Default A few losi Mc4x4 Trail Trekker parts are llisted on losi.com

the parts to make the axles wider still aren't listed yet
so far its the mounted wheel and tire, bare wheel,wheel weights, bare scale tires,bent links, chassis plate,and longer drive shafts









The wheels look the same as before and I believe i read they will work with the older wheels. the weights are 6.99 though

sweet.

I think the wheels for the TT have a different offset, therefore being wider?

that or the plastic hexes for the TT are different.

either way, those the DS's and the weights are gonna be great!

I think the weights are nice but There are cheaper ways to add wheel weight.
the width increase is from wider hexes and axle shafts
the tires are a pretty good deal for $6.99 for 4. they looks similar to the RC4wd tires though the picture makes it look like the tread isn't as deep.

I really want to get the longer axle shafts and hexes. that with a wheel widener kit could make for some wide rigs

The wheels are the same, the stub axles and wheels hexes are longer. The overall width is 3mm wider per side.

So with the O.G. micro axles, and some barrel nuts,

AND the new TT wheel hexes, we can widen the original axles.


A set of barrel nuts seem a lot cheaper than $11 or $30 for a set of wheel wideners.

true!
but people pay $10 for delrin and $26 for aluminum extensions now. and those are just wide hex extensions with barrel nuts like you said.
depending on the price Id like to have a set of longer axle shafts with thicker hexes. they should also work with the available extension kits making for some pretty wide axles. just the thing for some of those 1/18 builds
and if you already have the axles they are cheaper than the Micro Trex from Rc4WD

I wonder if the longer driveshafts would work on the TMC kits?
