the RC Pro series 1/10-1/8 MT class says max wheel base is 16". This kit puts the wheel base right at 15" so it could still be an inch longer and meet the class specs.




And dude!!! Those are some huge tires... and they weigh almost an entire ound each!!! Thats just a bit on the bulky side IMO. It will put alot of starin on the drivetrain. More than I would want to put anyway. I had the IMEX Jumbo claw dawgs for a while. They were right about a pound each also. I was trearing up difs like crazy with them on my emaxx. I finally ditched them and went back to normal sized tires. Then just ditched the emaxx all togheter in favor of the Savage.

Looks cool though. I'm intereted to hear how you like the once you get it finished and run it.

It should be interesting, I have a feeling that a steel spur will be necessay, does anyone make a 52t or bigger steel spur?

I think it will be alright, as it still has the 2 speed tranny, so first gear will be like it is geared for low 30mph, the aveox and 8s should be able to handle that. If not I can gear down some more and run 9s or 10s.

Not sure if the genesis wheels will be any lighter, they are just as big, and the tires look to be heavier due to the tread. We shall see.
