Since all the weight is in the rear they actually get very good traction. The only thing I've come up with is custom driveshafts. If your willing to go slow, under 35, and use a loose slipper it can work. So good luck man. :D

Smaller Tires will take the place of a loose slipper and not put so much stress on the drive train.

I guess I didn't say, but the whole purpose of this truck is to run reliably with the wheels/tires that are on it. The size of the wheels is what makes it fun for me.

Reliabilty with those tires may never happen.

Probably not, but all in good fun. Just like the big trucks, you take the giant wheels first, and then try to get the rest of the truck to work :)
