^^^ Using a taller tire will generate more lift. RC4WD's Rock Crusher X/T 2.2 Tires (http://www.rc4wdstore.com/2/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=3&products_id=453) are 5 and 1/2" inches tall (140mm). RC4WD's Rock Stompers Soft 2.2 Tires (http://www.rc4wdstore.com/2/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=3&products_id=404) are 5.39" inches tall (137mm).

Are you looking for more ground clearance, or to do a suspension/body lift?

A taller tire will raise the skidplate and axle housings.

Yep I would do bigger tires too.

I used RC4WD 2.2 steel wheels and rok lox tires.

The truck looks a little funny since the brat body is small but if you had a larger body like a unimog or something it would look pretty good I think

sorry for the threadjack but i have a 50t motor and want a pinion that has a little more teeth (20-25) so i get a little more speed, but one that fits a cr-01 too?

The CR-01 comes with a 20T AV Pinion Gear.

I know this is an old thread but I would just like to point out that the AV and 48pitch are not compatible. They are close but the mesh is not really efficient so after a while will wear out....especially under load. This is also a problem with the TT01 where most people are mis-informed and use a 48 pitch and end up chewing the gears after a couple of packs!
