Turbo Optima front axles replacements

Post by lebowski770 »

Hello, it has been awhile. I recently noticed, on my turbo optima, my front axles(called swing shafts in the manual) are slightly bent. I am sure this question has been asked a million times but does anyone know of replacement ones that will work from other Kyosho model vehicles?

Best bet might be the new uj axles for the new optima. Or, put those swing shafts on a flat metal surface and tap them straight.

The rere optima bones are the same length as the old 006's. You can find them on eBay cheap.
