Rear hub carriers with 12mm OD inner bearing

I feel like I've been searching everywhere with no luck so far.
I am looking for rear hub carriers that will fit OD 12mm (or13mm) bearings on the inside, facing the transmission. Icing on the cake would be if they also had 1° - 3° toe in, but that is a nice to have at this stage. 13mm is the absolut MAX diameter possible, I cannot use any of the 10x15mm bearigs that many of the modern cars have.
I really do not care what brand they are even HSP or WLTOYS or whatever.
Thanks in advance, Tony

RPM made some for the B/T4 and SCT that used 1/2" bearings, which are only slightly under 13mm.
If 11mm would work, you have Traxxas options.

Thanks for the info!
I am trying to avoid the open up the carriers, but I either have to turn a universal shaft from 8 to 7mm, or have to open up a hub carrier from 1/2 inch (12.7mm) to 13 or a Traxxas 11mm to 12mm, which will be the most feasible option since:
A) I have the Traxxas parts
B) Traxxas Parts are cheap
I'll see what I do

Take a part fitting most of the requirement, draw it in cad, amend it to make it fit your full requirement, and get it 3Dprinted in Nylon.
That a solution that works great, and give you the ability to do whatever you want...
