Whats the difference?

Hey ya'll, I see all the terms about 1.9's and 2.2's and all these numbers.. what is the main difference between them all? Help school a no0b please .

[pantablo]

refers to the wheel diameter at the bead. the difference of 0.3 doesnt tell the whole story though. 2.2 tires are generally speaking better performing tires and 1.9 is generally a better size for scale builds. you can cut 2.2 tires down to fit 1.9s also. There are a few other size wheels you can use but these are the standards.

Ohh okay, thanks alot. So its no way in reference to the scale of the vehicle correct? What are most crawlers? 1/8th scale? 1/10th? or smaller?

[smallblock500]

most are 1/10th scale but some of the 1/10 scale rigs can be build to 1/8th scale size. there are a few 1/18th scale rigs out there like the losi mini rock crawler i think is 1/18 and maybe a few others out now.

1/10 scale can be built using either 2.2 or 1.9 tire/rims. 1.9 is more scale looking. But A 2.2 build can also be deemed as scale too.
