i currently have an scx10 honcho that i am building to a 1.9 scale rig. i was gonna do that but i want it to keep the 12.3 inch wheelbase and still make the truck look how it would if it a full size truck. can you give me some tips and tricks on how to turn the scx10 to a 2.2 scale rig without losing the stock wheelbase and keep it looking like a full size rig? cause when i tried to put my 2.2 boggers on it the truck looked stupid and i went with longer shocks and they moved my wheelbase in some and i dont want that do you have any suggestions?

use small 2.2 tires. I have a set of pro-lines that are about a quarter inch taller than the 1.9 pitbulls.

i know you already have 1.9's but im running the mickey thompson 1.9 TTC baja claws they are 4.75" tall and i set them beside my 2.2 proline hammers and the mickey's are taller than the hammers.. i had 2.2 hammers on my honcho which look like this if you go a bigger tire than this the only way they'll fit is if you trim the body lots or put a lift on the truck. |
