^^^ Using a taller tire will generate more lift. RC4WD's Rock Crusher X/T 2.2 Tires are 5 and 1/2" inches tall (140mm). RC4WD's Rock Stompers Soft 2.2 Tires 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

Try a pinion with two fewer teeth.

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?
