Default Jatto Drive shaft length?

Hi guys, I ordered a pair of jatto drive shafts off ebay. I would like to get some more work done on my rig, but I am stuck on length issues. Can anyone tell me how long the Jatto shafts are? The guy hasn't even sent them yet so it could be a while till I see them. Sad thing is he is only about 3 hours from where I live. Any way thanks for the help!

That is too short. DAMN IT!!! I guess I will be ordering another set and hacking um up. I read a write up that used them and so I figured they were longer! Maybe I will just shrink my chassis. Hmmm...

Frank I always use Pede shafts, make sure you get the longer ones and you can buy a value pack of the damn things. I always use those and just cut them with a dremel and CA them together to make a longer one, works great and I never have any problems. Plus they are ALOT cheaper ;)

First off Jason thanks for the link but I was asking about the pede shafts, if you have a link for that, that would be awsome.

Second, I feel stupid for not looking at towers specs. Just didn't think of it.

But Tower claims that the shafts are Length: 3.8" (98mm) Diameter: 0.45" (11.5mm)

so which is it?
3.19" (81.01mm) or 3.8" (98mm)

The Jato driveshafts are 3.8". The Jato half-shafts are 3.19".

I'm looking for driveshafts to go from a TXT tranny to TLT axles; those Jato driveshafts might do it.
