Short Driveshaft?

[SurfinStud]

So, I've recently been crawling more and got the itch to mod the OG SCX some more. My intent is to run A new bright 2 door jeep. Ideally I want it to look very scale and with an extended front end.

So, to achieve to right wheelbase I would need to simply shorten the rear nearly an inch. If I do this, I then run into the issue of the DriveShaft being far too long....

So, is there a short driveshaft that could fix this issue?

Orrr, do I readjust how the body rests on the chassis and take some out of the front links as well?


Total newb, teach me whats proper.
Thanks in advance.

Well, it is a plastic drive shaft.
You can cut it down.
Measure twice, cut once.

No, that’s wrong. Measure, cut, fit, swear, throw it out, get it back from the trash to confirm it’s now too short, swear again, go buy another drive shaft, measure, cut, then cut again because you’re too cautious and cut it too short. Now move on.

Nah, I think I have wild boar upgrades.

Bought the rig used, so dont know what ALL it has exactly, brand and what not but I think thats what they are.

So, even still, a grinder and a dremil would get that job done, but I'd need to trim both the splined male side and the female side. IF I did that, I then have an issue of the male end having too short of a splined section. (Ill post pics if need be, but the male end has a "neck" before the splines, meaning I would be cutting splines)

I just don't agree with the swearing part

Hahaha!

I cut it twice and it's still too short.
