Driveline Differences(2.5 t-maxx compared to .15 t-maxx)?????

[fordmaxxer]

Whats the differences i the t-maxx 2.5 compared to the first gen. .15 t-maxx???? (other than the 2.5's is longer and larger.) but will the 2.5 shafts fit on the .15 maxx???? i know i'll have to cut e'm down(too long), but is the output shaft on the tranny and differential the same size?????? and is the wheel bearings the same diameter to work??
I'm buying some used 2.5 shafts for my .15 maxx, and i need to know fast if they WILL FIT!

if it where me,
i would save the 2.5's and install the newer 2.5 arms ,,more stable ,
but if thats not what you wanna do then they are about 1/2" too long
and if i am not mistaken the bearings in the .15 maxx and the 2.5 are the same inner race diameter as the newer version ,
but if they aren't just replace your ends on the newer axles

btw the center shafts are different ,,
not sure if they are longer but they are

but will the output shafts on the tranny and the diff from the .15 maxx fit the 2.5 driveline parts???
