2 WK questions, easy and quick
#1 A bigger spur gear means slower and more torque right?
#2 I am leaving to go camping tomorrow and bringing the WK. I noticed that my rear moabs on my jato and rear M2ks on my pede work on the WK, should I stick with the crappy WK tires or go with a moab/M2k combo on my WK, which would be better? I am driving on granite and dusty lose dirt...

if it is the 4wd one you must use 4 tires all the same exact size or you will have problems with the gearbox as the larger wheels with spin at a different speed then the smaller

if you are off-road it wont be a problem, since the tires can slip. Even on-road with something like a wheely king I dont think you would have any issues... a WK doesn't really weigh all that much, and it has metal R&P gears.... I would bet the tires would slip before anything even came close to breaking.....

RE: 2 WK questions, easy and quick
Ok well I just got back, I was not liking the different sizes of wheels using the M2K and moabs, so mostly used the stock tires.
I found a killer mudding spot and a few small creeks to run in. Its funny how the WK will float with stock tires, until they fill up. I had all 4 wheels full of water lol. Whats the best way to deal with that problem? Beadlocks?
Also had a great time on the trails and some mudding in my Jeep WJ. Gonna post some pics some time soon.
