Add about 6 oz. per wheel which is a half 0z strip. Get the narrows so that it turns sharper and fits through gates easier.

did you get the narrow??? can the hitec 645 servo handle that much weight???

I don't have mayhem wheels but i've seen narrow wheels work really well. The 645 is a very basic servo for crawling but it should be able to handle it but you will lose torque.

im just worried about the track width being too narrow

[rc4x4crawler]

What does mayhem say the width is on them?

[Mr.Cool]

the narrow track width is 10 1/4

Try narrow offset only in the rear. It will still help your turning radius, help it get through gates since its usaully the rear thats the problem, but still let you keep your off camber stability.

ok so wide in the front and narrrow in the rear??? is that wut u run??? i just want to make sure im getting the right thing because this is such a big investment

Oh, are the wheels going on a berg or wk? Because I dont think the narrow offset would make your track width wider than stock on a Axial.

Well that just makes it harder to fit through gates. Regular axial offset in front and narrow rear. The problem is that you have to buy different rims.

I run Vanquish Revolvers in the front, Fully loaded, and Comp Heavy delrin Berg Offset in the rear.(Avatar isnt updated.) Which gives me a 10" track width front, and 9 1/2" in the rear.

[Mr.Cool]

so a 10 1/4 track width is fine? wut is the stock trackwidth of an ax10

Not really. An ax10 width is 10 stock. You want to atleast get to that.

Good idea. You won't regret that.

wait never mind, ENZLOW got the wide offset and he said they are only 1/8 inch wider on each side and he loves them, thanks
