All I see over there are the smaller size ones and thats going off the models they list as fitting w/16mm drive shafts. Mine are 18mm I think. The boot size is 25mm x 47. I suppose I could cut the smaller ones slightly on the shaft side. I was hoping someone made a direct replacementI think the only place you might be able to get them from is Rovan .
Glue the pins in the shaft? Why ? That's what the grub screw is for, to hold them in place. You could run without them, some have had good luck and some not. For me , I didn't. The pins lasted less than a tank before showing alot of wear or just snapping all together.Is there any reason not to glue the pins in place somehow? You could remove them with heat if you broke one I suppose. I guess I could downsize to the smaller shafts and cups in order to run boots OR just keep what I have and watch it. I mainly run on grass and sand so no rocks. I could add shields if needed. I have had this truck for a long time but I am just now running it so I have little experience on whats gonna break. I have wrenched on it plenty but I admit I haven't really run it super hard to bust anything serious up.

Ive been letting off. And still was snapping the pins ?
Also it wasn't jumps. Just randomly, would be going thru the grass and it would snap a pin.
ok also maybe the ddm pins i am using are just too soft to be ran dry with the hardened flm cupsThe only pin I broke was due to the grub screw backing out, and the pin came loose, caught the edge of the lower arm and snapped.
I just checked my pins, and the unbooted pin was loose. If I were to leave it and go for another run, I'll bet it will snap like the last one. I'm going to see what red thread lock on the pin will do. I'm looking into an alloy sleeve of some sort, like what you see on the Godzilla axles to keep the pins from popping out in the event of a loose pin. I'll let you know how the red threadlock works out, and if I find a suitable sleeve option.
