It's just not the ideal way to widen a truck.

Well, I just had to try it.

Now that I did, I tend to aggree with you.

Another thing I don't like about the extenders, it seems to affect the turning radius. It turns alot wider.

It also seems to be a strain on the steering servos.

I did install a pair of high torque servos, but with the extenders, at a standing stop, the servos overpower the servo saver and the wheels barely turn to the left or the right.

A real downside for me. I don't like that at all.

The only good thing it does, is help keep the truck planted on all fours.

The extenders are coming off the truck.
