|  Scaling down from 2.2 to 1.9
I'm relatively new to RC. I have a bomber that I mainly use for bashing rather than crawling. Running at higher speeds and occasional roll overs seems to be putting a lot of stress on my wheels. I've broken the hubs out of two. I'm wondering if going down a wheel size would help lower my C.O.G. and generally reduce stress on the steering, and what the tradeoffs would be. Thoughts?

Yes, plus it looks more scale. However, a Bomber on 1.9's looks horrible, almost like it skipped leg day, unless you put better axles under it. XR width AR44's would be ideal but I don't know of anyone that makes them. Normal AR44's are too narrow in my opinion.

What wheels are you breaking the hubs out of? Sounds like a wheel design or material issue to me... I have multiple sets of wheels and tires for mine and that particular issue has not happened. The closest I've gotten is losing some hub bolts on my Gearheads until I went with longer ones and Locktite. |

For a Bomber, I would stick with a 2.2 and just get better wheels.

10-4 on that - plastic wheel hubs are a known weak spot on crawlers... too much torque!
