emaxx flextek arms to long!!!!

I have Flextek arms and 3.3 shafts. The only thing I could find long enough. But it work fine and I love my setup. Just make sure you brace the rear of your front lower pins. There is a thread or 2 here showing the brace I made.

I dont think even the UE or MIP would work. These arms are longer than stocks wiether you run 2.5 or 3.3 knuckles.

And the steel u-joint sliders only lasted me about 5 runs, I had them for centers. They are junk. The pins wore out the metal fast and broke the outdrives.

The Flextek arms are great with a little modification, someone needs to make CVDs or Universals for them though. But Im sure there isnt a high enough demand.

REVO MIP CVDs are 10mm longer...maybe use them with REVO axle carriers, bearings, wheel adapters?

Or use the UE cvds?

I heard the MIPs and UEs are longer than most, but if they fit the regular arm length fine, then wont they be on the edge of the cups with the Flextek arms? Then you would have to find some longer cups right?

I personally dont want CVDs, just trying to help figure out a solution. Im happy with my 3.3's. But I do wish they would come out with a dogbone setup for the 3.3's. Then you could just have longer shafts made.
