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.

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.
