| little help please?
ok, i was digging through my closet and found a body i want to use for a scale crawler....... the body is 7 1/4 inches wide and i dont want the tires sticking out more than an inch on each side..... what axles could i use? i want to use Imex Claw Dawg tires because they are 4 inches tal and i think this would look perfect on 4 inch tall tires........ would TLT axles with stampede wheels and the claw dawgs be 9 1/4 inches wide? i guess i could always narrow the tires and wheels some....... |

| TLT axles should work for you as long as you pick the right wheel and tire combo to keep it as close to 9 1/4". I currently have HPI Split 5 wheels and Proline Masher 2000 on mine. And without the wheel wideners mine measures 9 1/2". That should be similar to the Claw Dawg. Masher 2000's are just less than an inch taller. I've never tried Stampede wheels, but I think they have a larger offset than the HPI ones I am using. |

the front wheels and rear of the stampede are different. the rear ones offset go in deeper so its not wider and the fronts are pretty close to your HPI 5 spoke Starz.
