If you use the Borrego 17mm wheels on the M2C 17mm adapters on the SCT stub axles, then it'll still be normal SCT legal width.
The key is that you need to switch to the SCT stub axles and a hex for those, rather than using the SL stub axles.
As for just adjusting hinge pins, you can move those a couple mm, but the difference of a normal SCT hex location to an SL hex location is about 8-10mm wider per side if I remember correctly.
Gotcha. My mind was elsewhere on that. I assumed the SL had the same stub axles as the ebuggy\truggy and the hex was flush to the hub. (I've never touched an SL)
The images that Cain shared below made me realize my error in thinking. I didn't realize how far out they pushed the hex.
Can you not just put the EB Hex's on the SL axle? Or is the axle different thickness?
