would it be a good idea or a bad idea to flip the front wheels on a blaster the opposite direction to gain some stability? or would i bend a spindle doing jumps? I only weigh 105 pounds so i dont put alot of pressure on the suspension. I dont know if it would do much good to flip the rear wheels cuz i dont know what the offset is on them stock but if anyone knows i wanna make the rear and front wider, but i dont want to hurt anything. thanks

I faced a similar situtation several months ago.

I bought my 10 year old son a Blaster. It felt "tippy" so I put a set of rear axle spacers on the back axle and reversed the front wheels.

What a difference this made to the Blaster's stability! My son is smaller than you, but he has yet to experience any problems, bending, etc. It is sure a lot more stable however!

The only drawback is the front tire valve stems are now on the inside of the wheel and a little bit harder to access, but really no big deal!

Good luck!
