Well you could try some Mashers, Moab's, or M2k's, they are all pretty big (around 5"s) and fit on regular 2.2 ST rims so no mods will be needed.

Personally, I like the looks of the Moabs - http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXLDK4&P=7 (Those say for the Jato, but if you read the description it says they fit any 2.2 ST wheels.)

Their's also the Imex All-T's, which are 5.5"s tall [X(] - http://www.imexrc.com/2.2TIRES_NEW.htm

Just keep in mind that you will probably need to drop a tooth on the CB to make up for the aditional torque needed to turn those big things.

IMHO, lower the body some, get some less flashy rims and paint/die them black, and put the All-T's on it. Would look good like that.

thanks guys for the infos.,,,yeah, my tires don't look good and don't perform well, i'm getting one...

i took the body from my nikko rc and put it in the nitro kyosho 4wd, it's fun though, only that it's top heavy and too much body roll during hi speed turns,,still building it.

btw, what particular gear i need to change to maintain the torque or even increase?..i'm using .12 o.s. max cv....

I would change the clutch bell, but you could change the spur gear if you want, only problem with that is you would need to go to a larger spur gear and a larger one may not be able to fit properly.

Basically either a one tooth smaller clutch bell, or a 4-6 tooth larger spur gear should do it.
