I am finally getting a chance to run offroad again and I want to pick up with my T3 instead of buying a T4. I found that I can increase the rear track a bit by using Losi rear hubs and heard something about GT front axels in the front.
I have the Losi rear hubs and they do work, can anyone give me more details on the front end parts?

I widened the front by taking 2 sets of t3 castor blocks and connecting them back to back by drilling 2 holes through them and screwing them together. I think there are pics on the rc10b4.com web site but they will be from a while ago so you will have to search around for them quite a bit. There were some pics of travis amezcuca's t3 that he widened the same way.

I have already seen them, how are yours holding up?
What type of glue did you use?
Its really pretty cool, but I am looking for a different way to do it.

I drilled 2 little holes and use screws and mini locknuts and then I epoxied the seem and they held up awesome, and I only used it for mod truck. I don't hit a ton of stuff when i race but they held up to the usual off road rigors. And most of the tracks in michigan are loamy and rough.

How much has the mods helped your truck.
Check out this camber mod I made several years ago.

I did it on a t3 once with t4 inline front axles(you have to drill them out). For the back i used t4 hubs but you have to find longer cvd bones. I could not find any myself so i made them longer using the drive pin method. (they look like a t3 drive pin for your wheel. I found them at the hardware store) Then just silver solder them together. I welded them but what ever you have available. It was just as wide as my t4.
