I think I want to run monster truck tires on this car, will the +2mm extended hexes be the only mod necessary to run the proline Badlands 1/2" offset tire and wheel combination? I am using a sensorless hobbywing max8 2200 kv combo. Am I going to run into trouble getting the gearing right with the oversize tires and higher kv motor? I am plannig to run 4s and 6s batteries.
The 1/2" offset will push the wheels further out. You wont have gearing issues as that motor is a regular sized 1/8 motor. If anything if you need to gear down, you may need to clearance the center diff brace a bit. It will be just fine with 4S, running on 6S with a wider wheel setup is going to put strain on your drive axles and your hubs / bearings. Given that the Badlands are a heavier tire than a standard Truggy race tire.
