That though is going from an LST2. If it's that simple with the Aftershock/LST 1 I can't say.
If you can track down the LST2 conversion kit for a deal, do it. Much beefier parts. Then convert to 17mm.
It's in any case definitely adviseable to convert to 17mm. 14mm is too small, and with 17mm you have way more tire/wheel options.
As for LST parts, ebay, forums, Facebook, etc. Just gotta' search.. Maybe even buy some used roller if you find a deal on one.
Go to the Monster Truck section and ask in some of the LST threads - even electric.
The Mach .26 was a good engine. Make sure you have the good pipe from the LST2 and a well-shimmed aluminum clutch.
So i ordered axles and went ahead and ordered the 17mm kit for lst2. Hoping it would fit. Turns out the lst2 apparentlly has bigger axles. It would be great to just run lst 2 axles. But what all would i need to run them is the question. I looked up wheels and can't find any 14mm wheels. Axial sells a 17mm wheel with a 14mm adapter, but honestly i'm afraid to order them because these axles will probably be to small or some bs. Gotta be a way
