I would try to drill out stock axial yokes and fit the MRC yokes inside them and use AX10 shafts. Like the E MAXX driveshaft mod for the AX10.

if extra drive shafts are avail take 1 outer sleeve cut it and ca it to your current outer sleeve to extend it, or take 2 splined inner shafts put 1 on each yoke then take the outer sleeve cut off whater you need (all depends on how much you want to stretch it) and and ca it to the splined inner shaft from tranny out put and just install other end like normal. hope all my gibberish is understandable.

Default New Era Models extended MRC chassis

Try this link, they sell an extended chassis that includes DS extentions. May be available seperately.

Could be just my bad driving, but the extensions that come with the extended chasis from new era lasted about 4 drives.
