Well i ordered a Hot Racing dig and have a few options regarding the rear driveshaft. Which way should i go. right now im running the standard MIP driveshafts which are basically bulletproof. Here are my options:

1. Order only one complete short MIP DS (thundertech shorty).
2. Order only the male bone from TCS since i already have the standard MIP's.
3. Cut and modify the stocker to work.
4. Order the Junfac short DS to work with the HR dig.

If any of you have any other insight, i would appreciate any info. Im really into making things uniform so thats why im leaning into either option 1 or 2 with 2 bieng cheaper. Thanks.

I used a Dremel with a cutoff wheel and cut the MIP's to fit on one of my rigs.

Just order the short bone from thunder unless ya can cut and weld your bone (don't grind/cut the long one because the splines don't go all the way inside the female side). The MIPs are better than anything else and ya got all the other pieces ya need.
