Granite Extending arms on granite v3

[Eclipe720]

I found a couple of options and some included getting hot racing hub adapters or even the arms and links off a Typhon. I was also thinking about going with the 17mm hex as well for more wheel options. I know I need the arms ar330540 and ar330540 f/r as well as the links. Would anyone know what else is needed?

I went with RPM Typhon arms and the Arrma Typhon turnbuckles. You'll need two steering turnbuckles as well. I recommend Proline Badlands Mt's all day long "17mm hubs".

I guess RPM is the same part but aftermarket right? What do I need to run 17mm wheels? Right now its 14mm. Running adapters I think would be temporary, but I would like to convert it to 17mm.

Two options for 17mm

Option 1: Hot Racing 17mm adapter set:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NF7HNBM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_3j1JFbDSNHVMK

Summary: Takes your normal granite style axle and adapts it to 17mm, adds 10mm width after doing so.

Option 2: Typhon style 17mm axle ends and hexes:
AR310905 x 4
Description: These are just the axle ends, you'd swap out your granite ones and replace with these into your sliders

Alternative option:
Buy an assembled full set of Typhon axles from jenny's (same as granite axles length wise, just has 17mm Typhon axle ends):

Also needs the Typhon hex and pin set:

I have used both of these methods and I prefer the Typhon axle solution because it's a little bit stronger and doesn't add as much width.

I used these for the hubs:

And these hub extenders:

I went with RPM arms because I had the extra cash and they're more durable than stock. I would have also done what @suchtragedy suggests too. It's all preference.

Great! with the alternative option, I still would need the Typhoon arms F/R, turn buckles, and links?

I second this opinion. The Typhon axles are thicker and tougher.

I mean if you just want to add 17mm wheels then yeah you can just do whichever method of axle conversion you want. If you want to widen the stance then yeah you need to get Typhon arms/turnbuckle/steering links too.
