Did what a lot of people seem to do and lost some of my C-clips and even 2 pins in the cup connecting the diffs to the wheel drive shafts.

I have a few problems:
1) There's no C-clips to find in Sweden, they're all out of stock.
2) One of my cups have cracked.

So... I need new cups which leads to the question, which ones?
...and is it worth upgrading to full steel driveshafts or am I just gonna bend or break other parts because of them when doing mostly bashing/jumps/stunts?

The cups I'm looking at are these: ARA311149 - https://www.arrma-rc.com/en/product/cvd-driveshaft-diff-outdrives-and-wheel-axles-2/ARA311149.html
The full driveshaft would be these: ARA311147 - https://www.arrma-rc.com/en/product/cvd-driveshaft-set-2/ARA311147.html
Do those fit on both front and rear by the way?

Hot-Racing is the only upgrade drive shaft I know of for 4s Arrmas. They make a model for the 4s Outcast. No plastic, all aluminum/steal.
 
Thank you, I will look into them.
Hold on - before you pull the trigger on anything, those may be for the old Outcast/Kraton 4S. God I wish they called these V2 4S cars literally anything else. Buying parts for them sucks, too many ambiguities between the old and new versions.

EDIT:
Ok, I think I figured it out.

These are listed as being compatible with the Kraton 4S V2: https://hot-racing.com/?partnumber=TFF288FC;c=1427

The Outcast page links to the same item, although it does not explicitly state that it's compatible with the Outcast V2, it's entirely possible they use the same part. Check that the composite shafts from Arrma fit both the outcast and the kraton, and if they do, I think it's safe to assume these HR shafts work on both (y)

Some have used Heat shrink wrap when they can't find the clips.
Others have become creative with other ways.

Yeah, this is what I do. I still had my c-clips but one popped off (somehow I lucked out and found it). Not having the c-clip shouldn't matter, but you'll have to check periodically to make sure the shrinkwrap didn't get too hacked up. I made a thread about this a while back.

Yeah, currently running a cut m3 screw and a 3d printed clip in waits for my new parts. Will heat shrink wrap them from the get go next time.

Saw your thread, thanks! I will do that.
