T-Maxx 3.3 Desert Runner Build

[_Kodiak_]

Hi, all. Recently got a near brand new T-Maxx 3.3 after a long hiatus from anything RC. My plan is to build it into a style of a desert racer, so think Baja 1000. I'm gonna get a Beetle body from Proline soon and then plan to get new wheels and tires, just really confused at the different sizes and number that come with them. Here's the ones I'm looking at specifically:

https://store.rc4wd.com/RC4WD-Mickey-Thompson-40-Series-38-Baja-MTZ-Scale-Tires_p_4221.html

Now, I've never gotten this deep into RC before, so I don't know for sure how it'll turn out. The wheels say T-Maxx 3.3, so I'm sure they'll fit just fine and the tires were shown mounted to them. The original tires on the 3.3 are (to me) obnoxiously wide.... I'd like of these are more narrow, not to mention they blend in better as something you'd actually see in the desert on a car. So, to wrap it up, is this a sane and do-able project or am I in a pipe dream? Thanks!

I think that its a doable project ,I've done projects like that!

Are those tires 7 '' in diameter ,I think that they would look cool!

In theory ,a slightly smaller tire or skinnier tire ,you should gain more torque & top end speed ,also it
would be less stressful on your steering servo & capponets!
