Default dropped and stretched...driveshaft ideas?

Laying here in bed, with the flu. Using my kindle, and couldn't get the search function to work. So, sorry if this question has been asked a hundred times...

I recently stretched, and dropped my MRC. Going for a scale build. Custom fab job, all the way. Longer suspension links made out of thick "tomato-cage" wire... Custom aluminum plates to extend the y-arms. Sounds shady, but it's solid.

The wheelbase is now 10". Hopefully I can use a cc01 land cruiser body. Possibly a newbright lr3...or something else.

My question is, are there any drive shafts available for this longer wheelbase? Possibly off another crawler? Or from a hopup parts manufacturer? My drive shafts of course no longer connect...I've got a tentative custom fab design in mind, but would consider a simple pay-n-play if one is available.

Any good links to other member's MRCs that are dropped and stretched?

Thanks for your help, guys...

Traxxas mini shafts work great and are really strong:
Buy 1 of these: Traxxas #1951
Buy 2 of these: Traxxas #1539R

Used them here for 9.5" and had to cut them down
Dinky MRC build

MIPS with 4mm Allen wrench welded to the male end. Would be the modded way to go.
