Stock, did not know I had an aftermarket option.Stock or aftermarket?
Both front and rearAre you looking for front or rear?
Everything seems to be on backorder right now on this platform. Can't even get a straight answer from horizonhobby. I ordered a arrma typhon roller last week and still hasn't shipped and it is in stock.
Please elaborate, give me the sites please.Plenty of them available from hobby shop here in Australia

Drive pins are shot and I believe the rods themselves are bent.At one point there was and I believe phatdad made them. Did something happen to yours or is your drive pins shot?
The 2.0 has fixed pins in the shafts@Darnell do you have shafts and need pins or do you not have them?

Small block, but hell! How do u press the pins out?@Darnell gotcha, if they weren't bent you can press the pins out. You running a small block or a big bore?
Nice, learned something new thanks brother.Do you have access to an arbor press or a hydraulic press? If you have a harbor freight near by pick up an arbor press and then return it lol.
So you'll need a 1/4" socket that when you rest the ball of the dogbone on it the socket won't let the dog bone move when you press the pin out. Set the dog bone up on the socket and use the press to push the pin out, when you can't drive the pin down any further take a new pin and line it up with the old one and start pressing that one in... use a pair of needle nose to hold the pin so your hand isn't going to get crushed.
Wow a wealth of information, I owe u one! I appreciate it sir.Not a problem. To make it easier for you and if you don't have a spare set of hands to help try and find a tad smaller pin or something hardened and drive the old pin out and set up the new pin. My warning tho is don't try and drive it out with a hammer, my wife had to dig a shard out of my stomach.
Also the pins are 5mm×24mm. McMaster carr sells them and I've used kraken vekta.5 drive pins for my 2.0 so there's plenty of availability to help you out. If you go the kraken route their long so you'll have to measure and then just grind about 6mm or so off each side

Yea u may be correct I believe it’s only the back rod that’s bent.Maybe this might work?

If your front center is not bent you can press the pins out and press in new pins like rep723 mentioned. I have done it and is not too hard.
The rear you can use the vitavon kit.
Is pretty hard to bend the front shaft as it is thick as hell and not too long.
Make sure to buy aluminum chassis braces also to help with chassis flex.
Man U guys are good!Maybe this might work?
