Ride height ST
Ok after running a couple of tanks through the ST I am realizing I probably should have got the MT and am now looking for suggestions on getting some more air underneath it. What is the biggest tire that can be bought to put on the ST? Has anyone fabricated a lift for one, it would be kind of neat to be able to have the option of switching back and forth.

RE: Ride height ST
You may be able to get away with the stock st gearing especially if you get or have a tuned pipe. Just be aware that you will have more top end speed and less low and mid range torque or grunt.

The MT and ST rims are different, The ST rims are offset more than the MT to keep it clear of the body. The MT rims will hit the body while turning.

RE: Ride height ST
may or may not work but on my 1/10 scale nitros you can put zip ties around the shock bodies so the spring sits lower thus adding ride hight. kapish

RE: Ride height ST
OK I think I am onto something with a little help from the parts guys I just may be able to salvage this, looking over the my ST and pic's online of the MT (mind you I have never seen an MT in person) it seems as though I could replace the front body mounts with MT ones raising the body I could then make an aluminum plate that will span across the cutout in the bed allowing for the rear to mount where the spoiler on the ST now mounts?? Does this make sense and can someone give me a part number for the front body post for the MT?? I would also need to get a fitting for the exhaust, and the MT tires and wheels other than that I can't see any difference in the 2
