salvine 125 Posted March 26, 2020 Trying to widen the track of an F103LM. Just cosmetic reasons to fit the Cross Racing Mercedes CLR body I have. Need to get about 10mm wider if possible. Can't change wheels. Need wider A arms or different spindles. Options? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fabia130vRS 2098 Posted March 26, 2020 You could find somebody to manufacture new longer shafts for jazrider uprights. or swap to F103GT front end and seek for longer shafts or make them. Or other hexes? my f103lm can not accept front wheels with hexes only the regular f1 wheels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
salvine 125 Posted March 26, 2020 Thanks. Unless I find something else I'll have to make longer axles. The wheels I am using are F1 style without hexes like the GT version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisRx718 4470 Posted March 26, 2020 Bear in mind the scrub radius will increase if you just fit wider axles. This might make the outer part of the wheel catch on the body. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TurnipJF 9192 Posted March 26, 2020 Lunchbox axles would fit the front end and allow you to space the wheels out a fair way, but might be too wide? If they are, and if you have the equipment to do so, you could press them through the plastic parts until the axle is as long as you need it, then re-drill the kingpin hole?

Worth a shot. Less that 10 bucks with shipping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
salvine 125 Posted April 2, 2020 Lunchbox axles did the trick. Had to trim them by 5mm or so and drill new holes for the kingpins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

salvine 125 Posted April 2, 2020 Still working on some sticker options since they did not come with the body. Pretty simple. Just basic sponsor stuff. FYI the wheels are from the Speed Passion LM car. Had to enlarge the wheel arches a bit but looks much better than the Tamiya sized wheels for this chassis 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
