I'm possibly being a bit dense here and I've only had one cup of tea so far today but.....my Slash allegedly has a 55mm chain line, with a BSA 73mm threaded BB and what at a glance looks to be a 3mm offset ring. So is the new chain line as a result of the clip on BB spacers? Personally I've had no issues with the chain line but there's plenty of room to throw in a 6mm offset ring by the looks of things.
Edit - I think I've answered my own question in that I see there is a different SKU for the 55CL crankset so presumably the axle is a bit longer. Weird. Funnily enough I have a 'normal' crankset order with shorter arms but I don't see why it won't just bolt on with changing out the spacers.
