Yes, you'd need a few custom made parts but there is surely a way.
A bigger question would be why.. the larger diameter would wreck the appearance of the car and raise the ride height to a point where the handling would be very bad. Unless you use foams the RWD chassis would not work well with rubbers and you would be spinning a lot. And the rollout would be extended a lot meaning you might struggle to get the right gearing.
I personally wouldn't bother!

Ah, got it. Is the wheel drive the same as the V12? A V12 to 12mm hex adapter wouldn't be a difficult thing to make, if if isn't already available somewhere.

Get yourself some f103GT parts the diff will drop straight in and runs hex drives. The front axles are less of an issue because there's no drive so you can drill out the centre of the tc wheels to fit over the v10 front axles.

going to order some 1/8th stock car foams for it as they are the right size for now then figure out what to buy and if i want to fork out for it.
