Yeah I found that out, but I'm not worried about it. After talking with Eric, nothing has changed on release. The pictures are exactly how they look currently. 3" circumference if anyone was wondering. So if the knuckles are in line with the shaft, I am very confident that it will have much better clearance on short shifters like the kartboy. I am for sure buying one, and will update everyone once I have my findings. This is gonna be an expensive swap lol, but worth it in the end. So I will have a very good condition DSS carbon fiber driveshaft for sale soon.

Yeah I forgot to update this post and posted in my build thread. It worked out very well and I have no issues with the Kartboy now. I am at this point however contemplating getting that IRP, not sure though. You can see the large difference in the knuckle sizes on the driveshafts. DSS on the left and Velox on the right.
