Ya it works, but not as well as the stock plastic ones in my opinion, & its a lotta trouble. Maybe if you don't use the losi xxx-nt aluminum rear hubs and just use the xtm stock ones, it'd be easier, but I don't know. I used the losi xxx-nt aluminum rear hubs and I had a lotta trouble trying to get the rear wheels to spin right. It's your decision, but stock plastic drives better and faster in my opinion. Even if you bought the xtm aluminum parts, the other parts not aluminum can still break like the rear a-arm mount.
