Default Pros and cons with running 2.2s on scx10

I'm getting a scx10 dingo kit with 2.2 wheels on it guy built it and had it as a shelfer. So what are the pros and cons will I have to do any adjustments I'm gonna put my rubicon links to be able to put my shell on it but what would I need to do to make my ride good?

If the 2.2's require you to lift the body, you might find it top-heavy causing it to roll more easily. I use some smaller diameter 2.2 flat irons on one my rigs as a middle ground that doesn't require the body to be lifted.

2.2's are all I run on everything. Are they always "scale"? Nope but wtf does that matter when they make the rig more capable? Taller tires and a decent suspension setup will beat small tires and a fantastic suspension setup more often than not. The only slight downside is you may break axles or drivelines a bit more often but thats up to your trigger finger if it happens or not.

So would the stock shocks be good or would I need to upgrade?

Stock shocks will be good but you will need to upgrade the drive train for reliability... just lkke 1:1- lockers or spools, drive shafts, trans gears.

Well I guess there 2.15 he told me they were 2.2 but if not it's still a sweet looking rig so I'm guess ice they won't rub?
