Try replacing it with aluminum tubing...I know it will bend if you hit hard enough..but what the heck..your flying .You can get the alum at a local hardware store.
At least until you can get some carbon tubes from your supplier.

Do not replace ur it to aluminum tube unless you can make a good supporter for it and use the thick tube... at lease 1mm or else it useless.... will bend every time .... (but if you super pilot.. then don't worry) but i assume not... since u broke the carbon fiber 
...
Maybe u can try something like mine....

Hey guys, you might be able to use an aluminum arrow shaft, available at most sporting good and archery places, even online. they use really tough alum, and its annodized in almost any colors. also comes in different sizes, and wall thickness.
