Easier to go on their websight and look at them. They are different. don't know If they are better. Next time i kick an arm ot need new shafts to the wheel I'm getting extended arms.
 
I don't see how DGI is "clone crap". It's not a clone of anything. All their parts are designed and made by them. They haven't copied them. Are all Chinese manufactures classified as clones now? I've had DGI wheel spacers on my DBXL and their design was their own. They used rubber o-rings to prevent the Hex pins from flying out. I haven't really seen that design in other spacers. I'm pretty happy with the spacers and turnbuckles which also appears to be their own design.

Agreed, I have all those parts and they've been fantastic. Dgi turnbuckles hit a tombstone and aren't bent. Good stuff.

There is a video on Youtube by Fast Eddy that shows installation of the DGI spacers. He recommends using Shims . I installed the DGI 1 inch spaces and ended up buying the shims and installing them and got rid of the slop.

What did you use for shims? Where did you go to find something that will work?
 
A little of topic but bought a set of DGI enclosed wheel nuts, not a fan! Jofer’s we’re out of stock at DDM.

Loosened up 2X and threw two wheels in a bash session after tightening them up mid way, serrations on the nuts are very shallow and don’t hold.

Won’t be buying anymore of their products.

I just found a number for them from my paypal account, 1-855-280-7020. But it's no longer in service

Hallelujah I just opened a resolution case today with Paypal and DGI responded immediately. So sad... they couldn't respond to any of my emails which I've sent over the last month trying to resolve the problem.

Definitely DO NOT buy DGI Racing parts, not only do they make crappy parts they are MIA to deal with, total waste of time!

Darn, I didn't know DGI Racing is clone crap because DDM carries it. I hate buying chinese/clone knockoffs, it was a tossup between DarkSoul or DGI and I didn't choose wisely :(

I've emailed DGI Racing four times already in the past two weeks and nobody is replying. Plus, they don't even have a phone contact number either. I thought it was a bad batch in machining and they'd send me another set.

What wheel extenders do you guys recommend, DarkSoul, Vertigo, etc?

Wheel extenders are a horrible idea for a lot of different reasons. The biggest extender you’ll ever see on a real car is an inch two. There’s a very good reason for that. The smaller RC‘s get away with it and are a lot cheaper to repair but extenders will cost you maintenance and unneeded repairs in the long run. Do it the right way extend the a arms or heaven forbid. Just be happy with your present wheelbase.
