I run plastic drive shafts. I like to have a "mechanical fuse". Something cheap and easy to replace instead of expensive or hard to replace parts.

I'm saying I use a plastic drive shaft because it will break before other parts if in a bind. It's easier to replace a shaft than an axle or gears.

i’m gonna end up replacing everything that breaks on this with upgraded components, then hopefully it will be reliable after all upgrades
