if the truck will not bottom out then you are putting extra stress on your suspension components (shocks, towers, A-arms etc...). Not saying dont try it, but just realize the risks. they are cool looking!!

I remember my imex 2.2 puller dawgs were gigantic on my pede and they would sway very easily and flip with a brushless setup.

Nonsense, with the low COG of the truggy geared for about 50 (14t pinion) they were fine just slow to respond as the sidewalls are a mile high.

Yeah i know that it puts alot of stress on everything, but i have decided to get rid of them- it requaires a 9t pinino to do 36mph and i already chewed up one.

Its kind of a hassle to change gearing just to go bashing.. id rather have a smaller tire like badlands or something.

I'll take them,

Edit: wait did you chew up the pinion or the tire?

x2

I put my set from my sav on my trug as a goof. Rolled over easy and swayed alot as the tires ballooned and distorted immensely. They also hit the body when i turned. Doubt I'd call this observation "nonsense"

OTOH the trug did roll right over whatever I was drving at. lol
