I thought about this as well - even tried it once for an onroad setup. It's not something I can base my design around just in case it's not durable enough. However, it is a very interesting technique to look at for testing an optimized design of the suspension and driveline geometry once I have a backup system
So I guess I might start off with 'short' arms and try out longer ones later on with the geometry as intended.
As for the driveshaft lengths... The DEX410 shafts are 61mm (rear) and 77mm (front) - the DEX210 shafts are 65mm - the Xray XB4 rear shafts are 68mm I found out, so very interesting to look at. Lastly, the Tamiya DF03 shafts are 70mm, so together with DB01 axles that might work as well (though 70mm after a good look seems to be just slightly too long).
