4wd question
Has anyone run an XMod with the 4wd and the bigger tires that come with the '65 Mustang body kit? I was looking at it, and thought that the difference in diameter from the stock tires might cause a problem. Any experience?

It could be a problem, as the rears will cover ground faster than the fronts. No one's tried it though, probably because the big tires in the back I hear are really grippy.

No it won't work the front or rear tires will slip and act goofy, or if all tires have enought traction then it won't move I Have always driven AWD cars. Thats the only problem with them if you get a flat and you tires are kind of old you need to replace them all. Having one tire larger than the others destroys the torque distribition system, noramaly called the Viscious Coupler.
So my guess even with the small cars you are gonna wear stuff you or the car isn't gonna handle right...

These cars don't have a viscous coupler. It just has a metal shaft down the middle. But, I finally got a chance to test it, and it definitely will not work properly.

Well yeah I understand there is no VC, I am just saying..
On big cars there are one and it can get burnt out it is supposed to slip to a point. But with these smaller cars I am sure it causes larger problems...
