I'm on the fence about keeping this truck???Can the front track be made as wide as the rear?Also,can i make the truck flex more(or at all!)?Any help/advice would be great.

I guess you could make some spacers to adjust the track width , as far as flex there are some leaf springs that are made for it that really help , I have seen some on rc4wd and RPP that are plastic and they seem like they would help.

Add weight to the tires, if the spring packs come with the pin holding them together, grind the pin and play with the pack order by removing leafs. By adding a swing shackle to the rear you get additional droop witch equals flex

I don't have a bruiser but I do run leaf springs on my rigs so its just trial and error to get them to work good

Chino mod the leaf springs, and throw out all the leaf bushings and replace them with 12 gauge wire insulation.

The front track width can be widened to match the rear by putting a spacer on the front hubs.

Or, if you are looking to convert to 12mm you can buy the axle Cs from me and find someone to machine the rear axle.
