ok i have heard about being able to mount maxx tires on a tlt with out too much strain on drivetrain. but i have a few questions. what tires will work that arent to big. and would i want to use some wideners? or would that be more strain? and im guessing that the adaptors would widen it some.

thanx

2.2 seem to work good. But i think wideners will put more stress.

I'm so confused. Why do TLT people buy the smallest axle they can find, and then try to put huge tires on it?

I've heard 5" is sort of a max. Wheel wideners make it hard on your servos to turn. (Of course, I ignore words max, reccomended, and no)

Cuz they're cheaper dave...

You might break the little axles inside the case, but otherwise will be fine. I wouldn't run more than a 6" tire, though the k-rocks would look sweet on there. You know imex is coming out with a 5.5" tire that fits 2.2's right?

I put some K-Rocks on mine with x-75's just for the fun of it, I will post some pics later, and for the record when you run maxx tire on a TLT you DO break stuff..... lol

yes you do break stuff!!

i got an e-maxx for x-mas and just for fun i tryed putting the tires onto my tlt-10 (i run the stock tranny but different center diff) i tryed driving it in a straight line CLANK right away i decided not to try to force it so i put the 2.2s back on hehe
