Default Mip driveshafts too short

I purchased a used set of mip driveshafts for my wraith and they are too short. I have the rc4wd ax2 2 speed tranny and stretched the rear end ~.5in. The front driveshaft fits good but the rear is too short...the male half will barely reach the female half. Are they any extended outputs for the ax2 tranny? Or any way to extend the mip shaft? Also will the axial 32p spur gears fit on the rc4wd ax2 slipper?
Thanks

You could swap with someone who needs the shorter drive shaft.

Need these "Exclusive" MIP X-Duty CVD™ Bone - Super Shafty. I went a 1/4 longer in WB and lost my shaft at full droop. Not with these and cheap.

That extended shaft from Super Shafty is probably the beat way to go. MIP also makes a long ball end that will give you an extra 3/8" or so, if thats all you need. I had to use one on the rear driveshaft. You can find em on Tower. Super Shafty shows them out of stock at the moment. Search "MIP 5mm drive hub- long".

I've ordered the "exclusive" longer dog bone and two of the longer drive hubs. Between the three I will make something work. Thanks again for the suggestions

Still trying to learn what I am looking at. I did not see that it said Wraith and actually I did. It see the longer drive shafts digging through their site. I guess I got side tracked from all the SOLD OUT markings on a lot of stuff. Was wanting a Super Shafty Tranny.... thank you for the help. I will dig more before asking more questions. That has been all I have been doing for weeks is digging, reading and learning since all of this is new.

The digging never ends lol

Had I tried being more helpful than snarky I should have posted this MIP pic which shows the working length of the various combos & part #
