Pro's:
More stable in turns

Cons:
Wider, so tighter trails are harder, and you have to be more aware of the rear end
Easier to bend an axle

Ill take the axle PM me, and oh yeah throw away the spacers. Mine ended up coming loose (never seated correctly on the hubs) after an hour of hill climbing, a few high speed runs and in general an average ride up here in the old strippings with roads, hills, and lots of trails. I dont care for them at all, but it is a cheap way to lose a wheel and break stuff, TC...
