Default Portal axle conversion

Looking to install some portal axles on my wraith 1.9. Is there any recommendations on how to go about doing this? Will the gearing be reversed in switching over to portals? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I too am looking at building a 1.9 wraith. Currently leaning KYX or Extra Speed steer axles front/rear or possibly TRX4 if I can get over the 2:1 reduction.

Just put trx4 axles under an scx based rig. The reduction (2.3:1) drove me to try a lower turn motor. Now I’ve had a few cheap steel driveshafts rattle to pieces. One with blue loctite, one with 567 loctite (plumber’s cement). Not sure whether to buy fancy tailshafts or go back to snail speed. The added clearance is great for the terrain here.
