Default Blew a alpha 2 counter

I blew my Alpha 2 gen 2 counter. I have most of it apart and the gears seem fine. I think I snapped the drive shaft.. How do the aftermarkets hold up .. I see they have a 3 yr no fault warranty ?

If you are breaking driveshafts in the Alpha, you should upgrade to B1's. See if you can find a nice set of take offs.

I know the alphas are not the best but they are on the cheaper to repair and the cost to swap to bravos is not something I want to put into this boat. It is my first boat so I am learning with it..so at some point I will sell this ride and upgrade.. Thanks
