Default need longer front shaft for extended chassis

I'm converting everything from my 2.5 Revo chassis to a 3.3 chassis and the front driveshaft is too short. Do I just need to get a longer driveshaft like I did when I put everything on my extended TMaxx chassis??

Yes you'll need the 3.3 shafts. And also longer seering arms too.

can you just use an outer drive shaft for the center shaft? that's what I did when I extended my maxx... I even used the stock stubby male splined end and just used the long female splined end... it's not like it extends or contracts...

When I did my T-Maxx I just used extra axle shafts I had and had to cut the female end a little and used that for the center.
