old 1/4 axle to newer 3/16 axle swap
so im dusting off my old rc10gt and i started to buy new parts for it. i ordered some proline tires and some new rims only to find out that the rims wont fit cause of the old 1/4 axles. my question is, is there an adapter for this? or can i swap out the axles? if so can you provide me with a link or any info on how to find what i need? anything will help!

Are you using dogbones or universals? If dogbones, the conversion kit that associated makes for the rere would be perfect. Associated 6802

Don't forget 4 bearings as well. I think they would be 3/8 x 3/16 x 1/8. You can get them from acer or protech/amain.
I know this is obvious but it would be one of those doh moments when you realize you forgot to make that change as well.
