Exclamation Tire and wheel choice???

I'm finishing up a rebuild of a Brute I picked up. Trying to figure out what size wheels and tires to go with...? What do you guys think about the 1.9's and the 2.2's here......?

I want some! They look like they would be the perfect fit for this rig with as big as they are!

I do love the Slingers! My fingers are killing me from cutting all the lugs out last night! 44 lugs per wheel to cut out!

I'll have to try that next time. I used my hobby scissors that have a slight curve. It cut them pretty good but is hell on your fingers!

Baja Claws, Boggers, or keep the 1.9's. The 2.2's look like cartoon tires. BTW, sweet build! I think if you suck the rear suspension down with a limiting strap the 1.9's Rok Lox would look better.

I didn't build it, just rebuilding it Ive done some body work, paint, cleaned up the bed and tube work a bit and painted it, new wheels and tires, working on interior and adding to it, scale acc, changing the trans, and waiting on some portals to get get in for it Just wanting something a little different

HR or 3Racing? How are you going to keep the gears from blowing? I'd love to run some on my current project, but with 2.2's and tube work, I'm afraid I'll strip every one.
