B74 to wide?
The b74 doesn’t seem to fit in the box at the technical inspection. What’s everybody doing to get to the legal width?

Hi,
Is it off by much? Could you grind the axles down to make it fit? MiCk B. :-)

It's only catching on the front axles, which is pretty common on modern 4wds. Low profile nuts (either JC or Losi) and trim the front axles a touch.
Just like this: |

It really peeves me off with this technicality. You’re gaining no advantage by having the axle foul the box and you’re loosing nothing when you’re forced to grind them down. Nothing on the car has changed by grinding the axles to fit in a box. The track hasn’t changed. The camber change through the suspension travel hasn’t changed. Wheel size or width hasn’t changed. Nothing changes by making this alteration.

Maybe the committee should take it on themselves to work out which rules *actually* mean what they *actually* say and which don't.

I agree that this rule can be a little frustrating, but if the car won't fit in the box due to the axles being too long, then how can scruitineering check to see whether the car is too wide at any other point during the suspension up and down travel? Nothing 20 seconds and a dremel won't fix
