Get bent!

[StrangeRanger]

Well, I've only "flown" my Shogun twice and already I have an "upgrade opportunity". No, I didn't crash it. Right out of the *&^%$! box my main shaft is bent! WTF?!
I was spooling up and noticed a wicked shake. So I figured my "balanced" blades weren't balanced, so I checked them. They are perfect. So I spun the main mast by hand w/out the blades on and yup, bent wicked. Un-f'in-believeable!
I haven't looked yet, but I'm going to, but I was wondering if any of you know where to pick up a sturdyier main shaft than OEM?
I can't beleive this.

Hi J,

The stock mainshaft is a pretty soft aluminum, I went with the steel shaft for mine, it was a little heavier, but it is much much stronger than ther Al.

Heliproz might have them as well, but their page was down when I tried to search for it.

Thanks Sar. I found one at HobbyWarehouse and Heliporz. I was just unsure of the part # but you helped there. :) Thanks!
