I was told that Ofna measures their dogbones according to the overall length, not pin-to-pin. I might be wrong. Please let me know once you get the parts.

And as for the link on Kershaw Design, the dogbone is not 120mm.. it is only 114mm, according to Dan, the owner.

Yes, you are correct the 120mm measurement is end to end not pin to pin. It turns out that even with that I still had to grind the ends on my bench grinder and now the back drive shaft has just the perfect amount of play.

I just read this build from start to finish after, cmac, you referred me and I'm glad you did! It looks fantastic and has definitely motivated me to make my own Maxx
Keep up the good work

Aren't you using a 3908 tranny? As neil said above, they don't break, so nobody has made stronger gears for them.

You will break diffs, driveshafts or strip wheel hexes before you break a 3908 tranny, no matter how hard you bash.
