The weight of the truck is still about the same, so yes it will.

I have been running my clod as a 2.2 for quite some time with a good bit of clod stall, I thought. This weekend while tinkering around I stuck on a set of giant tracs and it had alot more stall and it was easier to get it to stall. I would say that the leverage the tire has is the defining factor on the stall.

I played around with the clod stall, getting the ESC wires all the same length, thing like that when i had stock narrowed tires on it got some of it away. Then i slapped some 2.2's on it and there was very little clod stall. the weight does play a factor but so does the strian of the tires on the electronics, so a smaller tire will cut down on the axle strain and lessin' the clod stall. |

A way to fight clod stall is to wire your rear motor first and then run your wires to the front motor. Also gear the rear motor 1 tooth lower than the front.:? For example, run a 9 in the rear and a 10 in the front. |

You can also make it happen a little less by switching to a shafty.

if you ran dual esc's wouldn't it kill all the stall?

One thought that i have... I have no idea if it will work but here it goes.. You take a two recivers and run the same crytals in the 2 recivers and the same in you remote. Then you hook on of the Esc's up to 1 recivers and the other to the one that is left. This will eliminate the stall but will force to to run 2 batts or you could make a spliting harness to run the two esc's. Tell me what you think of this idea? |

It is still going to stall under a bind. Being as there is no solid link between the front and rearends. But running 2 esc's should help. You don't need 2 recs though. Just run a y harness from the escs to the rec.

What I did on my stick...I ran 8 cells and really never had a problem. Sometimes stall is welcome on extreme inclines because it will keep you from flipping over. I don't think you would have an issue with 2.2's because the tire would spin due to the fact you have the same torque on the smaller wheel. | |
