Ya its me again with another very newbie question... what are the pros and cons of running 8 wheels on my T maxx 3.3, also how much would this cost me and how hard would it be to be installed?? thank you for your input
 
Do you mean as dualies, 2 axles, 4 wheels per axle or 4 axles, 2 wheels per axle?

Maximizer makes a dually adapter, but you have to use maximizer beadlocks I think on the inside tire to mount the adapter to it.

It would add a lot of extra weight and a much longer leverage point when you make contact with something. The extra leverage would also chew up axle bearings and make it not turn worth a crap. That's if your running dualies.

Most likely not very hard to install. It will cost more money than it is worth in the long run because, as olds said, it will chew through the bearings and will tear up the suspension parts if jumped due to that extra leverage. Steering will be shot as well, unless you have some super 1.7 million oz. steering servo.
