Rustler with monster truck tires. Possible?

I'm running the 5700, so it can theoretically handle up to 12 cells or 3S without any modding. So what you're suggesting is try it out with just the smaller motor? I didn't figure I'd get anywhere enough power to move that kind of weight, etc.

And yes, everything is beefed up to handle a brushless system. Only need to get steel diff cups (waiting to see what the price of the VXL will be).

Thanks!
