Steve, were you just trying to order more of the standard shock shafts from RC-Champ?
It looks like the Kyosho shafts are a no go down to lack of availability. There appear to be some of the rear ones around, but RC-Champ said Kyosho had sold out of the front ones. A call to Kyosho UK confirmed the fronts are not available and they have zero stock of the rears. Kyosho USA have some fronts, but don't ship to the UK!
I'm going back to plan A and will try the Yokomo shafts. They're not quite the right length, but I'd rather have something that isn't going to bend. I'm being lent a set, so should be able to confirm their diameter in the next day or so.
You never know, they may be better. They should at least suffice until Tamiya (hopefully) release their own version.
If people are interested the Yokomo part numbers are:
40.7mm titanium nitride coated shock shaft #YS-5S-2T
43.5mm titanium nitride coated shock shaft #YS-5M-2T
