This one uses HPI wheely king axles

This one uses Tamiya TLT-1 axles with wideners.

Axial ax10 axles are a little narrower than wheely king ones and a little wider than tlt-1 ones(without wideners).
RC4wd also makes good axles.

I've seen the ax10's transmission used in a 1/6 jeep successfully, but you'd want the upgrade steel output shafts(the stock aluminum ones would probably snap off immediately under the load of a 1/6 truck).
BTW, welcome to the cars and trucks section.

Thanks for the information I will look through this latter, I want to build the vehicle stock with standard size tyres, WWII style is more my inspiration as opposed to anything else
