those tires look HUGE on that body... could be the lack of things surrounding them though |

The body has a 10" wheelbase but I plan to stretch the front out about .5"-.75" and the rear about 1"...that should put me close to 11.5"-12". I'll probably try to get it closer to 11.5" though. I was thinking about the Geo's but I haven't picked out the tires quite yet... I'll borrow some different ones to see how I like them. | |

Looks realistic! But would be very hard to get that width so you might as well go BIG!!  |

youve got a hella realistic body might as well go with the realistic tires also. sometimes its better to look good than to kill everything on the trail if you want big make a comp crawler if you want looks make a scale crawler. the claws look awsome on it, theyll look even better tuck hard into the wheel well.  |
