Default Best drive shafts for the worst angles?

Hey guys!

I have a 6x6 SCX10 based truck which has pretty horrible angles for the drive shafts.

I'm currently using hardened Axial Wild Boars but I think they are running at their max.

Has any of you been in a situation where you needed to find "better" (ie. ones that can do worse angles) drive shafts than the WB's? Any good or bad experiences?

I'm looking for steel ones.

I've heard that the MIP's don't do as great angles as the WB's, and I have absolutely no knowledge about the Punisher shafts by RC4WD.

Any recommendations?

(And no, it's not possible to move the middle axle further back nor is it possible to clock the middle axle any further.)

In my opinion mips are the best shaft on the market. I was running junfacs on my scx with a pro 4 and kept blowing them up when i went to mip's i no longer have this issue and can run at much steeper angles.
just my 2cents

Could do that, either by attaching the shocks higher or going the trasfer case route, but then I don't have the facilities to fabricate the motor mounts etc.

Right now I'm just looking for drive shafts that can handle awkward angles.

punishers are a universal design as opposed to cvd so they should take more angle. people say the metal ones are durable but may develop some slop over time.
