| wheel spacers???
i don't know what they would be called in the RC land.... but is there anything around that will allow me to space out my wheels on my emax to increase the wheel base??? maybe just bolt on before i bolt the wheel on, something like that. cheers |

Have you tried offset wheels like RPM clawz or Maximizer beadlocks?

great stuff thanks. don't want to swap from my kongs, but want to see how it drives with the wider stance. thought this would be an easy way to see. |

So how are the T-maxx shafts (the 4 driveshafts by the A-arms) handling the Kongs? I assume your running metal shafts? Have you snapped any?

so don't they wobble like mad? :? cant see how they 'lock' onto the shaft. the pin will only stop them spinning wont it? normally the wheel nut locks the whole mess up tight i thought. that been said, thats the idea of what i'm after. |

Im running LST rims/tires and also beadlocks (x75's with kongs) and the bolt that holds on the rims also bottoms on the spindle just enough to tension the whole assembly to keep it from wobbling. (it tensions the pin)
