Default Drive shafts

I am building a wreckluse chassis that I got used from RCC and the trans has been moved forward some. I was wondering were I can get me a longer drive shaft for the rear and a shorter from the front. I dont think the maxx shafts will hold up to the abuse cause the rig will be about 10+ lbs. So what kind of drive shafts would you all use.

Front: 101.6mm - 109mm
Rear: 139mm - 146mm

I have maxx shafts on my scale truck and also my comp. They pop off every once in a whike on the sclae truck cause of the driveshaft angle. I dont want to deal with this on the wreckluse. Its running droop suspention so when it articulates the angle will get worse and pop the shaft off.

The front MIP shaft is to long and the rear is to short since the trans has been moved forward.
