i am making my mrc into a 1/10 scale land cruiser. but the axles are way to skinny in width so how would i be able to widen the axles just like 3/4 of an inch?? thanks for the help |

If u use the G-made wideners it adds 1". I used the hot racing ones witch added about 3/8". I saw yesterday that Dark Soul had some wheels with different for scale rigs. http://www.darksoulracing.com/Crawler_Wheels.html they are a little spendy but very nice hope this helps |

I have the same problem. you could try using deep offset wheels. for example, the integy/topcad wheels come with 0/5/10mm adapters. if you use the 10mm adapters you gain 20mm, or about 0.78" (a bit over 3/4"). you could use the 5mm adapters and be just under 3/4" and get nice tuck in the arches...

TCS sells a widener kit in their MRC section that adds an inch total. On top of that, there is a vendor in the tires and wheels section (Create a crawler I think) that sells adustable offset scale rims. You could do both and get really close to where you want to be.
