Default Drive shaft Help.

So i just got my WK 4x4 and i used the traxxs parts to stretch it out but only the lower links. For the rear i had to mount it to the hole that is farther back on the rear axle because when i went to the first hole the rear end it is far away so the drive shaft falls out. what has anyone done about this so that i can strech it out more?

Thanks

Get new drive shafts. The Traxxas Revo's work as well as the Tmax with 6mm output flanges. You then will trim the shafts till they fit your rig. just make sure you know the wheel base you want to stay at before you chop the new drive shafts.

if you use maxx shafts... you can get 12.5" wheel base and you can leave the male end of the WK shafts (closest to the tranny) on.... so you only need the female maxx shafts.

The WK yokes are fine but the traxxas yokes are a bit bigger and probably stronger, both would probably hold up fine.
