How long is that body end to end? I was thinking of using a micro for a body that looks similar in size..

also, what are you using for driveshafts? (hopefully I didnt miss that)

End to end im sittin at roughly 8.75". Wheelbase is 5.75"

The front shaft is stock, the rear shaft is a section of pen tube with parts of the stock driveshaft screwed into each end.
