I just used some plastic ones from taraxacum when I did my vp chubs and knuckles. I wanted to try the plastic ones before I bought the aluminum ones, but haven't found a reason to replace them yet. I believe they're around 8-10mm. I didn't measure. They work great and were cheap.

why not just shorten the axles a bit...I presume you are talking about the threaded portion sticking out too far. I had the same issue with my axial universals that did this and I just ground down the ends a bit and it is fine now. I still have plenty of threads for the nut to hold on to...

just figured if something comes up down the road, ide rather have the thread.. and a little wider stance wouldn't hurt anything either  |
