| My scx10 jk build
So I got my scx10 jk the other day and I'm trying to figure out how to go about the build. So far I used axle extensions from my slash trophy truck build and made it a little wider. Ill post some pictures when I figure that out.

Will they really wear out that fast? Is there another way to widen my stance?

Wraith axles will widen it like an inch or so.

Wraith axles look way to wide. I wanna go scale, am I doomed to go big or go home?

| Re: My scx10 jk build I say order a set of fast eddie bearings and use what you got or get a large offset wheel like you do in 1:1. The last option is to get a set of vanquish slws and 475 offset hubs. Btw the way you located in VA?

So I was looking at those OMF wheels from vanquish and is it really like $70 a wheel?

Well it's gonna have to wait till the 15th. So I'm looking at getting the rigid 6" light bar for the front then solid links and a 4 link for the front. Any ideas on a company for links?

You could make your own or just get the 10pc set from vanquish. That way you can get steering links also. RPP BEST company out there go there, go to scx10 hop ups your mind will be blown. Get the 4link mount (what ever looks good) and links(vanquish) from them. In the upper right hand corner click coupons and use them.

No because the wheel is attached where the stock hex location is. By attaching it to a hex widener like the original guy posted, you are putting the contact point/strain an additional inch out from the stock hex location | |

Wideners, even the VP ones, still put more strain on the bearings as you are moving the entire wheel/tire out, which puts more leverage out past the bearings. They both accomplish the same thing.
