Default Wheel/tire options?

Well, I haven't broke anything, but it gets high centered on every other rock. I guess I could smooth the coarse I have out, but that's not really what it's all about now is it. So how can I achieve a larger diameter tire, not too much so I don't completely loose gearing.

This is all I've seen so far, and it's a lil too much I think, haha.

Sounds like you need to learn how to take your lines better and not smooth out the coarse.

I can drive over rocks that are as tall if not taller then my Scorpion.

Not sure who staged those LST's on the Scorpion, but that is the most retarded looking crawler I have seen yet.

That'd be me, and that was the point. Would have done my kongs, but they were too big (as if those aren't)

I agree, bigger tires would probably kill the axles with the added stress. Pick your lines better. Crawling is beating the seemingly impossible terrain with brains and brawn, not just brawn.

The place I drive mine, there's really no good line. It's like driving a rig with rockwells and 30" tires. I got that place, or wet grass. I need to make a video of this place, it's pretty rough. Sorta in limbo case it'd be on the easy side for the 1/6.
