FrankyRizzo, is 10mm enough. We were thinking to do about 20mm?

rc4x4nut, the scale 1/10 scale axle is already in production, should be available mid or November. We are still working on the 1/16 scale axle design, no real solid ETA yet.

20mm is almost an inch. I am afraid that would put weight higher up. I personally have not had a real big issue with actual axle clearance. I think a way to get a tummy tuck and break over on a TLT is more key for me.

You are talking about the TLT axles right?

How much additional clearance can you add, and still have the portal fit inside the most popular 2.2 rims?

It sounds all good. If the Portal can't fit inside the wheel. Whats the point. Then the portal is sticking out like a sore thumb and hitting rocks.

what if you use the wheels off of the new rustler/pede would that give you a little bit more clearance right?
