It would but I don't think to the extent of being a problem. The problem would be making it look decent, and evenly spread.

I haven't measured it yet, but they are substantionally wider... If I had to guess, I would say 3 or 4mm. (total, not per side)

Running the narrower ones will simply give you slightly more rear traction, and slightly less steering in the corners.

Ooops, I thought the wider ones gave more rear traction.

I think modeling clay or anything that doesnt become solid would end up pushing out around the chassis on impact and the chassis would do the same thing. My chassis hasnt done this and ive had lots of hard hits. The plastic insert seems like the best fix. Other then that im thinking of putting a small amout of JB weld in there then mounting just the transmission to the chassis, cleaning up what ever excess weeps out around the tranny and letting the JB weld set up for about 30 minutes then i'll remove the chassis and let the JB weld cure the rest of the way which will make it so the tranny doesnt become welded to the chassis. If i do this i will let everyone know how it goes. If any of you have opinions or ideas on this method please post them.

I think a thin 1mm or so skid plate might be the best option for now. I would prefer to see a plastic plate rather than a metal one. Mush lower cost I would assume with plastic over metal.

Maybe some company will make something to fill the gaps or a skid plate of some sort.
