All you will need is the tires/wheels and some adapters like THESE or THESE. I have 2 sets of the alloy ones, but either will do fine. As far as advantages/disadvantages the 10th scale tire will probably balloon less and with a stiffer sidewall your shocks will do more work as the tires flax less. I have run them and they are great.

I use the Trinity adaptors.

With the larger wheel comes higher speeds too.
