You mean the stock Traxxas axles (sliders) with the LST diffs? Yes that's what I ran for a long while. You need to take 4 extra Traxxas axles and cut the threaded part plus about 1 mm and replace the LST output cups with these modified Traxxas axles. The stock Traxxas sliders can fit on the LST diffs with no problem. Or you could get 4 of Monster Mikes 1/8 diff output shafts if you don't want to modify the Traxxas axles.

I don't understand your comment of ''building the bulkheads around the diffs''. Do you mean to modify the bulkheads to match the LST diffs? If that's the case, it is better to modify the diff casings to fit in the bulkheads. There's only one part of the case that can't be changed and that's where the front screws are. That is where the bulkheads need to be modified, just to make enough room for that front part of the diff case where the screws are. Very minimal material is taken off the bulkheads. If you try to fit the bulklheads around the diffs without modifying the diff cases, way too much material is taken off the bulkheads and they will break easily.


No brain, no headaches.
