I do understand about the strength of the drive shaft, I will upgrade that if I have to....
Your set up looks nice too!
This is what Protrac states:
**While the stock axles will work with the ProTrac™ Suspension Kit, some customers may want a heavy duty CVD option for their truck (for Racing or Extreme Bashing purposes). The following MIP option has been confirmed to work with the kit:
MIP #11104 X-Duty CVD Kit (2 Required for Front and Rear)
MIP #10133 X-Duty Front Axle (2 Required for Front Left and Front Right)
Additional note: If you already own X-Duty CVDs for the Slash®/Stampede® 4x4, you can use MIP #11105 Male bones to convert your drives to the new length. Axles can then be skipped in this case.
In Rally-1 I'm using the MIP#11104 and 10133 parts.
I haven't sized the OEM plastic axles to the Protrac system, however on Rally-2, I have converted that fully over to the XO-1 CVDs, 6mm Spindles, Hub carriers and bearings. I sized it up with the Protrac system and think it will work. I plan to run it as is if I install the Protrac on Rally-2
Here is my Thread regarding that
Front, 6.18mm exposed at the full extended travel = 10.61mm of insertion contact.
