XXX-4 Front driveshaft options

[jimmiprice]

Guys ive just bought a new Losi XXX-4 G+which i thought was supposed to come with MIP CVD's. The box says it does and so does all Losi literature. However mine came with the usual big plastic driveshafts the old XX4's and XX's used to come with in the rear which i dont mind as they are pretty bulletproof. In the front came some bizarre driveshafts ive never seen before which ive been told are LCD's and not that good. I took care in building them properly and even put some heat shrink tubing over the tube the pins go through which kept them together for 3 qualifying runs but in the final i lost front drive. After checking it seems the pins in the CVD part are still in their original central position and tight but the connecting tube is missing completely. I can only assume as the pins are still as they should be the tube has twisted or bent and came out never to be seen again. I know i can buy a rebuild kit which will give me the part i need to repair them but i would like something a little more bulletproof.
Im thinking that the X Factory X5 and XX4 will have the same front shafts so there must be some other options rather than these LCD's.
Anyone have any ideas or links as to where ill find them ??
