Spacers?

[WillieL]

Hey Guys I have been looking into getting front and rear spacers for my blaster. i Have +3+1 A-Arms in the front and Stock Axel in the back but I think i need a wider back and in doing so I was just going to get Front Spacers Too. But I've been hearing some bad things about them like " they don't let you turn as hard " or "they ruin your rims " I've also heard that they can make your steering lock up if you turn to hard and maybe even throw you forwards... Can anyone help me out? The ones i was looking at wide the wheel track by 3" in the Fronts and 5" in the backs. THanks!

If you flip your rims with spacers it makes turning harder...but i think your fine with +3+1 a arms unless you have to have spacers

for the rear, i would get a banshee axel. it adds +3 to the rear over stock. and the spacers only cause a little more bump steer. u can still turn and such normally.

Leave the a-arms, and get a banshee axle. They are +4" wider than stock blaster axles. Then you can get 1" spacers for each side (which equals to +2" in total length) so it will match up with the total of +6" up front.

Then you will have +6" in the rear, and 6" up front with the arms

I Have a Banshee Axel but My front still is significantly wider which is fine but i just wanted to add like 2 Inches to the back or 3 if i could but all i've found on motosport is the 5 inch rears

Fitted correctly, spacers present no problem on the rear.

I run a Banshee axle with spacer studs, no problems.

besides flipping front tires, has anybody tried flipping rear tires as a cheap way out?

yep, I have thought of it. Does not work though, rear rims have the same offset on each side, where the hubs bolt on is right smack dab in the center of the whole rim. Nothing to gain there
