I'm not sure yet. Maybe unimogers new ones or rcwd ones.I'm not sure whats all out their in 1.9 wheels and tires.It should run good with the six tooth in the r2.Any ideas on 1.9 scale wheels and tires?

Very different, Have you seen the posts with the Half Leaf or Buggy leafs in the rear. I think you would get a lot better flex by doing that then just the regular leaf set up. Are you wanting to move really slow, as the 6T will definately make it move a Snails Pace. I found the 8T that came with the RC4WD R2 Tranny was really a little to slow for me. So I am moving up to a 10T to give mine a little UMPH.:-P |

 you gonna run it with it like that? I would just be concerned that it would tear the body up on a hard roll. I bet with a lil bit of tube work you make up some different attachment points.
