I'll have to redo them when I switch to the Howler Battery & Electronic Tray.
Or..
Thinking of the SSD Transmission/Transfer case front motor mount.

Those bodies are super rare. I have one of each size, unpainted. I'm keeping a close eye on this build because I'll eventually build one to mimic the one I had back in the day. I was thinking about using mrc axles. If you mock then up, they look about right width wise.

I actually am lucky enough to have 2 of the descenders still new in package, they are extremely hard to find.

Not a bad idea but still a bit narrow. It would be like using Samuria Axles
on a 1:1. 6"inchs to narrow but could work with spacers..

LOL..

I didn't even notice your Type O.
Guess i knew what you were asking..
Must be a licensing issue with Suzuki for not being Remade..
I'd love to have a couple of spares.. Soo many ideas.
I have a dozen 1/24 models of the Suzuki SideKick.
One being built like mine.
hardtop lifted
Full Covertible
and Lowered.

Soo.
I got this Big Beautiful SSD Trans and Transfer case from RPP (Dang those sales)
It runs almost a 6 to 1 ratio.
One turn for the tail shaft and 6 turns for the Spur gear. (spur Gear?)


I figured out how to set Gear mesh but not how to take it apart and inspect
for Grease..
I started with removing the T-Case cover but the gear shaft doesn't
come out.. maybe there is a bur on the shaft not letting the first shaft and gears
to come out?
Or Maybe it's just me.. My First Trans Combo unit.
What motor to run with it since there is No slipper Clutch?
I'm thinking 55T..

Only downside is the T-Case drops on the wrong side for a Zuk..

Well....
SSD trans combo not gonna fit. even with CMS..
I had to shorten the front of the Frame a 1/2"inch to get the bumper closer..
Still thinking.....
Changing bumper might help...

Hooking up camera to a Mount that will turn with the steering Servo.
