You could just get wheel extenders. never tried them myself but here
is an example

you could go with a Proline Wide Maxx Coversion kit, thats what I did w/ my E Maxx and it works great, here is a link to give you an idea http://www.modelsport.co.uk/?CallFunction=ShowSpecification&ItemID=12701 , wheel extenders would put more stress on your hub carriers and bearings, all you need is new upper and lower arms, turnbuckles, and shock towers, if you can't find a proline kit, I would go with RPM arms and towers, and lunsford for the turnbuckles..

I've thought about doing this to mine to make it more stable. I don't like the idea of the studs though. Think of how a Tmaxx tumbles. Mine will basically do cartwheels on the tires. I would think that the hex extensions would tear more up then they would fix.
