Those are the HPI MT driveshafts, the links are made out of steel rod, we cut them to the length we needed the threaded them and used ball cups. They are about 4" or 4 1/2" dont really remember, our trucks look nothing like those anymore anyways lol

I had to dremel them down, take about 5 minutes. They fit into the diff outdrives but not the outputs on the axles

If you are going to use those you need to build you links to match the length of the driveshaft

They work really well in the sand compared to any other tire. Im going to florence, OR in a few months and im thinking about putting a brushless in that truck and taking it, should be fun
