Just found this thread, it seems to work..

I forgot to mention..Here is my SC10 converted to a SCB
I wanted a 1/8 2wd buggy and now I have it
, so it would make sense to install 1/8 wheels too

can anyone tell me if the MIP09134 ball diff gear is a direct replacement for the factory team sc10 ball diff gear? (NOTE GEAR ONLY) I'm just looking for a stronger gear then factory, but cant find any information if the MIP gear is a direct bolt in to the stock diff...without replacing the entire unit with the MIP set up

From the feedback I read the handling is better with buggy wheels, that's the only thing that counts for me
I want to use my SCB on a 1/8 scale track. But more than the added weight I care more about having too much slop with the hex conversion. I checked the reviews on amain about the STRC conversion and they are not good, no idea about the AKA kit

I have seen all sorts of parts break on the SC10. Saw 2 chassis break tonight, one at the front and one at the rear. I have broke rear axles, rear drive pins, both front and rear arms, rear chassis plate, Shock bolts, front c-hubs, Steering bellcranks and inner rear ball stud. I am wondering if you got a bad batch of axles. Were all of them bought from the same place(a-main/LHS)? I have bought 4 sets of front axles and have never had a problem with any of them. I have ran both the plastic AE hexes and the clamping JC hexes. What wheels are you running? I have only run regular offset. Are you running the +3 rims? Hate to see you switch brands over this.
In my opinion the truck is 3mm too narrow so if I can't figure it out, I will be forced to get something else. I run indoor, tacky clay track and I traction roll like a mother. I have to really drive slow with stock offset wheels. No fun at all.

Drive shaft problems? Try these...I have had no problems with these upgrade axles.

They're talking about the front hex axle. But I've been eyeing the STRC rear universals as well. I've been running MIP for a while now and the drive pins eventually get sloppy and slip out. There's not much you can do about that from what I've seen. A firmer press fit would be better.

when my axle broke, the hex was not tightened. the screw was stripped out. so i think the bad hex was my issue. i use nylon hex nuts and never crank on them. i know people that use the serrated flanged like to crank them down.

I don't tighten my nuts any more than I do when I run the solid axle with bearing wheels. Plus the rear axle is the same diameter so there's gotta be something wrong with the materials on the front axles.
