Default BOM with 10-2 axles/trans?

Hello, G-Made crew. As the title says, I'd like to convert the BOM to Axial 10-2 axles and trans. The plan is to use the existing chassis rails/crossmembers and keep the cantilever setup if possible. The goal is to get front overdrive and rear steer. Thoughts? Suggestions? Tips? Thanks for reading this far.

I thought it might be a fun build. The truck was barely used as is, and decided to try and revamp it rather than buying another rig for this summer. I have no axles on hand that can do rear steer, but other than that I should be ok.

BOM axles are wider than SCX10's. About 15-20mm IIRC. Will still work fine, just something to keep in mind.

Thanks for the tip, every little bit helps. It looks as though I'll have to lose the cantilever setup in order to do rear steer. Unless I get super creative and have a remotely located servo and linkage.
