Try YBSLOW,ASHFORD HOBBY,BROOKLYN HOBBY. They are very popular items and seem to sell really fast.

YB Axles
We are out of stock at the moment. We have some new design liteweight axles that are even lighter and just as strong as the originals coming out in a couple of weeks made out of 304 stainless steel. We also have MRX4-X hollow stainless steel 2-speed shafts (16g as opposed to 26g for stock shaft) back in stock around that time as well.

Do you think you will have them in by January, have a GP to race at, and i really wanted to try theme out, i'll surely be interested in the MRX4-X hollow stainless steel 2-speed shafts and lightweight axles, do you really get some king of improvement as far as performance, handling etc..?
Now that being said, the amount of performance gain for any given mod in these already incredibly disproportionate power/weight monsters is most likely going to be very hard to quantify visually. You may see a few hundredths of a second shaved off your times if you do substantial upgrades to lighten up the driveline. If you are an incredible driver and consistantly sit in the top in the leader boards then mods such as these can be advantageous. But, for the average or even above average driver, working on your driving skill would be "money" better spent...

Any time you reduce the rotational mass aka "moment of inertia" of anything in the car's drivetrain you are going to get an increase in performance. Basically it means its easier for the motor to transfer torque to the wheels. You can think of each rotating element in the drive line as a contributor to parasitic drag on the engine. So the less drag on the engine the easier it is for the engine to transfer power to where it matters, "the wheels".
