hey guys,

is it a good idea to get wheel spacers, do they make the bearings go any faster? whats the down side? im talking only the rear wheels.

yep, 5 foot wheel spacers will make your bearings go faster. it's extra leverage.

wheel spacers are never a "good" thing to use. but if you cant afford an axle and your not doing any big jumps or racing then you will be alright.

' = feet
"= inches

YZeater is correct......5 foot spacers will make your bearings go faster. It would also make it hard to load in a truck.

Spacers are a bad idea if your doing any jumps bigger than a few feet or throwing your quad around pretty well, in my opinion
