Status: offline 		Hey, I've been thinking about these for a while now, but I'm wondering if any one has had any experience using these or a similar product...

Are these stable?? Do they really help??

Status: offline 		i would guess that it gives more stability and a more aggressive look to the truck. the nova ones look strong too so i wouldn't worry to much about breakage under normal driving

Status: offline 		yea, sorry for not putting up the link, I was referring to the nova ones: http://novarcproducts.com/tmaxxwheelextensions.html

See, I'm sending in the FLM ICE chassis I have now in order to get the .21 four point brace chassis ( http://fastlanemachine.com/PublicPortal/NitroProducts/TMaxx/tabid/55/Default.aspx )...

That will make my truck look a lot longer than it is right now, and I really don't want my truck looking long and skinny...

I'm running RPM arms all the way around, and I don't believe they add any width...

Also I'd get the 14mm ones so that I could run the stock wheels. However I have the Ofna 17mm hub converters to run 17mm wheels. I'm just wondering if adding all this extra stuff on the hub will create a lot of sloppiness...?

btw, do all .21 engine have the same crankcase specifications?? Could I get the .21 chassis and bolt in a .32??

lmk what you guys think
