On the VSW006, I don't remember if this has not been discussed so far; I've tried taking away the 2mm spacers and put on 0mm offset wheels, it's CLOSE to the rear hub, but still there's a 2mm clearance, so I guess it it should be ok.

That's why I like RCTECH so much, always good info. to get. Thanks Tommi.

Kudos to SlowSteady and NiMo for putting up such great info on 3Hobby.net.

Either VSW007 or VSW006 will be fine. You just have to take note of the wheel offset you are using. Please see my two previous threads for reference:

just out of curiousity, what is the advantage of using a 2mm offset?

But that's just my theory - I could be completely wrong. 
The wheels that come with the WCE kit have a 2mm offset. The setup sheets shows a camber of 0.5. Based on my theory, if you leave it at 0.5 and don't have a coning problem, the 2mm offset would give you better downward force accross the tire than a zero offet wheel.
The ground truth and other theories would be greatly appreciated.

If this is the case, why would anyone want to use zero offset wheels? 
Unfortunately, some wheels only come with a zero offset.

Without the spacer, the shaft will be left sliding in and out of the rear hub. On an alternative wheel hex, 3Racing makes one with 1mm offset, still does not quite work without a spacer. The spacer is doing the job good, no worries; I've used both 0 offset and 2mm offset wheels on the VSW007, no problems at all. What wheel hexes are you using and what are you using for the 2mm washers?

whats a good set up for a big track with sweeping turns traction is good
