The standard Rat/Monkey shafts are listed as part number 125000522 & the X2/X2c ones are listed as 125000457 & retail for about £4 more than the standard kit ones, so i'd be tempted to go for those. Both are interchangeable & look identical so there is no problem with getting them to fit.

When i bought my Mad-Monkey
both drive shafts at the back snapped clean off at the stub axle where the hex pin goes through on landing from a jump - 1st one went on the cars 1st run out on a track when it landed from the 1st jump it ever took & the other went about 5 or 6 weeks later in exactly the same spot on the axle.
I have spoke with a couple of people say they have had similar issues with their rat / monkey kits they have bought around the same time as i got mine so i'm guessing there is either a bad batch going around or they have simply changed the metal somewhere to a weaker grade & the parts are not as strong for some reason & the newer ones are weaker & BigChris has also fallen victim.
Thankfully i did manage to get some spare old standard mad-rat ones to use as donors which so far have held out & i never broke one on my old mad-rat, although i'd be tempted to get some X2/X2c ones as the part numbers are different so i'm guessing they are made of different metal.
