Few questions for Maxx owners out there;

Want to get the Tekno RC axle carriers. I will be using the Traxxas CVD's. Are these a direct fit? Do I need to purchase the Tekno RC carriers with the 17mm adapters or just the axle carriers themselves? My truck is an EMBE and comes standard with 17mm adapters but I thought I read some where you need 8mm stubs so the Traxxas CVD's aren't a direct without the 8mm stubs?

Shocks I have heard good things about UE Supershocks.
