Hey Samintrepid. I just put on some new tires today and it makes a world of difference in turning radius and spinning the truck around.. I used Traxxas Response Pro tires on white offset dish rims. The truck handles much better now...wont last on pavement though. Only did this one run so far.....I will chime back in once I run them a bunch of times.

Yeah, I did the same today. Put on some truggy tires and the difference was huge. It didn't want to lift the front as much but was very tail happy. I could get the rear to slide out with almost no effort. Donuts, for those who like to do them, were easy as on the pavement. Almost as easy as with a 1/10th touring car. I actually have to admit that I had a bit of fun doing them.

Smaller wheels tires really change this truck. It kind of goes back to being more of a truggy but I guess it isn't such a bad thing. I still like the big tires and will use them for jumping and other rough stuff. Other thing to note is that you loose a lot of the ride height. There are holes on the shock towers that mount the shock a lot lower and that should make up for some lost ground clearance. I am going to run this truck tomorrow at the track and see how that goes.

I have also dialed out some of the front toe out. This also gave the truck a whole new feel. It was very responsive to steering input. Really twitchy on the road but should be OK on the track or loose surface. Doing speed runs would be crazy with steering setup like this but lots of fun if you want to make tight turns at reasonable speeds.

Thanks for the feed back on the smaller tires Chainsaw.
