Default Poll: Straight axle or stock for basher with 12.5" WB?

Just got my HPI WK Crawler conversion kit and am in the process of changing my WK crawler to a basher with stock tires/wheels and open diffs. THe RC4WD straight axle adpaters do not seem to fit quite as snuggly over the axle housing ends as the stock peices do (they also will wiggle a tiny bit up and down (but not fore/aft) and since they are metal they do not have any flex in case of crashers, rollovers and all.

So.........should I keep the RC4WD straight axle adapters on it or put the stock knuckles, rear steer lockout etc on it, or make a suggestion.........for my basher with 12.5" WB?

For a basher, I'd use the stock knuckles. I still use the OEM rear steer lockout on my WK...I'd rather have stuff flexing than breaking.
