Default Vaterra Slickrock on steroids!!!!!!

Hi all

Just wanted to share this, i decided to see how my Slickrock would look with 1/10th wheels on so i chucked on my HB Rovers of my RS10 and i must admit i like it. If only it would work, hey it goes in a straight line and over stuff very well but obvious issues are no steering clearance at all, tyres binding all over the place, im sure the steering servo could cope very well with it being a 1/10th model.

IF ONLY!! haha

Reminds me of Bigfoot 4 with the ten foot tall tundra tires.

...All you really need are some 19mm offset hex wideners and you'd probably be good to go!

Reminds me of when I put the 2.2 Iroks on the Twin Hammer.

Really?!! Would that work, i know the steering servo is up to it but would the motor and or other componants cope with the extra rolling mass? I am seriously thinking about getting some wideners, how capable would the slickrock be with these oversize wheels?
