Cant help with the toyota body but i can tell you that you can certainly go from 2.2 down to 1.9 on the scorpion.



I still have my scorpion and i love it!



here's a couple of 2.2 and 1.9 pics, hope you don't mind



2.2 Axial Lizards tires on 2.2 RC4WD rims





1.9 RC4WD Crazy Crawler tires on 1.9 Axial rims





1.9 Pro-Line Flat Irons tires on 2.2 Pro-Line rims





1.9 Pro-Line Flat Irons tires on 1.9 Axial rims





2.2 Axial Lizard tires on 2.2 Pro-Line rims

i have to admit with the pictures i saw of yours the trucks look more realistic with the 1.9s. so i need advice as to where is the best and least expensive place to buy the wheels and tires. thanks again. i noticed in one of your pics that you had 1.9s on 2.2 rims can i do that?

what state are you located in?

with going with 1.9s you can have a great looking rig, and are you looking for the Toyota Hilux body?

I get my tires from RPP Hobbies or RC4WD. They have great prices.

As far as mounting the 1.9 tires on 2.2 rims, i wouldn't recommend it. The rim is wider than the tire & the tires tend to shift. They never stay centered. The reason you see them was my mistake. I purchased the wrong sized rims. I noticed after i mounted them and took photos. The rest of my time after the photos was spent unscrewing each of the beadlock screws. OH JOY!

BTW i think the 1.9 size is more realistic but you cant beat the 2.2 traction or extra ground clearance. That's why i often swap both.
