You mention using rear toe in uprights. Do you mean #54549 Aluminium Rear Upright - 2.5 Degrees, or is there a cheaper plastic alternative?

Also, do you know how an existing wheel track width of approximately 175 - 178mm, when using 24mm rims / tyres, could be increased to something closer to 190mm. i.e. a solution to give an additional 6 - 7mm track width on each side? I wondering, from what I have read, would either:

#84209, Long Wheel Axle Univ Shaft - TT01
or
#53410, Universal Shaft - Long Wheel Axle

fit the TT-02 to give the extra width desired? Am I correct in assuming that #54477 Gearbox Joint for Universal Shaft (TT-02) would be required for both #84209 and #53410?
Hi, enjoy your tt02

Yep I do mean the aluminium ones. There are no plastic alternatives they are cheap if bought from HK or japan.

As to the width, the long axles will only work with thick plastic wheel hex's or special ones from square.

I have just used some 7mm clamp hex's and then some wheel spacers to widen the car. It's still not 190mm but it's closer.

I will get my article ready soon, the car is going well, and I have a nice little tip to modify the car for rear camber in that feature.
