Don't be sorry, disscussion is a good thing, its how we learn.
I have been using brian's and v8hatche's builds as guides and when I asked v8hatch what he used for his front shaft he said this.

So since this has been working for him I figured it would be a good way to go since like I said before.
It would be cheaper and easier in the long run to make the shaft like his.
I'f say the dog bone end happened to twist off the shaft, I could just loosen the set screws and change it.
Funny thing tho, show me a monster truck (rc) that runs dog bones, that has hollow dog bones?
The only hollow ones I've ever seen were slider shafts, and we all know how easy those twist (usually plastic).
I don't know, I'll go with what I've planed out and if by chance a solid hardened steel shaft breaks I'll try tubing
