no no..

Only the axle is`ext, You need axle and spacer. It does make it wider by 2cm or so. All comes as part 86249.

This is what finnster was referring to http://www.hpiracing.com/graphics/ki...IMG_9135_e.jpg
Seems like a weak way to do it to me, but if it works, then its a very cheap and light weight way to get some extra width.

The FLux uses the same arms as the XL, X, and SS apparently. I did a search, and so far, nobody makes a wider arrm set (I didnt look at the FLM stuff yet...)

Personally, I think I'm going to try some full offset rims.


Losi 8T 1.0, Savage Flux - XL style, LST XXL, Muggy, 3.3 E-Revo Conversion and sitting outside 425hp, 831 Tq Dodge Ram Turbo Diesel. It SMOKES

...yup same arms as the other Savages...

...have to agree that the XL axles DO look weak...

...you could also change to 8mm axles and use extended hexes there too...
