For anyone who fitted the WPL twin speed gearbox did you get drive shafts with your kit?

I suppose that's good news, how did you connect then? Buy some new ones?

More work on the GAZ 69 tonight. Doors hinged. Seat support and trans tunnel fitted. by Will Pattinson, on Flickr

Designed my own trans tunnel and seat mount for the GAZ69

I should explain this will be running WPL running gear. Metal internals, twin motors, however since this is closer to 1/13 scale i am thinking it deserves larger motors. So going 9v Direct drive geared 180 units. Running 2s lipo.
THe body was printed from Thingverse, but that is the easy bit, making it a fully working RC means i am making alot of parts myself, also changing and chopping it a bit to make it work as intended.

I checked out this link and am a bit confused. https://www.gearbest.com/rc-car-parts/p ... id=1433363 The description reads "Original WPL Transmission Shaft for B24 C14 C - 14 1/16 Military Truck RC Car - GRAY ". I may not be the world's best mechanic, but the photo looks like a set of 4 shock absorbers to me. Question is, if you order it which do you get?

I also noticed, but hey the 'transmission shafts' look like they will help the suspension greatly and at good price lol
