Roche appears to have one length.

According to the Xray manual, 50 MM is for foam and 52 mm is for rubber.

From what I read in this thread, If an RSD conversion is in my future, then I would need the narrow ones. Is this accurate?

I only will be racing rubber tires on carpet, if this makes a difference.

With the Xray being roughly $100.00 a set, I have not been able to find any of the others available in the US. I would like to have a set by next weekend.

Thanks.
I think the foam/rubber quote is a bit too simplistic.

You can use either length driveshaft on any surface and the RSD conversion doesn't change that.
By the way, the RSD 'thin axle' are 51mm, their 'wide axle' is 52mm
