1. Their prices are a wee bit too high.
2. Those won't work in the front.

AM is one of many vendors of GPM XMODS parts. He happens to be quicker than the Hong Kong folks with less shipping costs (and I live in Houston, so it only takes a day for me to get them), but on the downside, he's often out of stock, doesn't have the selection of, say, Dinball, and of course costs more than some of the other vendors.
Ultimately, I think the shafts are worth it. I just blew out another plastic front one, and having to replace those runs 7.50 each. Blowing out a rear one, if you don't have any spares, is even more hassle, unless you can find someone who sells surplus invididual sets without the car attached. Personally, I think $30 is worth if for the fronts...I've lost 4 now in my last two race "events"

No, I mean compared to others. Personally, I've had really good luck with cjshobbies.net, except they're out of stock quite a bit. Their prices are lower than even the almighty dinball, and it takes about 3 days from Tennesse to New Jersey with really cheap shipping.
Edit: 3.50 for AWD front shafts:

4.25 for rear wheel shafts:

Bad news I recieved a email from dinball.
Quote:
The stock of GPM(#XM039F/4WD) is delayed. It may not be on the site in the near future.
Best regards,
Sherman

Jeez, I hope that's the same delay I got from them and not a new one. I've got 4 plastic ones left, but I think all the weight and increased turning abilities are putting too much stress on them, because they're snapping left and right. I'm trying to pick up 4 of them, but I have a bad feeling this next run of them is going to be quite limited.
Given the trouble it's taking to make them, I'm surprised at how inexpensive they are.

Hi there CJ, You have some great items in your shop. I've tried to order but can't find any shipping info. Will you ship to the U.K.?
