Been running the long axle stubs pretty much from day one. There's definitely a little something to it. Rear track width adjustments are usable with them, unless you go to too much of an extreme, Say going Din/Din on the rear pivot and then keeping the 65.5 bones, spaced 2mm in. You'll get a lot of dong bone plunge that will bind.
I'd suggest using the 1mm spacers so you can play with the track width a bit more without going too extreme, or better yet, grab some of the Traxxas .5mm Teflon shims for a greater amount of track width adjustments. Word of caution with the Teflon shims, they will slip,over the axle stub lip on the ball end if left to wear for too long. I had that happen already. You can use the kit metal shims on the ball end side of the stub then the Teflon shims, that seemed to fix the issue for me.
