| Scratch build truck ideas?
Since the SMT10 is out for now the only contenders in the 1/10 2S category are the new CEN that isn't out and the MST MTX-1 and both of which use narrow axles and seem to be more 1/12 like than 1/10. I want about a 13" WB and brushless. Can I use one of my scale trucks and just put 1" hex wideners on each side? I do like the ladder chassis look better for an MT.

You think the stock axles would be ok with 1" extenders on each side?

Ya, I figured that too. Too bad there arent any decent 12mm hex axles that are kind of wide.

There are. Ive got 2 sets of 12mmx28mm hexes. They make my m/t wide enuf to not rub, but my wheel are so thick they stripped one out. Got a different style n the nut piece wasnt long enuf. So im runnin 12mmx14mm extensions n the only rubbin i have is on the lower links at full throw https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F192899358415 https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F332376124380 Pic is the 12mm x 14mm Sent from my SM-J327VPP using Tapatalk |

I mean entire axles. Kind of like the AR60s but from someone else since those werent that great and are pulling high money because there is no other wide ones.

Maybe? Axles oops, I meant to link this page, specifically to show their axle tube spacer setup: http://www.freestyle-rc.com/axles.html I'm not having luck finding their hex-to-hex width though, maybe someone else can chime in. Last edited by TheLetterJ; 06-02-2019 at 11:55 PM. |

Well, I am still wanting to build a truck and all the AR60s for sale are locked diffs. This has been quite a challenge. I wish Axial would just release a new variant of the damn thing.
