Default Convert on road to off road car

I have an on road Thunder Tiger TS-4e, electric 4wd car. I have raised the suspention all the way and put rally wheels on the stock rims but the car still gets caught on some grass clumps in the yard. The wheels are 24mm. I can put the wheels from my rusty on it but have to leave the bumper off in the front and will have to cut the chassis to let the car turn. I will probably order from tower hobbies so if anyone has ideas, try to include links to tower.

Buying a new car is not an option since the main use of this car is to have fun while discharging my starter battteries for T-maxx and rusty and the kids use this car.

It sounds like you need longer susp. arms. I don't know if it's mounting locations are similar enough to off road versions to use. Your best bet would be to take it to a hobby shop, and see what fits...
