Default Rc18r with 1/10 wheel conversion

[8D] Hi was just wondering if anyone has tried a 1/10 wheel and tire conversion on an 18R? I needed tires and decided to try the 1/10 sedan rims with street meats and delrin adaptors. Not sure they're going to clear in the front and will have to trim or raise the body. Figured it was worth a shot and will be different if it works.

Just so you know, it will traction roll very easy.

How will you fit them? I can't even fit 18t rims and tires, let alone 10th scale.

Theres no way its goin to fit the clearnce just wont work theres not enough room and to that you would heat every thing up and catch fire. End of story.

you will have to use wider arms and dogbones on the car just so that you can turn - pretty much turning your 18r into an 18t.
