no.... you will need new drive shats for sure! unless you lower it so the drive shafts are atraight but i'm not sure if that will even stretch!

me to ^^^^^^^^ I also added emax driveshafts to have more beef to them if you will. When extending it the shafts get real close to popping out. I wanted them a little more rugged. I cut the shafts to fit them. The whole thing don't fit unless you stretch far.

I like the way mine performs. I keep it on scale sized rocks if you will. Nothing that would be rediculous if it were real. But I really like the way it turned out. I'm pretty sure mine are 118s. I'll be getting kreepys chassis when its released and hope for it to perform a little better. Also I'm ordering true diff locks. mine are putty in the rear and 500,000wt oil in the front. Its very open in front and is in desprate need of a locker.
