|  My Newborn---"Wideload MRC"
Came up with the name since everyone seems to be going with stock width.. you would be surprised how well it does for being WIDE... Went to my first comp over the weekend and had a blast.. Was up in Folsom and I cant say enough thanks to the crew from Nor-Cal RC. Just wanted to provide some pics of the new born and her progress. Last pics are of some setup.. Since last pics I have installed 60mm Axial arms for chassis braces. Axial front servo plate with Hitec 645 along with Alum horn. Losi Blue Compound Basher Tires.. Castle Creations BEC... Pics are not in any order so sorry    |

I've been running 3/4" wideners on my mini for about 3 months, I think I was the first to try them...  Mine does great with them |

It takes away from your steering a bit but I did a little trimming and it's back to close to what it was.....

The tires you have on there now vs. the stock ones that come on the MRC... Your opinion? |

looks cool man, I got some of the 3/4" wideners for my 2.2 and ended up getting hung up on the pumpkin everywhere, so they have been sitting in my toolbox sence. I think I will test them out on my mini as well and thanks for the tip on sterring kenny, I will have to get that cut off wheel ready.

I have seen people decimated in local comps because of wideners. BUT because the mini is so small I am eager to install and try them out. When I run my mini in difficult technical sections I do flip sideways often and I know wideners help with transitions, so I'm going for it. If they suck I'll take em off. | |

Yea the ax10 has a huge pupmkin, I guess so does the tlt and other similer axles, I dont own those so I couldent say for sure, but these little losi axles are ultra small I think the wideners would realy help, I realy like these axles and cant wait till they sell them separate, they will sell like hotcakes for scaler people.

There is a guy on Ebay selling MRC axles for $100 buy it now....he has sold a few like that, that I have seen. Don't know how he is doing it unless he is buying kits and parting them out?

| widener shaving?
I am going to get a set of the g-made wideners and have read what you guys are saying about shaving some off to enhance steering but I'm confused. Where are you shaving with the dremmel? Do you have any pics?  |

[Originally Posted by Wible90 Hey I'm looking into getting the TLT wideners for my MRC. Just curious, what exactly do you have to ''shave off'' or dremel down to get better steering? Thanks, Trey] Tattoo Kenny: Recess the screws in the C's to sit lower into them and shave the steering arms on the knuckles to get a little more out of them | |
