Would like to hear some comments on these 2 choices, the DS are ext. though so, I want to know how the handling is on both on an MT or buggy. Ultimately I would like to run a truggy type set-up.
 
I got the Hostlie slicks tires tuesday I think . Thanks as always were sold as advertised from IMADMAN a great trader to deal with you fellow rampage guys I have bought from him on the baja before forum and so has Flintman , and MoFroggy.
 
The extended will give you more steering "scrub" it is called on dirt this is a advantage. It helps on entry and through the middle of the corner. On hard surface like asphalt you will get a lot of push and tire wear on the inside. So this is the pros and cone of extended axles on the steering axle. Depends most on your terrain choice. On a dirt track with tight corners the extended be great especially if not much bank.

Good info! I don't play on a REAL track just a makeshift one with no banks, mostly hard packed, with a thin layer of loose soil and rocks.


I'm thinking of running MX's all the way around.
 
I have the Integy extended hubs with Proline wheels/tires on my MT. The hubs showed up yesterday and I have not been able to try them out yet. I have them installed though. Here is a picture.
