Well they won't on the rear
(I don't think anyway)
I'll have less to cut out on the outer arch anyway so it will still be worth it.

Looking sweet scottie, some serious flex, will be even more with wider axles too, what props are you using? and what did your wheelbase end up as?

Cheers matey
The wheel base came out pretty much stock but when i fit the sammy axles I'm going move the front foward 1" and the rear back 1" so 82" ish?
As for the props I haven't got to that bit yet
once the sammy axles are on and transmission is in i'll see what happens? The stock 410 ones should bolt straight on and be pretty much the right length hopefully

Yeah don't worry Parrot, I'm going to be bracing the axles so it's all gotta come off again to be finished, Don't think it would last my driving very long if I left it like that
