Default LOW CG CHASSIS SHAFT PROBLEM

Hey i just put this low cg extended chassis on my savage xss and was having bother trying to get the throttle rod to reach,
as the gearbox is further back,

i spent most of the morning rigging this up and then i took it out for a run,

after less than half a tank i noticed the gear mesh was a little tight so while adjusting this i saw that the alloy rear shaft
that come with the chassis had some sort of colour change at one end i took it apart and saw that it was twisted,

so now i need a new shaft,
the only trouble is that because the gearbox is further back the savage xl shaft wont do as a replacement

i need a steel shaft that measures about 105mm and ive no idea what truck has this length of drive shaft [sm=confused.gif]

any help would be very much appreciated thanks
