Hi, I am currently putting together a custom Blitzer Beetle chassis / and my own version of a offroad beetle that I plan on having a lot of fun with. I still don't think anyone has actually done this. I am currently trying to attach SRB wheels and tires to the rear to my Blitzer Beetle chassis. The front were easy enough. The rears I was thinking of using a set of new release Frog drive cups and thorp wheelmonuts that are pinched on the drive cups. For the gear box i am going to use Frog gearbox drive cups (they fit perfectly! same spline on the blitzer and frog drive cup that goes in the gear box!) The biggest problem is getting a driveshafts that are long enough and that will fit the drive gear box drive cups and the wheel drive cups. I will have to take a couple pics so that you know what I am trying to do. Anyway the first step is that I need to see a Hotshot drive shaft to see if I could possibly use these to connect the gearbox of the Blitzer Beetle to the Frog Drive cups. So if anyone can put a pic of the front and rear drive shafts of a hotshot that would be appreciated.

Thanks OSR

Hi OSR

To look at they are just a standard dogbone. Not sure of length off the top of my head though. How long do you need it to be?

Well I definately need them to be at least as long as the stock Blitzer Beetle dog bones. So if you have seen those then you would have an idea of how long I need them to be. Listen I will measure one and get back to you. Can anyone help with a pic of a Hotshot dog bone??? And the length of it?
