Ok, strange as this may be, a few months back I left a review of my experience with the Cayman Pro RTR, on Furitek's website, outlining my issues with the truck (for 5 months I had a literal $600 very cool looking paperweight), but my biggest issue was with the way their "Customer Service" treated me during that process. It was what caused me to stop RC for almost a year.The Furitek Cayman, as far as I know just uses FMS FCX24 axles. You should be able to source parts here

Or simply buy the appropriate aftermarket parts. Nexx Racing, Meus Racing, Treal, Hot Racing, and a number of other companies make upgrade parts for the FCX24, which is what the Cayman is bssed on.
But as Tunedfrog said, the Deadbolt is a great 24th scaler. Everybody should own at least one
After I left that review, the very next day, I was contacted by Furitek direct, and the person who contacted me explained that they were trying to fix all of these issues. At that time, he stated they were going to send me a replacement axle. I never heard back from him, until suddenly today, BOOM, there is an email. They are shipping me a brand new axle, only this one has a fully aluminum body on it, and the cost of this axle is $89, but they are not charging me for it. I am still in shock. If/when this new axle arrives, I will update everyone, and I will take back every bad thing I have ever said about Furitek. That will absolutely show me that they are indeed trying to fix things.
With this new axle being silver aluminum, and the originals, along with the replacement I purchased, are all black plastic, this also means I am going to have to buy a brand new $89 axle, as well. "Just when you think you're out, they pull you back in!" - Al.
