How will such a setup effect the differentials? Reason I am asking is because I ended up remaking a DBX with large rear wheels and small front wheels.

If you have a center diff that would be effected.
It would constantly work to even out the load on the front and rear axle rotation.
If you DON'T have a center diff you won't be able to drive at all.

I know with the Ofna Sprint, it comes with different size front and rear wheels. The people that tried it out on the local oval said it pushed real bad if the turns if you were on the throttle. It wanted to go straight when the throttle was applied. aybe if you used a real thin center fluid, it might work okay.

You will pull up the front wheels a lot!

At the very least, your front tires will wear faster, especially if you use high-viscosity oil in the center. The latter will also be highly solicited by that setup.

If I understand you correct you're talking about a car that came stock with different sizes? If that is the case they also have different gearing in the front diff vs the rear diff OR no diff fluid in the center diff (a bad thing).
Think of large modern 4x4 tractors, they have pretty big difference in tire size.

The gears inside the cases are the same front to rear. The center is a regular type differential from Ofna so it just has a little grease in it. Where we race, everyone has to use foams only, so it doesn't really matter since they are the same front and rear. It probably only comes with the different sizes to increase the realism.

I'm wondering if the OP means Wider or taller (ie bigger Diameter)?

Wider won't make much difference, but taller can cause problems, if not regeared to compensate.

Thank you all for your help.

I meant bigger all over. Taller, wider. It will indeed struggle a bit more, but I was hoping it would work atleast.

I guess I'll just remove the front drive shafts and make it rear wheel drive only.

Does anyone happen to know of a stronger gear set/differential that will fit the DBX?
