Short side Wraith. They have just enough engagement. The axial universals are to short. A set of modified XR shafts would be best to get full engagement into the locker.

Do you have an aluminum center with plastic tubes now?
We can swap out the tubes, no problem.

Are you just wanting to upgrade to the smooth aluminum tubes and no lockouts, assuming its in the rear?
We can swap the tubes, it's no problem, unless you're wanting to go all aluminum. Same price either way since you're providing the center diff.

You mean the Axial Short side wraith universals are too short but the VP Short side wraith VVDs are just long enough to make some contact?
