Default Wheels, chassis, tranny... I AM CONFUSED

ok guys.
so i thought i would buy a tlt for a crawler project for some extra fun. I bought my tlt (still sitting in the box), bought my moab XL tires, just won a matt francis tranny on ebay. So now I have a few more questions.

1. I like the cheyenne wheels. These are the narrow version, however, do you guys typically still make them narrower? If so, what is your overall width when done? 2 inches?

2. Will the tranny I have work in a SW2 chassis or will I have to do some modifications? If so, how much?

3. If I go with the cheyenne wheels, what are my options for adapters and wideners? I think these will work http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXJGR4&P=7 right? If these work, than I can get TTR maxx wideners right?

I have done searching and reading on this stuff, but i think i am more confused now than when I started. I guess I just need someone to spell it out for me

Thanks
Matt

1. XL's are WAY to big for TLT axles, you need 2.2 Moabs.

2.You should just have to lock it and drill mounting holes in the bottom plate.

3.Like I said, get some 2.2 Moabs and 2.2 wheels. Most people are using Traxxas and HPI wheels.

Sorry boy, my bad. I do have the Moab 2.2" narrow tires.

See what I mean, I do to much reading and I can't even type correctly

Thanks for the info so far.
