| Best way to widen the wheel track?
I have been looking and searching and have come up with a few options but I wanted to talk to those who have already been down this road for more options. I have a stock Honcho with Axial 8 hole beadlocks in 1.9. I want to widen the track width about 1/2" total...meaning 1/4" each side without getting new wheels. Government doesn't pay me enough. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! |

Either wider hexes, as was mentioned, or slw hubs on the plastic beadlocks. Functional durability upgrade and adjustable.

I have a set of the traxxas hubs, only gave me a 1/4" overall. Meat, tell me more about mounting the SLW hubs to the plastic wheels, will I have to machine the surface for the hub holes or is there a wheel you are thinking about? 1.9" wheels |

Quote: They got you covered The axial stock plastic beadlocks are only weak in the hex dept, never really had an issue with them pulling a bead. And mthead has a nice selection of rings for customization. | ||

I suppose it's worth considering if I only use the Tubes as the extension and not the hubs and knuckles. I don't want it TCC illegal with wild mods. Even still, I would need new axle shafts..... |

The traxxas hexes were perfect for me. Put the tires even with the fender flares.
