Its also different classes if you compete. 2.2 pro and sport. 1.9 we just started have a class for in are club on the west coast. And the scalers are a mix up of both. Hope that helped some.

I am assuming because you are asking about 1.55 your question is receding to tire size. Scalers run all 3 tire/wheel sizes. In comp terms 2.2 is most common and usually 1/10 scale. 1.9 is usually 1/18 scale. You won't find 1.55 in a comp unless someone is running them in a scale comp. Hope this helps.

It was confusing to me first as well. Just about everything is 1/10th, they all just run different sized rims. (also, there can be a large variance in the "outer diameter" size of tires all mounted on the same size rim) If you try to keep a "scaler" look, multiply by 10 to get your 1:1 sizes. 1.55" rim = 15.5" 1.9" rim = 19" 3.7" outer tire diameter = 37" tires | |

You may need the Honcho chassis if you want it to fit right. The shock placement is different then the crawler chassis. |
