I have been running MIP shafts on my AX10 for a while now...it wasn't until tonight I noticed that the front shaft ends meet fairly quickly while compressing down the front. I have barely any front end compression at all before the shafts end up touching each other.

I know the distance from the tranny to the front is shorter than the rear. Did I install my shafts incorrectly?

Are both front and rear shafts from MIP the same length?

According to TCS pictures it looks the same...

Need a little more information, are you running the stock chassis, with the stock transmission an its stock location, if so then you should be ok, If you are running a aftermarket chassis the moves the transmission, or a aftermarket transmission, or a Dig, then that will change a lot of things, I had to take a little off the female side when I moved my transmission forward, and run the shortened version in the rear because i use a dig in mine, anyway that was the case with mine, and you may have to do something similar with yours depending on your set up.

Ohhh....that might be the case. I am running the VP Incision chassis and the tranny is probably mounted forward a bit. Also I know MIP also makes a unit for the dig versions but I don't plan on running dig on my shafty.

It's not a terrible issue since I still have decent side to side articulation.
