Default Baja 5b using FG Monster Tires.... with link

Has anyone used this, do they work good? These will allow you to use FG tires on the HPI Baja. Interesting.

Yep, many have done it, it's a very popular mod in europe, remember though, you are putting more strain on your drivetrain, and increasing the top speed of your car, sa you have increased the diameter of the driving wheels by 2cm. (stock 170mm diameter, FG monster tires - 190mm). PS. No need for the link, they can be found everywhere.

That looks cool, I know I change my gears from Marder/Stadium tires to Monster tires tho... I would think that MT tires on the front of a baja might put a strain on the front end it was not built for, dunno tho, be cool to try it
