Default Switch from hex to pin?

Can I switch my stock axles from hex drive to pin? I want to tuck my tires under my truck, but I still plan on wheeling it so I don't want to use MRC axles. SDI makes pin drive wheels with -3 off set that will get me the look I'm going for. I can't find anything on converting my stock axles to pins, any help is much appreciated

Take the hexes off...it's now pin drive tah-dah! Just stick some wheels with pin drive hubs on there like RC4WD 1.9 Steelies.

I've tried that, but the rear wheels seem to "wobble" and have not seated on the pins correctly. Anyone else have that issue?

Not all hub/ pin combinations are the same. You don't want a small diameter pin used with a drive hub recess that's too loose.
I've always done fine with RC4WD pin hubs and stock AX10 /SCX10 pins.

Haven't had time with work to mess with it. Hoping to take a look at it today. Without the hexes it sure does suck in the tires into wheelwells nicely.
