After I put my HMF slip on it gave my quad some bawlz and when i turn and give it gas it feels tip see!!!!! I think i might get some spacers to help that but not sure what size to get i know they have 1.5 and 2.5 so it would make it 3in wider or 5in wider what do you guys suggest I get?

I would do G-Force extended hubs before I did spacers. If your budget only alows spacers,  G-Force stuff is HIGH quality aluminum.

For around $220 (includes the cost of axle wrench) you can own a GForce axle (adjustable to +2 and +4).

So just getting these would make it wider, if that works i might just get these. But would i need new wheel bearings?

No. You will not need new bearings.

The extended hubs are really nice.

another thing, if your not into big mx jumps, you could get a lowering kit, mine lowers and widens the front by 3 inches, and the back is adjustable to lower up to 4 inches. only around 100 bucks too  :thumbs:

That will not work for me since I love hitting jumps with mine but if I just raced mine all the time i would do that, but those hubs are almost the same price as spacers but the hubs are aluminum wich is awesome and i hear some people say spacers brake!!!!

Spacers break, as can extended hubs. Both are not full-proof.

Those are the size of the jumps I hit I go to a race track and there are some big table tops there 20ft.. Should i just get the hubs for the back and save some money or should i just get front and back?

i dont even know if it would be safe for hubs? not sure though i dont really know much about them, id say just save up for a g force axle

Yeah I have the money for the g force axle in the bank but I would need to get something for my front to make it wider to?

They do make a small spacer for the front. I own a GForce set and they do make it about 2'' wider.

You dont need an axle wrench for it.

those wheels wont hesitate to break if you do jumps though. overshot a 70ft triple on my 350 and broke my backwheels clean in half. they were ITP C-series? i think.

Does anyone know how to take the stock axle off and put the G-force one on?
Title: Re: Tip See
Post by: Livingmylife93 on June 13, 2008, 09:18:53 AM
Stock axle comes off easy, take the wheels off, then the hubs, brake caliper, sprocket, axle nut, brake disc, then take a rubber mallet and pound it out from the driver side. This is off of memory if its wrong tell me and i'll actually go look...

The g-force comes with instructions to put it in. But if you need help with it i can help u with that too. The g-force is great you are going to love it  :thumbs:
