    1/5 scale monster truck for bashing

    My wide kit should be here Tuesday hopefully. I'm definitely curious how it'll perform. I'm still learning about the hobby, but the problem with hub extensions (essentially wheel spacers) is the added strain to the bearings and hub carriers. You're pushing the "leverage point" out much...
