Get a monster truck for extreme clearance. Moreover your ESC will be too stressed and may blow due to too much load of the tyres.

Larger tyres have been used and then replaced with standard 1:10 tires. Better bet will be to get a 1:8 MT.

Tires worn down almost 5 times faster than usual, car handled strange, tuning was a problem with very horrible handling, shock leaked more due to excessive pressure, dog bones also got bent,since the design of the car is not meant for such height. |
