Hey all, new to this forum (which is a great resource), just got a new Warhead EVO, haven't had a chance to break it in yet, but I thought that the wheels, tires looked a little narrow for a truck of this size, so I took the wheels off my Mad force, which has a 14mm hex with a plastic 19mm adapter over it, with the adapter in place they bolted right up to the WH hexs. Anyway there looks to be no clearance issues, with full suspension travel and steering lock to lock, It makes the truck at least an inch wider. I was looking for opinons comments hints, previous experence with different size wheels on the WH. I dont think it should be an issue, but does anyone think that this setup would put undue stress on the supension?? Adversely effect handling?? For what its worth, the MF tires are slightly lighter than the stock WH tires. Anyway, I think it looks a little tougher. Here are some pics. Thanks in advance for advice.

An improvement. The MF Kit wheels are nicer than the RTR wheels though.

Those wheels do look good, the stockers are so heavy. I don't think you'll have any stress issues with steering and suspension.

I also put my Mad Force tires on my Warhead, looked real good, but Acctually performance was worse, It got no traction with them. My MF tires were more of a harder rubber and It just did not get traction, Pavement driving was real real bad. I have since switched to the T-Maxx tires and wheels, I lost 1.5 lbs over stock wheels and performance is noticably better..

Thanks for the replies, I'll give it a shot, but it sounds as if it's not such a great idea as it seemed!
