I have a project I am working on I need some help with selecting a front driveshaft. I am currently setting it up w/ traxxas HD maxx shafts, and my front shaft is super short, sub 3".

I am having an issue w/ it binding, I need a driveshaft that will deal w/ high misalignment and still be able to be cut down short and stay strong. I am also worried about the strength of the shaft being so short like it is currently. Thanks for any help. Pics of my project can be found here:

RC4WD punishers should work... I would fix the pinion angle issue first though

The front end is not done yet, still need to shorten upper links and finalize the mounting location, but I know I am going to have driveshaft issues as it is already. I am jjust curious what people recommend as the driveshafts that are capable of the highest drive angles, w/o the right shaft it is difficult for me o determine what I will end up with up front. I made some custom pinion support/driveshaft adaptors and I will need to adapt the new shaft for it.
