FG Baja with Monster wheels?

Why not?
Will probably need to check clearance of the wheels to the body. May probably catch.
Gearing? Any different?
My monster's 48/16 diff/layshaft; 48/16 Spur / pinion.

They're the main things I suppose.
 
it does ^^ ...contacted the guys at hobbythek who replied today & they said they fit, only change needed is the stock gearing :)
 
no worries, it'll be phone pics coz thats all ive got for the time being, im not going to run it too much as I don't know how much strain the heavier larger wheels will put on the belt system (mines 4wd) but will give it a quick squirt.

well sorry I took so long but here you go. only fitted up two as it was freezing the other night in garage.

i couldnt get the fronts to sit on the squares properly, would only go on enought to get a couple of threads on the nut, may need longer axles if your going to run it this way.

I think it looks great.
Looks like you will have a problem with clearance.
Also, with only one shock per corner, with much bigger wheel/tyre combos, I'd check the balancing was pretty close, as shake may become an issue.
Al.
 
shake is a massive issue with the stock tyres if your running in even slightly damp conditions, the rims fill up with dirt real quick thanks to the support beams on the inside, the catch and hold dirt real well, when I run @ local track in wet conditions I need to clear the rears of dirt every 20 mins otherwise it almost flips on roof the vibration gets that bad.
 
thanks for the link, didnt know anyone made these but have heard of people making it themselves.

I cant run these on the stock FG Baja rims as they have support beams on inside, this scraper would hit it, ill get these when I get my HPI style rims.
