MST swing shafts - compatibility with Tamiya

[Honza]

For my rally project, I need some wide angle driveshafts for the front axle - I found MST wide angle universals, which seem to be quite similar to the Tamiya ones. Is there someone who owns an MST, who could measure or test, whether they can be combined with Tamiya CVDs and/or crossjoints? Thanks for help

I just finished building an MST CMX (crawler) chassis. Not sure if it has the same universals you're referring to? And to which Tamiya parts should they be fitted?

Do you have the part number? I had just built a TCR-M and can measure that for you.

@Tamiyastef I meant onroad universals, sorry, I didn't realise that MST makes offroad models, too

@alvinlwh I'm looking at 820005, but I think that TCRs will be mostly the same, apart from length, so it'd help me, too

@Honza No reason to apologise. I was just asking to be sure.

Oh, sorry, don't have that part. Mine is 820138.

Would you measure it anyway please? I guess that most of the dimensions will be similar, only difference being maximum angle and overall length, which is specified by the product info - so your input would help me.a lot
