So the 17mm hubs dont need crazy off set, which jacks up bearings

i think the idea is that with doing the widening mod, you can use the 17mm adapters from new era. and have stronger arms in the process.

it does seem thought that this mod could cost as much as mikes extentions kit

Not nearly as much. And the arms are plastic, IMO I want my truggy to have plastic arms. The mod will cost alot more upfront to do, but once its done, its done, and arms are like 7 bucks for a 4 pack, c hubs are a few bucks ETC... Parts are alot stronger where Mikes arms still use the stock hubs and knuckles which would be a major week spot from what I found on my old .5

I will post a list of the needed parts when im done, but it will be fairly cheap, im not trying to make it insanely cheap, if thats wanted then use the stock set up, im just doing something for me being cheaper. If you like it, sweet, if not, then thats cool, just putting something else out there for people to try. Trying to give my part of time and money to do something cool like everyone else does testing parts, I just dont have any cash

No no, I didnt take it that way, Just trying to explain my reason behind the mod. I know most people would rather buy a kit, and bolt it on.

I think half the fun is messing with my car, if it turns out to be more money then I expected, at least its done, and other people can do the mod if the feel like it
