I run KBF shafts on all my trucks, they widen it just enough IMO. I cant say I have ever broke run, and I have had them on some pretty heavy rigs where I have bound up the wheels pretty good. One thing youll definitely need to do, is shave them down, otherwise installing them as is, will greatly limited the amount of steering you have. Mike |

the part where the axle slides into it, like the cup part, you need to hit on the grinder and knock off a mm or 2... I can get you some pics, but I dont have any right now. Mike |

Has anyone ever tried these axles? I have a set on my HPI MT. I just got a TLT the other day and have no experience with them. Seen that people are using these black foot axles as wideners. Is the black foot axle 5mm? If so then this HPI axle should work too. It's 5mmx40mm which is the same length as the black foot axle. http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXM659&P=7 |
