Rustler with monster truck tires. Possible? - 06.08.2007, 05:03 PM

Ok, bear with me on this. This idea may be completely ridiculous, and if so, feel free to say so (I've got a thick hide!).

I'm interested in running an electric rustler with Maxx/Revo sized wheels and tires. Converting over to those wheels/tires is easy enough with the axle adapters.

I guess my main question is with the Mamba Max system I have in right now, would it be possible to run a rustler with the MT tires if I swapped out motors to one of the Wanderer's and installed a UBEC to run a higher number of cells? I can't find information on the can size of the wanderer, so I'm not sure if it would even fit.

Finally, is this a complete waste of time/money? Am I going to end up with a truck that, while I could get it to run fast, would just put too much stress on the drivetrain (axle stubs, tranny, etc.) which was likely never designed for MT sized tires?

Thanks!

Chris
