PARTS:what should i buy?

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.

Hi far18,

Because of the gear ratio, i don't suggest you to go with higher tire setup. Just think of the tsunami that wear bigger tire and the gear ratio is not good for this car because it have a lot of difficulty to reach the second gear. So if you want to go with higer tire, maybe you should look to get a 1 speed shorter gear ratio transmission. That would help a lot your buggy to accelerate a lot better and have a better bottom end power.

If you still want to go with bigger tire, i may have some several choice i can sen you in pm.

Just pm me if you want more info about that!

Merry Christmas!

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:
