Default WK driveshafts?

Are the WK drive shafts sliders like Pede shafts? If not how long are they from yoke to yoke? Im building a tuber with a pede tranny and need to know If I should get different driveshafts. If I do need to get new shafts what would you guys reccomend?

yes they are sliders like the pede. Im using Maxx shafts because they are a perfect fit.

How long are they fully extended, 4 inches? So that about 3 1/4'' working length per side..with me using the pede tranny on top of the WK driveshafts how bug of a wheel base could that leave me with? To bad I dont have the WK in my possesion yet or this would be easy.

I've heard the Revo sliders work just fine on the WK. I suppose that's always an option.

the WK sliders are similar design to pede sliders but the KEY they use is different. Once I start my build I'll be running jatos though, the WK's are very short

The drive shafts I used are the Traxxas part # 5451x bigger, stronger and longer than the originals.
