Welcome to the site!

You want to get rid of the stock Ascender axles?

No, I was just making sure you want to switch out the Ascender axles. I've never done it, but if you put different axles underneath this chassis you may have to make links or get them made to custom lengths.

Vanquish did have awesome, metal housings, for the Vaterra internals, but I'm not sure if they still do.

Probably. That's going to take some experimentation unless somebody else has done it.

Yeah I haven't seen anyone do it yet but thought it would be a good upgrade for the 72 Suburban, thanks
