Ok, so i did some searching and basically came up with not a whole lot.
Here is my questions and situation...
I have a pede trans, which if i have read right, the output yoke is 5mm... correct?
I have wk axles, whos yokes are 6mm..correct?
Can i use stampede drive shafts and drill out one side to 6mm to fit the axles?
I dont have much mula to go out and by revo shafts or what not, just looking for something on the cheap side of things for now.

i made a crawler using these parts as well....the chassis i decided to use is a stock ax10 chassis....if you use the yoke that is mounted on the wheely king axles...then you can use stampede axles from the pede trans to the wheely king yoke....you might even be able to use a complete pede axle.....what do uou plan to use for a chassis "thumbsup"

I used to have a 'pede trans in my WK rig until I swapped out recently to an AX10 trans.
Here are the part numbers I used in my rig:
Driveline: Traxxas - # 4951x
Diff Yoke: Traxxas - # 4928x
Trans Yoke: Traxxas - #4927x
Now to fit those trans yokes onto the pede, you have to shave down the transmission side of the yoke down to just about the threaded pin hole before it will turn effortlessly. You also have to dremel the sides of the yoke to a "bevel" type of shape (this shape \____/ ) to get it to clear the transmission casing.
Another way of doing it is taking the metal 5mm yokes available from Traxxas and doing a bit of custom work, you can get them to work.
"Offroader5" did a small write-up and explains how to do it here:

I did that above and worked like a charm for me and my Ax10 trans

ON THE ROCKS,
*For my "confused king" i will be using a pede trans and wk axles witha Integy TVP chasis and home made aluminum/all thread links.
*For my "0 Balance" build, i will be using a pede trans, ax axles and ax chasis with delrin links.
Nerve, thanks for the part numbers, that just made my life a littel easyer :)
Now to figure out how to get my axial yokes to the pede trans..haha

Before you spend hours trying to make a small diameter drive shaft fit onto a 6mm WK pinion shaft. Toss the stock ring and pinion buy the Steel WK bevel gear set. They come with 5mm pinion shafts. It makes things a lot easier. And then you can run MIP steel drivelines :D
