Custome wheelbase, what drive shafts?

[Rokslayer]

Yeah i searched, and found out that the mips work best but my wheel base is 12 7/8 so im not sure they will work. futher more the rear end is lengthened more than the front. the rear from output to output is roughly 5 5/8 in leangth and the front is roughly 5 3/8 to a 1/2. if any bodys got a mip set up or know about them i would appreciate any info. thanx.

I did the same thing, and my WB is at 12.8" using a Proline 2008 F250 body. So I took a few packs of the Traxxas 1951 shafts and metal yokes to make mine. Basically one pack of shafts will make one extended shaft on your rig. You can use the two female shafts and one male shaft.

Cut the yoke off a male shaft and glue the shaft into a female shaft, making sure you have enough spine contact.

You'll end up having two female shafts on each end with the male shaft (with yoke removed and glued into one) in between. Make sense?

output - output to the bearing face? i ask cause i'm using komodo axles on my honcho and got lots of spline left in the rear. i can measure if you need?

I built this little extension for the rear of my Honcho.


My wheelbase is 13.250

Thanx guys, i think ill go with the traxxas shafts idea, why didnt i think of that i got a million. besides i need a quick fix, i just got to mock it up and get it running befor i put the brushless setup in it and tear it to shreds, having said that, cavedave, what and how did you make that extention from. ill be needing sumtin like that for the brushless.
