Default T-maxx Front and Rear Center CVD Steel

I ordered the HPI and Revo parts for the rear center steel driveshaft conversion and I would also like to update the front center to stell as well. I have a 4908 model.

Any help or suggestions is appreciated. I was told to stay way from Integy and MIP so What other options do i have to also make it steel?


Thanks
