Status: offline 		How much will bigger tires affect speed? I know when I put the stock tires on, as opposed to the strikers the rusty seems to scoot at a much more rapid rate. So say I put on some mashers. Would that bog the rusty down alot? Or with foams increase the top end. I kind of like the looks of the mashers, but I also want the dirt hawgs, those are some of the coolest tires I have ever seen.

Standard Tires = Even
Smaller Tires = More torque and lower top speed

Status: offline 		bigger tires will also heat your motor up so you should gear it lower. the lexan i got from my dads work but Acme Plastics of S FL is where ive gotten it from before the chassis is 3/8" thick i want to make one out of blue tinted lexan to match but im not gonna bother lexans almost as big a pain as fibreglass is... nightmare chassis' are looking nice... i MIGHT get one in a few months after i get a job... light and fairly stiff from what ive red.

Status: offline 		oh and mtr if you want a stiff chassis, you want to go with lexan this stuff has almost no twist on it and with a single bar or 2 across it vertically and horizontally will make it have almost no bend in it either...

Status: offline 		Wicked, do you think that they sell Lexan at Home Depot? or Acrylic? If so I may go with that for my carwler chassis, It's gonna be a trapazoidal chassis base with some 4" shocks... I may just got with the stock maxx shocks or savage shocks 'till I have $100 for some piggbacks... I'll post pics when I get the materials and such.... I think I may hit hobby people too for some center diffs and shocks... and maybe a body.... what body do you guys reccomend?
