I have a Losi rock crawler and the u-joint (that's what I would call it on my car) that connects the rear drive shaft to the transfer case has come apart (and gone missing somewhere in my backyard). I looked at the front drive shaft and it looks as though there is a pin that is pressed into place to hold the u-joint together. How can I fix this? Is this a part that most hobby/RC shops would have? Do I need specialized tools? Thanks for your help.
***If you look at the picture you should be able to see at the top left that the driveshaft end that has come out from the transfercase.
Thanks again.

Chances are you can find the parts on eBay. The only tool you need is an allen wrench for the set screw. It's a tiny size maybe a .50 or a 1/16. Good luck with the repair and welcome to the R/C world.
