CREEPERBOB does make custom Ti rear axle shafts for just about any rc vehicles. If you'll send measurements to him and he'll fab up some axles for you.

I'll be sticking with traxxas driveshafts for now, it's real thick and the freestyles axles should be real stout and shouldn't flex at all, therefore less chance of breakage.

Those are nice looking, but good steel is far better for this application than titanium.
