Question Transmission with 6mm outputs?

Hi guys, I am looking for a transmission with 6mm shaft outputs. Want to use it in a TF super build. I looked at most trannys I have access to like ax10, pede, r2, WK etc. The only ones I found were WK and rock force. The first needs mods to lower the cog and the latter needs a gear down to work in non worm axles. I also thought about CDW 6mm outputs but he seems to have stopped making them:-(. RC4WD has some adapters (5 to 6 mm) but they do not look like a trusty solution. Any ideas are welcome since I live overseas (Greece) and I cannot afford to make any mistakes (shipping costs kill me) plus if I get something broken I have to wait 2 to 3 weeks for delivery. Thank you in advance guys!

You could use a TXT-1 trans, but it has both of the problems you mentioned. Pretty bulletproof, though.

I thought about the TXT but having to face both probs just isn't worth it, too many parts to fail! Egressor, this looks like a cool solution, actually I have thought of that too but local brass and copper stores sell bulk only so I would have to buy somthing like 20 meters of tubing for less than 20mm needed. I saw the store you suggested ships to Greece but my German is not that good anymore to complete a transaction and being sure I will not make any mistakes. BTW do you still make the spools for AX10, cause I want a pair but cannot seem to find info on where to send money. Maybe you can send a brass tube along with the spools!!! Thanks a lot guys for the info.
