That is not gona work I think
I already tried to do it with a tlo1 before and those wild dagger, twin deto wheels are just too big to move for a high gear ratio. With an mo3 I think its the same. It looks cool though. It will accelerate like a turtle.
I think the stadium raider tires or the pajero tires would be more feasable.

Was possibly looking to pick up a nice batt pack with punch but am not sure if the newer cells would fit in the Cooper. I currently have Matched GP3300 1.17's and would like to invest in a nicer stick pack for mains. Any suggestions? I am not sure if the higher capacity cells were slightly larger or not but prefer a pre-made stick pack anyway. Thanks!!!!

Isnt dead shorting dangerous to the batts??? I saw a lot of racers doing it but (gives more power to the batts) it kills the batts slowly..
