| Yokes/ Driveshafts questions!
Hi, I'm building my first ever crawler (a 2.2" WK), and need some help with Yokes and driveshaft choices. For the moment I'm using WK axles and trans, but i don't have any yokes/ driveshafts. My wheelbase is at 12 3/8th" I tried searching but the examples I found cited using maxx halfshafts and WK yokes, well i dont have WK yokes, so I'm a bit stuck! Thanks in advance Alex |

If you have the room when the suspension cycles, you could go with Revo shafts. They are almost bulletproof. You can buy complete shafts that already have the yokes. They are the Revo axle shafts. Reason I say "if you have the room" is due to the fact that they are a good deal larger in diameter than the stockers. Thye are about 5/8"-3/4" in diameter. You'd have to cut both halves down to shorten the overall length...but that's pretty simple.

I've got 4 coming (enough to swap the yokes around 2 make 2 complete shafts) on a free shipping ebay auction. i should have room for the extra width thanks alex |

Another good reason for using them is because they fit the 6mm shafts of the trans output and the axle pinion...so no issues there |
