Default Shaft rubbing issue

OK, looking for a reasonably easy fix for this.

I have a stock AX10 chassis, R2J skid with the inboarded lower link mounting and bent Axial lowers in the rear. I moved the axle end of the link to the inside of the inner tab to keep wheelbase on the longer side. Now I get some pretty decent rubbing on the driveshaft, gets better with compression, but at a vertically neutral position, the articulation is bad on that side.

Is there a shaft that is narrower, not sure if MIP or someone makes one? Or some way to reorient the link?

I also had some axle rub with my bent links I pushed them to the out side to clear the axle. some pics would be nice.

Nope, just the stock bent links. I know if I put the links back in the stock position, it would solve the problem, but that defeats the purpose of the skid and the inboard mounting.

I guess I was just wondering if there were any shaft mods that people used to get around this issue.
