I mean these:

I think you may call them by a different name, Tower Hobbies has them listed as 'wheel axle'...anyhow, I fitted Axial hubs and wheels to my CR-01 but now the thread does not reach the nylon in the locking nut. The stock axles are listed as being 32mm long on Tower so ideally I would be looking for some around 36mm.

I'm a crawling noob and I'm not sure if these parts are all of a similar dimension.

Thank you for your help,
Steve.

I am not sure if the sizes are the same but the Integy kit mite fit.

I found some info on Tamiyaclub.com for future reference:

If you need more length (or just some extra thread for your lock nuts) then use one of the following:

will add extra thread of +3mm each side, use the TG10 rear axles (50808 )

will increase track width by+7mm each side over stock, use SuperBlackfoot / Mudblaster axles (9805391)

I'm not positive about the CR-01 axles, but compared to the TLT axles, the TG-10 rears have the same cup to hex pin spacing, but have a lot more threads. The Blackfoots have a greater distance between the cup and the hex pin. You need to use small bushings to fill the space between the outer bearing and the hex pin.

The Blackfoots will widen your track width. The TG-10s will give you more threads.

And now I wonder if the TG-10s are actually wider than the CR-01...

From what I've read the TG10 fronts are 35mm, the same as the CR-01. The TG10 rear axles, however, are 38mm (Tower confirms this length) so these are the ones I was planning to use.

I bought a set of xspedes from www.hobbyetc.com for $35, but they arn't quite the same thing. Its a wide wheel adapter, 10mm to 20mm, and it works great. Part number is TAM010EX.

Have you looked at the TXT from Tamiya. Pretty sure they are the same physically except maybe a little longer. I will checktonight when I get home.

I ended up buying the TG-10 long rear axles and they were a perfect fit, they give me about 2mm thread sticking past the end of the flange nut.
