Mato Gearbox shaft

Anyone know where I can get a long output/drive shaft for a Mato gearbox.

I noticed my drive wheel was a bit wonky and the output shaft was bent slightly. I bent it back and it ran fine until I fitted the tracks and the damn thing snapped.

I don't think you can buy the shafts seperately. Dam shame as those brass shafts bend so easy :-<

If you know anyone who can do metal work maybe get them to copy the brass shaft in steel. Then he can sell the shafts, he'll make a killing :O

I personally haven't got any more mato or other brass (even the new watersons premium ones look same) for that reason. Last few gearboxes I got was the black steel ones which so far haven't broke but time will tell.
