Thank ya guys I'll order them. I'll see and post about how they hold up

a few different companies make spacers, in a couple different styles. most do well and look good.
ive also seen people make their own out of longer grade 10 bolts/nuts, kinda iffy but they seem to hold up. just remember when adding spacers your upping your rotational mass, thats why extended length axles are available. and well worth the money.

i had spacers on the rear with no problems but recently went with a banshee axle, but then again mine is a 2006, so i can use a banshee axle. that's not the case on the 02 and older blasters.

Not true, you can use Banshee axles on all Blasters, but pre 03 need extra parts.

This was interesting to read.

I have been thinking about spacers lately. after riding the step sons around the yard. it does not seem to want to slide around turns as well as it should.

Is this why some use spacers ?

Also if you haven't already done so you can just flip the front wheels to widen the front. Its free instead of paying for spacers then you don't have to worry about snapping spacers atleast not on the front.

Will flipping the front wheels not cause the valve stem to hit the brake discs?

Very true, you either have to relocate the tits or fit shortened ones.

you can flip the wheels around on any blaster that has brake drums but if its brake disks your gonna need shortened valves...!
