| Axle suggestions for narrow width.
Trying to decide what axles to use for a narrow crawler build. Total width from outside of tire to outside of tire I would like to keep down to 118mm max. I've thought about micros and extending them but they could be weak for the job as the intended body has a bit of weight to it. wheelbase is 168mm in case of interest. The tires will probably be thinner than a typical crawler and certainly thinner than Minirockcrawler or microrockcrawler types. Thanks in advance for any thoughts. |

I would suggest looking at TLT axles I am not sure what the exact measurement is on them but other than the losi mini axles they are the narrowest that I know of, and with a little bit of upgrading they are good solid axles.

Robbe axles might be what you're after or even some narrowed TLT/Semi axles or some custom Robbe axles..... http://www.neunet.de/rc-truck-trial/RCTT_Katalog.htm |

Just got the word back from the other prospect I had in mind. The narrowest they can go 'hub to hub outer' is 130mm. So realistically it does look like cutting down some Robbe's. |

Just read about Mini Qlo which appears to be 125mm wide. Or does this one suck? Cant find much about it. |
