FMS 1/10 leaf conversion kit "1/6 jimny leaf springs" on "Axial" AR60 axles

[Gula]

Looks like it will rock some wide offset wheels to clear the front springs. That offset pumpkin makes leaf springs very, ummm, whats the word. A pain to use

when i convert ar60s to leafs i have to cut down part of the pumpkin to make room for the spring purch other wise your leaf springs are way to wide for the chassis
kinda like doin a spring over on a scout dana 44

Hey, I'm not from Missouri, but, show me! Pics are a worth a million words. I'd like to see yours. I looked over some of your builds, but couldn't find anything relevant to this.

Have you tried the wendigo axles or "xr247" iirc if you bought them separately.
they look like they'll fit.

sorry ill get some pics of the ar60s set up for leafs tomarow

the xr247 are nice beefy axles i have a set and ive done a few builds with them
my biggest issues with them are poor steering angle and there plastic
on the up side they seem to be over built and i like there profile if that makes sense
my marksman/gen8 build is gonna have a ar60 up front and the xr247 rear and ill use the beefy 247 steering axle on the rear of something for 4ws
ive built a few alloy ar60 front 247 rear rigs and its a great combo in my opinion

Well, them being plastic isn't that big of a deal. Just can't drive it like it's a rental car. I think i may have helped the steering a smidge little bit as seen here:
Hurr is a wendigo rear axle placed on a jimny. Looks like they will fit. Both are just hanging out doing 0, so they'll do after I put a frame together and hang the leafs.
