Default RE: PARTS:what should i buy?


ORIGINAL: far18

I have a tornado bb. I want a set of tires that will give it more lift. Maybe monster truck tires or something that will fit the buggy. hmm.. maybe even a larger engine? .28 sized engine that would fit if possible.. (which i have no clue what to get-what kind etc) ANY ideas at all? thanks in advance.
Ya bro, you don't want to go with bigger tires with that two speed. You'll never hit second gear the thing will actually slow down. If you realy wanted to get bigger tires I would suggest something along the lines of proline 2.2 size tires. There not to big and it will still hit second gear. If you realy want to go with 2.8 size tires, then I would suggest changing the transmission out to the single gear set up.

2.2 tires:
