You dont (NEED) wideners for most wheels as long as you dont mind youre tires rubbing links and shocks it also depends if you narrow the back bead or not ,the ofna will work with no mods. If its budget youre after go with the duratrax maximumST and narrow the inner bead. Ooorrrrr... search and see what other guys have done.

| TLT wheel spacers
I know they are out there and I have one TLT-1 with them (they are like maybe 3/4") but I have no idea of finding out who's they are. Spent some time searching around here and with google with no way to find out the info I need. Anybody hear of such a thing or am I just blindlingly passing right over the info?

If you are cheap like me you can do the King Black Foot half shaft trick. Works well for me. Mike |

I'm using Blackfoot axles as well and would highly recommend them. I'm sure it doesn't make a difference (except in my mind), but I like having the extra width as a result of the axle itself as opposed to adding spacers or using wheels like the Ofnas. Like I said, there's probably no difference at all, but in my mind it's justifiable.

I have the Blackfoot setup on mine and there have been no issues and I'm using the AE beadlock rims. Lots of alternatives to choose from.

Thanks bender. I am going to order a set of those and put them on my sons rig. His doesn't need that much width (he just tore the driver front knuckle mounts off his housing---whoops) |

Bender, how are you keeping them tight? They loosen up after every hard run for me. I'm using the lockwashers. | |

I've never had a problem with mine coming loose, maybe try a drop of blue Loc-tite.
