The adjustable axles?Yep. I noticed the stub axles were cheap again so I grabbed two sets. Put on some other wheels I had and am back up and running.

The adjustable axles?
what did you for the hub areaI forgot I ordered these adjustable length axles before I went out of town and they were here when I got back. Since the only axle the right length seems discontinued this may be the only way. The plan was if they don't work as-is to chop a normal dogbone and make it adjustable. It can even have two different sized balls. My front stock diff is still holding up but probably because it pops an axle at the u-joint every time I drive it so I've wanted to figure something out for it. Been busy with a new micro crawler but when I get a chance to play with this I'll post if it works.
Got them here.

Could have sworn I copied this into this post. But this is what he had to say.
Here's two of them for ya:

Remember the price shown is in British pounds not dollars. I dont know if they ship to the states, but Apex Models shipped them to me back when I ordered them and they accept Paypal. I used the Carisma diffs with with Hot Racing Steel CVDs # SECE288 and for the spur gears # SECE558, SECE560, or SECE562 (58,60,or 62 tooth). It all fit-up perfect and really beefed up that little truck!
vaterra diff works for both. a557 is fine for both axles. You will need some shims and new wheel hex / nuts. For rear dogbone, the sportswerks ones mentioned work fine. For front you can:
1. Find a discontinued a552 set, and modify one ball end to reduce the size
2. Build a franken-bone retaining the stock wheel nut / hex / axle and half of a dogbone
3. Find a dogbone that actually fits and tell me about it so I can order it too.
I was just wondering if there are anymore updates regarding this topic
