lol lol... ;D Too bad Tamiya MRS 190 is for SS. The 200mm shells actually not that wide and bulky for 190, if the axles are long enough you can just offset thr rims 1-1.5mm each side, helps the look a bit not to mention the handling

Most unlikely, i've been browsing the 200mm shells at Taising for the past 2 days and i dun think i came across MRS but don't despair, always a chance of getting them if you know where to look...lol

200mm.. needz offset rimz to make it look nicer indeed... but it will give u quite some problemz durin driftin.. see which 1 would ya wanna sacrifice.. haha.. ;D I don't know running 200 have any problem, dun mind tell me what are? I have been running my HPI RS4 RD (200mm) all the while oredy and I don't see any downside to that, why would i want to sacrifice? some peeps I know also add some offset to their 190s.

hm.. for wat i noe... ish... u can still drift wif an 200mm shell.. budden the lookz might be a bit.. weird... itz like oversized car wif some undersized wheelz... perhapz puttin on some offset rimz..? thn it'll affect ur driftin as the 'length' of the offset rimz has more surface area in contact wif the grnd... harder to lean towardz the direction ur gg... (correct me if im wrng... ;D )

hm.. for wat i noe... ish... u can still drift wif an 200mm shell.. tell me about it. I drift with one, have you? than all the nitro cars are weird? they use same size of wheels... the area contact is the area in relation with width of the tyre despite any offset added. Unless a bigger, wider tyre is used, there's no such thing as 'more surface area in contact with ground' dude, leaning (not steering) is related to roll center. roll center is define by lines of arm, upper links and center of tyre's ground contact. Whether in drifting or in racing, 'harder to lean' is the way to go.

using offset effects your side throw and the geometry as in the length to width ratio will change causing your car to react differently... ;D for tamiya mrs,you can cut the front arc a bit to the front then the rear arc to the rear den ok liao.. i did mine that way to fit on my yoke.
