RE: big tyers on leopard
Works a treat.[img][/img]
You should really go up to the 48 cog though. Puts too much of a strain on the engine otherwise.
You will damage the shell slightly also when running, basically because the wheels will rub on the shell when turning at speed...when I say damage, the tyres just wear the shell away a little. ALSO be carefull because the tyres MIGHT catch on the rear of the tray, so bend them forwards everytime you run. If you can keep them out of the way somehow, all the better.[img][/img]

RE: big tyers on leopard
I am going to try the Carson Big-Foot tires on my FG Leopard Race, the next time I need to order parts from Hobbythek.
They are "only" € 125 for a set, including several parts needed to mount the wheels.
