Default Need Kongs or Big Tires for TLT

I know, I know, asking for a big boom....But I am the type of person, that If it happens, I will just build around them.....

I have 2.2 wheels, and tires. Both J-Hawgs and 2000's.... The Hawgs are great, I just need more size....

Any adapters for wheels, or customize stock wheels.

a tlt is a 1/18 scale car if you put kongs on it the fist time you hit the gas you will hear alot of grinding lol

Ok, now that the flaming has begun...

My only option is switch to clod axles, and go fully buggy right

YES, you'll have a lot more reliable rig. It's fun to wrench on them, w/in reason.
You'd be wrenching non stop.

I would get Mini-Z overland axles, kongs would look very scale on them!

Don't get anything bigger than stock maxx tires for a TLT. If it' all stock, not anthing bigger than dirt hawgs.

Order some adapters here:
http://s94251975.onlinehome.us/heydco/

These will allow you to run the Maxx wheels and Kongs. I dont know for sure if the stub axle is long enough to werk but if yer an innovator you gotta take chances, but I'd bet you can make it werk.

Proline makes Outback 40 wheels with a TXT hex size (12mm). Get some and put Kongs on them. Narrow the tires and wheels so you dont need wideners. Or get some wideners.

Put up or shut up.

So do it.

Well I was just figuring, with the amount of BB's I have in my tires now... Front and rear, more in the front

That really how much more would those tires weight if anything...

Grizzly has it right, push the norm a little....

Put up or shut up... my moto on my Yota....

Weight is one thing, but you're not factoring in the increase in leverage with the larger diameter tire.
