yep, i do this to all my rally cars,, just grind out the inside of some lego tires and you are good to go,,, I did this on my 6 celled xmods, both with a stage 2 white motor and it produces alot of torque and stress on the xmod parts. I sheered off the cup joints so i had to upgrade to alloy and so far its working great,, i also locked the differentials (front and back) and it has amazing performance.

EDIT: The only reason they are clean is because i took these pictures when i was finished with them and these are shots of them new,, they have since been in the dirt several times.

Thanks, glad you like it. I do take her out for some rally play time every once in a while and with the all wheel drive and the rally tires and the help of the 6 cell and torquie motor she runs quite well. I had to lock both the differentials though,, before she had so much power that the differentials would slip and the wheels would hardly turn. Now she flies through the dirt. I should get an updated picture, she isnt nearly as clean now lol

I posted a mod using mud flaps. (for the front wheels). Use the serch and see if you find it. I hope the pics are still hosted. :)
Maybe you can rig something for the rear wheels.
