Jato shaft / yoke takes 5mm shaft?

Want to use this Jato shaft:

In my TLT.. it will be connected to these yokes:

So the question is: Are those yokes designed to take 5mm shaft (like those found on TLT).. or?!

I e-mailed Traxxas and they told me that they have no idea and want me to go see a LHS.. (they don't know.. which is hard to believe..)

I know some of you guys use Jato shaft, so let's hear it.. Thanks!!

i have a full set sitting here waiting, im kinda pissed i bought them and couldnt figure it out, lol

ill be watching for an answer also.

correct me if im mistaken but i think ive heard of people drilling into the existing dogbone cups/ boring the shafts out to slide over that and pin in place.

Hmm, I don't understand.. if you got it already, why don't you just test fit it to the TLT axle to see if the yoke takes 5mm shaft..

I know Revo shaft takes 6mm shaft, so it is a direct fit for TXT, but TLT uses 5mm shaft....

I took the yokes out of my jato shaft and put the traxxas harden steel yokes in on my 4runner (the ones ment to use with a pede slider shaft). The pins are little bit smaller on the steel yoke, then the opening on the jato shaft but its been fine so far.
