What's the best way to do widening on these little runts? Obviously spacers are simple but limited to only spacing so far. A-arms can be limitless, but what to go with? Ideas? Same with rear...different axles vs spacers?
Spacers vs. A-arms

a arms reduce bump steer in comparison to spacers. +3(wide) +1(forward) is the most common a arm size to go with. Durablue and Gforce axles are good. I have the +2,+4 durablue. you can run it at a +2 or +4. spacers work fine and i havne't heard of one breaking but the stock axle is kinda weak
Ok the main reason im curious about the back is...as you saw the big freaking bear claws on mine...well after riding for a bit i noticed (and pay attention lol) that the inside right tread of the left tire rubs on the heel guard and i know how that can screw up a tread pattern pretty quick. So i'm thinking the cheapest easiest fix is just going to be the spacers so it doesnt rub. But at the same time it's gonna look dumb with this huuuuuuuuuuge wide rear and really slim squinty fronts lol. I think the spacers for both front and rear would be the easiest thing to do
flip your front tires and put spacers on the back. makes it much more stable and doesn't look too funny +4 in the back is a good width to me
The only thing i'm worried about the fronts though is with the spacers...is it going to create more camber than it is now or will it remain level?
The only reason i'm widening is just for the tires in the back....this is just my trail quad so i'm not doing anything serious with it. If i decide racing might be a possibility then i'll look into it
I have always ran spacers on mine in the front and it is straight. well i have a arms now. but it was straight with the spacers
i put spacers on my front and say you hit a mud patch on one side going fast it pull a lot harder to that one side. theres a technical reason for that but it does pull one way or the other a lot more
but 20 bucks vs 200+ seems to make the girlfriend a bit happier
rear doesnt matter whats his face on here has pictures of 30 foot jumps and no problems breakin spacers

lol if anybody finds jumps like those on trails were not in america anymore.

I have +5 spacers on the back of mine and nothing up front. it dont look too funny and makes it more stable to slide around (compared to stock) mine are not the stud spacers, they are just a piece of plastic with holes drilled in them and longer bolts. never had a problem.
