Who's doing custom driveshafts?

[WheelMan]

It has been explained before, that having this "extra meat" you speak of on the CV (or dogbone), only weakens the part. This being because you still have to turn the end down that goes into the drive cup, so it can operate at the required angles. This leaves you with a shaft that is thicker in the middle than on the end...therefore, the end becomes the weak point. When the CV (or dogbone) takes an impact, the area that's the thinnest (in this case, the end that goes into the drive cup) will take most all of the load, since you've made the rest of the shaft bigger, so all the load is transfered to the weakest point...making it fail easier than if the whole shaft was one consistant thickness (this way it could transfer the load from the impact over the whole length of the shaft).

Robin has engineered his parts to actually take the beating, not just look like they can. And its been proven over several years of hard use and abuse by many veteran UE users. If you switch to using UE CV's, I'm certain you won't have any more issues like what you've had with the MIP shafts. No change is needed to his design, to make them stronger.
