I didn't see any on RC4WD. But those others might do it. Thanks.

Cheap way may be to cut some aluminum or steel tubing to length, tap it and locktite a bolt in one end. Basically, make your own barrel nut. The size tubing depends on the diameter of the shaft it has to screw onto. |

Inside threads. And I am not sure on the length. I am interested in getting some hub extensions and really the only hold up is the barrel nuts. If I were to guess on the length I would have to say 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch. And I would be interested in making my own but would they be strong enough on a larger crawler? |

I made some out of a socket head screw. I just drilled the inner diameter, tapped and cut to length. I would be willing to do this as a service if interested. Here is a picture on the front axle. I am running wideners on the front end.  |

I could drill and tap a bolt if need be. To use a bolt wouldn't I have to remove the outer threads for a good fit?

You will also need to drill/tap pretty close to center so it does not offset your wheel. A lathe is ideal. | |
