Can’t wait to see what you say about running it wide.. I feel like it would kinda take away from the feel of the “1/10 scale” feeling

Here's a parts list for the cheap conversion. These are from the '21 models MTs Jambo, Kronos, Dementor..Dementieva...
C00180-341 Front CVDs
C00180-368-2 Rear Axles
C00180-108 Wide steering block
C00180-114 Rear uprights Wide

The steering blocks are not the beefier style version that the Sketer comes with and are standard for the '22 Kronos XTR. I do believe those parts will have -1 added to the above part numbers.

Preliminary report is in. KAIJU wheels will fit with the wide hubs and a small shave of the front wheel openings. Steering isn't all that bad IMO. Still handles pretty well, and is fairly maneuverable. Video to follow later.
My body is destroyed. Tape everywhere now.

I know. Pretty soon I'll just be running a roll of duct tape.
Sheared a screw from the right rear body mount. The mods I did to the front mounts worked, although the body didn't.

Kinda for sure, I can live with it though.

Can the newer steering blocks be used for this also C00180-108-1 ??

Also rear uprights are C00180-114 not 144
