Hey thanks guys... The clod axles work real well and the mashers hook up like a mutha...

The chassis is just my original crawler re-purposed for a 2.2.

Here are some nakid pics:

Clod hex= 12mm
The wheels he has have a 12mm hex.

Are you running foams in your mashers?

I dont think he did. The bronco body is a very wide body. A lot wider than most bodies at least. (8in. wide)

You will need wheels designed for the rear of an electric stampede or rustler.
Here are what Tower has:

The Rustler/Stampede wheels have the correct backspacing and offset to clear the knuckles. I found that I needed a washer under the wheel nut to be sure it tightens the wheel really good.

No narrowing needed, like The Kid said, the Bronco body is wide enough to make it look right, I bet an HPI Rubi body would look good too. Hmmmm....

It really does look good Pinchy, I like the Hot Rod style blackout hood. I wish it had chrome wheels though? Caint wait to get started on mine.

Zombie inspired me
I decided to dedicate a couple of clod axles to a 2.2 rig.
What rims are yours?

I was thinking about these or some HPI super star wheels.
I have some big problems to see them here in person. Can someone help me and tell me which one have the less offset (I mean the narrow profile on clods axles)?

Thanks
