So what wheels would I need to order for this thing. I know it includes some adapters but I want to make sure I can run what I order. I'm looking at the premounted trencher / desperado's but most of those list traxxas vehicles and there are several different wheel types.

So which should I go with?

Also what tooth gearing should I go to? They recommend lowering they gear with a larger tire.
I have a set of HPI Monster SS rims with the Proline Badlands 2.2" tires. The black looks real nice on the truck. If you geta 2.2" tires, it will fir these rims. Oh an gearing, I would maybe go down about two teeth. I never changed my pinion, but I can say the motor does get pretty warm, but not enough to break the motor or overheat it.
That looks good and Ithought about going with the 2.2 Badlands but Istill do a bit of street driving, Ihear they wear quick on the street. What is the factory tooth count, 26?
