well I've got a problem with my driveshaft. when it sits in the car it seems to be to small but its the stock one.

I think that there is something that goes in the center gearbox that pushes it forward a little.

the center gearbox. it slides in all the way.

front gearbox. it can only go 3/4 of the way in.

if this was the cause then can somebody tell me the part i need.

if anybody has any sugestions please tell me. thanks:\
 
i have used small bits of fuel tubing in my rc10gt to hold the shafts tight. put a piece in each outdrive.

you may also be able to put some shims behind the outdrives to move them out a bit. depends on how much shaft you have to work with.
