I don`t know alot about the lightning but this would be a start. With bigger tires you`d loose low end speed, so I`d play with the suspension.Myself I`d try a thicker shock oil and use those shock things to stiffen the lightning up.

Welcome to the 1/10, street world.....................All I have out in front of my shop is cement and those of us who use it from time to time have to go over it and blow off all the little bits of garbage and dirt that collects in order not to break wheels and flip cars from a little pebble.................using foam tires will help a little but they wear fast..........another plus to foams is you can get a taller tire to avoid small obsticals, but the only way to avoid problems is clean it. If you want to have fun on a dirty surface and not break all the time...........Get an ST 2 wheel drive and put some street tires on it.........or clean
