Looks a whole lot better now. More meaner and aggressive

Stadium truck wheels and tires are a SCT mainstay at my local indoor track. They can't stick out beyond the body, that's the only rule they enforce. They are a lot faster with the stadium wheels and corner much better.
 
How do you make it not stick out of the body?

With mine with normal sct wheels. If I overturn I would traction roll, it is aggressive, and sometimes since its 2wd I would diff out. On the slash I'm using the 272R sealed diff so I wonder what oil I should put in, or if I should just put grease.

If you traction roll with SCT tires, how much more with truck tires?
 
Idk yet. On the rustler tho it's a lot less but I'm using wrong suspension setup.
The rustler is also a shorter wheel base with longer arms. Slash is longer wheel base with shorter arms. Slash has a lower COG and a right suspension setup to my liking. But also with the SCT, it's full pin tires front and rear, while with the truck I have pins rear and a wedge like tire front.
