Drive Shafts
There are 3 different sizes of drive shafts?
I noticed they are listed as 2.97 x 81L, 2.97 x 77L, 2.97 x 73L!
What is the difference? Length? Diameter?
Is the 2.97 the length of the shaft in inches?
What do 81L, 77L, and 73L mean? Anyone have the actual diameter of the shaft in either inches or meters?
Are there 3 different lengths of shafts or 3 different diameters?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I think 73L is the lenth and the 2.97 is the diameter of the rods. Not positive but thats what it seems to me. And I heard there is only 2 lenths. I think the longest one is for the civics, skylines, and supras, and the medium for the rsx. I'm really not sure about that and kinda think that the supra is the medium and the rsx has the shortest.

I was wondering the same thing. Maybe we'll see some short wheelbase cars coming up? Any speculations?

The short wheelbase setting is tight you really have to move things around to get the motor up in there without rubbing.

hmm, since that RC magazine said euro tuner cars are coming in january, i speculate that the short wheelbase is for the VW GTI or similarly small cars
