Default Longer Driveshafts

I have looked around and found that some of the Traxxas shafts will work, but am not sure if I have the correct part number/item description. If I use Traxxas shafts, do I need to get the output yokes also or will the work with the HPI ones? These are the items I have found, can I get verification on which to go with?

Really hoping these will work with HPI yokes...give me a spares to play around with in the future:
TowerHobbies.com | TRA1953 1953 Traxxas Long Truck 1/2 Shaft Pro Pak (6)

Are these different than the first link?
TowerHobbies.com | TRA4951X 4951X Traxxas Half Shafts Long T-Maxx (2)

TowerHobbies.com | TRA4928X 4928X Traxxas Diff Output Yokes w/Screw Yoke Pins 2.5 (2)

The first link you posted is for the Stampede. They're great for scale trucks but won't hold up on a WK. What you need are the T/E- Maxx shafts, much beefier . If I remember correctly, the Maxx shaft U-joint ball will fit the stock HPI yokes, but it will be snug.

the stock yolks will work with maxx shafts, you don't "have" to replace those, fyi. You can, don't have to, even with revo shafts.

Default Re: Longer Driveshafts

this is what you need
Traxxas*T/E*Maxx**Half...

these are for the WK axles 6mm
Traxxas*T/E*Maxx*diff...

you can use these for the axial tranny outputs 5mm
TRAXXAS*Transmission*Output...

but I would use these steel outputs with the holes for the axial tranny
Axial*Steel*output*Shaft...

the locking pins on the traxxas universals are very strong
they've been working on Rich's 12 lb 1/6th willys for years.
