Very nice. I'm not especially fond of the pink tubing and air cleaner elbow, (unless your a chick  ) but very nice just the same.

Thanks for the pics, nice looking machine. I'll have to agree with Jack, but "to each his own". Bottom line is, it's your creation and you made it
just the way you wanted it. Nice addition, the support for the fuel lines and filter, grommets even. One can always study up on the camera, but the pics look great to me.
I can't be bothered to show up here!

What, no more pink fuel tubing, you give in way too easy. The fuel tubing really doesn't care what color it is, it gets the fuel from point A to point B, it's picky buggers like us that give you flak
about it.
I can't be bothered to show up here!

Im sure I was the first to come out with wheel extenders for the EK4 .
I sold quite afew sets around the world , mine were silver hex.
To be honest there more trouble than there worth thats y I stopped selling them , just a light crash will cause the front knuckles and suspension to
get ripped off .
If your having problems of tipping over on corners , get better tyres like he got and lower the suspension a little by adjusting the stops on the
lower wishbone arms.
Plus use a stiffer oil in your shocks , I also fitted roll bars from the EB4.
Dont ask me how I did it as it was quite a while back and no pics.

hi there rccat
these wheel extenders are 20mm long and do make the ek4 very wide using the standard wheels and tyres . i aint had a problem
using them but but depends how your gonna drive your ek4 ,and what combo of wheel and tyre your gonna use .................these where proline
14mm hex extenders i dont think they are made anymore.if you want to extend out any then look this up http://www.pro-lineracing.com look in the monster truck section on wheel and tyres... proline have gone for 23mm hex drive
extenders these using there HD beadlock rims and giant moab tyres phewwwww what a combination hope this helps

ofna sells the 17mm extended hubs as well as 14mm .... you can get different lengths as well.
extenders are fine if you use a wheel with less offset so the arms don't rub. a good example is the rims from the TTR ST1. they have zero offset.
opposite would be the EK4 rims as they are almost as wide an offset as possible.
I raced with both the extenders and not. it is extra stress on the steering servo to move the wheels as the pivot point changes but I never ripped
anything off. I found I liked dominator rims the best and kept it low. they didn't need extenders as they were quite wide offset anyway. I used them
with proline rims and mulchers. 2without the extenders the tires rubbed.
