As above really, anyone tried these as a combination - if so, how did you find it?
If you havent tried it, just wondering what your views are on how it will change the cars behaviour?

In my experiance the +1.5mm rear hexes give a little more forwards drive and make the car a touch smoother/more progressive on bumpy tracks. They can make the car push/understeer when on power on high grip tracks and I think in certain circumstances they are why the rear end collapses mid corner.
The trailing spindles are supposed to make the steering smoother, but I have never tried them

mmmm cheers for that. Think I might give them a go once cash allows. certainly the rear hexs, as if I have any mior complaints, its that it can be slightlyk skittish over major bumps

If you want to give them a go at club one day and see what you think. It only takes a minute to change them over. If it's skittish over the bumps I would generally change the pack in the shocks.
I have heard that a hex from a traxxas has the same offset but can't remember which one you need!! Maybe someone else will know.

The 4mm trailing axles make the car much smoother to drive but do take away some low speed steering. I personally like them alot, I just wish they wasn't made of aluminum.
