You will have to clearance the upper arms if you plan to run the 3.3 sliders. The new uppers that traxxas sell have the clearance cuts on them already, but easy to do with a dremel or bench grinder. I have always used the 3.3 knuckles so I am not sure how well the 2.5 knuckles will work. Looks like you have modded the 2.5 axles to fit so I guess that will be ok. I never use nuts on the shock screws, so that would be why I have never had clearance problems. Traxxas does not use nuts when they assemble the shocks to the arms either...

2.5 shafts suck, the 3.3 sliders are a much better item, especially if you plan to run high torque motors like the 700s you mention.
