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?

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
