1/10th common rim size?

[SenorWickedStix]

On my Enduro trail runner the stock rims are 1.55 (which I’m sure y’all know, lol). I’m curious if going to a 1.9 is better for more tire options or are there just as many for the 1.55? I’m thinking I’d like taller tires since it seems like it’s got a pretty shallow break over height. Curious in everyone’s thoughts.

1.9's are fine, but it depends on the body if they will look ok or not. And going with a taller tire is going to change your overall drive ratio, speeding up your truck. So you might look into going with a smaller pinion as well. That is unless more speed and less low end control is ok. RC4WD has a few 1.55 tire options.

I’ll check them out. Thanks. If I do go taller I’d definitely change pinion to match.

There's also 1.7" wheels

I’m curious if there is a benefit or reason to change from the 1.55 size?

More clearance under the axle mainly.

Gotcha. Makes sense.

I wanted to put 1.9's on my Trailrunner but didn't want to cut the body for clearance.

I think if I do go bigger I want to get a body similar to this.

Some people think the 1.55 are closer to scale. I believe there are some comp rules too.

If you aren't doing comps, get what you like.
