Tamiya Frog front track width

[StueyS 41]

Hi guys. I am looking to increase the front track width of my Frog. I have fitted a nylon 1160 bearing in between the front axle bracket and the upright, where the star washer sits. The increase is about what I am looking for, but I think it will need a star washer each side to try and prevent any chance of it slipping. I was thinking a 3d printed part which had tabs to key it in each side would be fairly simple for someone skilled to produce, does anyone currently make such a part?

Team CRP #1565 allows for lengthening the front stub axle to mount monster truck wheels:

If you use bushings as spacers instead, you can use this part to slightly widen your front track. Please put thin shims between the wheel ball bearing and the bushings, this will prevent the ball bearings from rubbing against them. Also please notice this:

If you can find them, the arms for the Super Blackfoot (C5 and C8) are a little longer than the typical Frog arms.  That will give you about an extra centimeter on each side...

What are you going to bolt/screw the radius rods to?
