Improve Ground Clearance

[Railside270]

Here's the deal:
I was trying on some different tires from other models when i used my tamiya 4wd tires. I overlapped them over the original tires and got some good ground clearance. I think some1 already posted something like this but ill post pics anyways.

Cool, Do the tires rub agenst the frame when you turn sharp?
Do the tired rub agenst the body (When you place the body back on the car)?
Do you have to modify the body to accomodate the new tire diameter?

I haven't tried to use the wheels with the body...they prolly wont fit. They dont rub against the chassis but if i use my rally skid plate...they do rub on that.

Well the skid plate could be trimmed a little to allow wheel clearance.

bigger tires will improve top speed a little bit too, but probably slow down acceleration some

hey, I have an idea, that would look great if u do that only to the rear tires!!! make it have that drag look, but thats jst IMO, btw it looks good and its a good idea
