More boring pictures- the big reveal of my cunning plan:













So, what we just saw were some Integy ( oh, God, no, noooooo.... ) SuperClodbuster stub axles; whats so cool about these is that they use a cross pin like 99% of other axles use to retain the wheel hex, rather than the annoying spline with matching splined 12mm hex ( they also use a M5 wheel nut vs the stock M4 size = beefy ). With the cross pin design I was now able to use pretty much any wheel widener or axle extension on the market designed for maxx or revo type axles; I found some nice ones from BoomRacing on ebay that give 1.5" of extra width per axle- only ~7mm shorter than my existing weak & sloppy setup. These new extensions are 7075 aluminium and fit the stub axle perfectly- zero slop in any direction pretty much.

I've removed the body posts from up top, but I still need to figure out new mounting locations on the tvps- the only points suitable really are either too low or too close together, so a bit more epic custom-fab work may be required
