|  scaler question
i finally decided i'm going to build a 1.9 scaler and just bought the k5 blazer body. but im clueless on what axles will be the right width for that body. its fine if the tires stick out a little but i don't want something where the whole tire will be on the outside of the body. thanks for the help |

Most axles will be a good fit under there. Tlt, axial, rc4wd d40, trex, the list goes on.. if you find that the set of axles you choose are a bit to wide or narrow you can always mess around with different offset wheels to make up the difference. just remember its easier to widen than it is to narrow in most cases.

| TLT axles More TLT axles Axial axles (yeah it's a pickup body but it's the same width as the Blazer) Another with Axial axles Hilux axles This one below is on Wheely King axles. |
