I haven't actually seen the real SCTE axles yet, but I'm wondering if something like this would work to get the 17mm hex for 1/8 wheels and keep it legal width.

The Ten has 5mm axles with larger hexes. (I don't know the size )
SCTE has 4mm axles with 12mm hexes
810 has offset axles with 17mm hexes.
I think that is a good general description. Ryan will correct me if I am wrong.

Those will have too much offset I think(assuming I am looking at them right).

The portion that the nut threads onto is a 4mm nut. The axle size is larger than that though. We wanted to keep the industry standard nut on this vehicle. Same nut as the 22 and the traxxas cars and kyosho cars, etc...

Anyway.... I'll never know cuz I have no interest in 17mm wheels for this car. just trying help figure it out.
Does the 810 and ten t have 5mm axles? Does the scte and ten t have the pin in the same location? I just don't want to buy a bunch of diff parts to do the conversion lol. So far it looks like ten t axles and 810 hubs ( like some one previously said) but I will have to mill down the back of the hubs to get the width and also to align the pins that secure the hubs to the stub axles. I do r&d for a living so I like to tinker with stuff. Thanks very much

The SCTE has funny looking turned down axles. Looks like the are probably turned down to 6mm where the hex fits over the cross pin.

I doubt that's where the traxxas axles are breaking
it won't be a durability problem on the Losi

I will keep my Slash 4X4 as my back-up but most likely she'll be a shelf queen. I rarely sell my rigs. I always maintain them ready to go.

No the axles are all different. Read my post closely. I listed all the axle stub part numbers. I have not tried SC8 rims, but those are what I would use with a 17mm conversion. I run standard 1/8 buggy rims/tires so I can share them between vehicles.

this RC appears to have pretty decent mud guards on the front of the chassis (just behind the front wheels)
does that pretty much make an overtray un-needed?
just curious how the mud guards work, the other SC 4x4 i'm considering doesn't seem to have guards on the front of the chassis like the losi

Why do all you guys want to run 1/8 scale wheels on your trucks? Is that legal where you race? I haven't checked recently, but they aren't ROAR legal and I'm pretty sure my track makes you run SC tires and wheels in all but the mod 2wd sct class.
Besides, there is nothing uglier than 1/8 scale wheels on a SC truck.
Just my two cents, but obviously if you're bashing or your track allows any wheels, have at it. I do wish all tracks would require SC tires. It just looks better, more to scale and if everyone has to run them then there is no advantage.
