You could. You would need a 4mm sleeve that goes over the axle, then you'd need to drill a 4mm pin hole for the 24mm hub pins. The 24mm Baja hub is a through the hub design with the pin, so the current pin hole is too close to the hub. See my Savage 5T thread for what I did with the Savage XL axles, something very similiar would need to be done.

Well there are 24mm hubs for the Savage X from HPI (http://www.hpiracing.com/press/102530.html) that are better than any of the junky 23mm hubs out there (ProLine and Integy are the only ones I've found and been able to get ahold of for the Savage axle; but didn't the Losi monster trucks start using 23mm hubs? So maybe you'll have better luck with that!). Dunno if they will fit without issue on the Losi axles. My big issue with the Savage axles was that the pin hole is right next to where the threads start and its a weak point that kept breaking.
