HobbyKing EF-1 Motor Shaft ?

[Dale 813]

I need a replacement shaft for the EF-1 Hobby King Motor. Anyone It's 5mm and I think it's 64mm long. But I don't know where I can get it. Anyone have a bead on this ?

If you run into this problem again ( unable to find motor shafts) iI have replaced 3,4 and 5mm shafts with shafts I got at the local hobby shop. The shafts I use are intended for RC car suspension, but they are hardened and longer than you will usually need. I cut them to length and grind a small flat where the lock screws need to grip. They are cheaper and work great.
