Wheelbase

Hi guys. I have the hpi 17mm hub conversion on 2 of my trucks 1 truck I run badlands on desperadoes 1/2 inch of set, great setup. on the other I run dirtbonz on warlocks 0 off set.
I tried a set of losi 2mm hubs but not much difference over the stock hubs, so I came across these, mugen mbx6tr hubs they are 13mm each so overall 26mm gives the truck a nice stance and they fit perfect.
So if anyone is looking to widen there stance this is an option. They also come with cerated wheel nuts
Thanks.

Not to rain on your parade, because if you're happy with the extensions that's what counts. My 2 cents is that those will put unnecessary stress on the hub bearings. You're better off simply using the offset wheels.

Thanks X. I do run the off set wheels on one truck, and know about stress on the bearings but I really like the dirtbonz. Can only try I guess,

Just throwing a caution out there ya know?

Aside from that, thanks for posting this. It's always helpful for other forum users to get suggestions and help in what options are out there.

Thanks for sharing @Gav. I do agree with X on the extra stress but if you're okay with it then go for it. What's the part number for the hubs you used?
