Ive been working on a crawler to end all for some time, industrial motors atv tires solid axles the whole deal 4' wheel base but its not much more than a pile of parts because I bought a jeep and the wife said I had to choose, as for capable, each tire is the size of a 2.2 machine, you figure it out.

The hydro crawler, it uses ATV tyres and it's got to be at least 1/2 scale.

It's better to be a smart a$$ than a dumba$$

If you wanna build big.....Twin Force axles

If you wanna build small.....Twin Force axles

You can build any width you want and they will handle just about any tire you wanna run.

Supers and 2.2's both have their good points and bad points. Some places a 2.2 will smoke a super and some places a super will smoke a 2.2. It just depends.
