Different gearing with different tires?
Ok so Im looking at getting some 40 Series Big Joes from Pro-line, first question, will these axial rims work? (im pretty sure they will) http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...Wheel-Chrome-2
Second question... will I need to change my gearing because of the bigger tires? If so, in what way? Thanks!

Bigger tires = bigger spur? Ok, for some reason I thought it would be the other way round but sounds good! Im not gonna change them just yet but wanted to know! Thanks

Smaller cb bigger spur makes more torque and less top end speed for bigger tires. Bigger cb smaller spur makes less torque but more top end speed but not good for tall heavy tires [sm=shades_smile.gif]

It's easier to change the spur than it is to change the clutch bell...that is if you have the trans case with the lift off top.
