Status: offline 		I would have posted in the truggy forum but it doesnt look like anyone gets on it very much, can you put monster truck tires on a 1/8 truggy? Specifically traxxas talons?

Just factor in the larger tire diameter and the extra weight when it comes to gearing it.

true
would like to add they will also put more stress on the drive chain, and could cause it to fail prematurely.
