Question 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.....

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.
