I only ran them that day. Took them back off when I got home and put them back on my crawler. Just thought it would be cool to see how the TR did with some bigger tires. It was super easy to throw them on (another reason I just did it for the day) just had to raise the body a little bit. I had to raise it even with the 1.9's on though it was too much rubbing for my liking |

| 2.2's on SCX10 pictures
Here are some pictures of my SCX10 with some 2.2's on it. It really crawls with the 2.2's on it, with 4oz of weight in each front wheel and 3oz in the back. I am using the lexan Clod body and had to do some cutting to get it to not rub so much, also the wheel base is 5mm or so shorter then the stock setup on the SCX10. I did make some shorter links and ran that several times but switched back to the stock length as I liked the performance better. I just cut a little more body off to reduce wheel rub. When running the 2.2's the axles seemed to pop off easier so I installed the driveshaft rings on all four ends and no more issues there. Ok on with a couple pictures. The bottom pictures show it with 1.9's and also a picture of the stock wheel base compared to the CLod body before changing the links and then cutting up the body and running the stock links. --John        |

| Lexan Clod body on SCX10
What I did for the links is I bought some hollow aluminium tubing and some Axial 3x16mm set screws same as the ones that come in the kit and tapped out the links and put the end connectors on that came extra with the kit. That way if I wanted to run the stock wheel base all I had to do is swap back to the stock links. I think I spent 5 bucks on the tubing and another 5 on the set screws, I already had the tap set. Although you can get the correct tap set for around 7 bucks.

I ran my 2.2 Flat Irons on my TR once, wanted to try it with weighted wheels and that was the only weighted set I had laying around. They rub a lot with the stock body in the stock location. I didn't want to move the body up, but my little test convinced me that the stock 1.9s need some weight. I put some weight in the 1.9s and put them back on.

i put the stock 2.2's off my cc on, they do rub a little but thats mainly just while climbing. i raised the body all the way up and theres way less tire rub. i just run the 2.2's for muddin and the 1.9's for climbing. despite the rub it still looks pretty sweet with oversized tires. everything is stock besides the tires and body height.    |

I am running reduced 2.2 mud slingers and they are only a little bit shorter than the regular 2.2's and still as wide and they work great so far
