The Nerd's new rig

I discovered a rather strange issue with my one of my scx10 shocks yesterday. The shaft had been only partly ti nitrided (the gold stuff) and is rather hard to move in and out. I was going to email axial, but in no uncertain terms on their website it states they won't deal with international warranty. So it looks like I'll be out of pocket for a new set of shafts ($13 US). I'll put up a picture later.
