Should I increase my Hawkeye’s tire diameter for rally?

I already have 55mm big bores installed and clipped height limiter hoping for better performance offroad

Here’s my Losi Mini JRX2. It’s an M chassis 16th scale buggy.

Sitting on Tamiya M chassis wheel set true to stock diameter. It has a Tamiya 370 Sport Tuned motor it’s quite nimble and fast

Since I’m into a Tamiya ish build, I threw in some Blockhead Motors decal. I really liked how it looked plus it has similar vibe to earlier Kyosho buggies which has been one of my wishlist.

Would probably need recommendations for wheel sets since the tire diameter for these are quite limited when it comes to rim choices. I need thinner rims as well for the front since this is a rwd buggy.

Electronics are stock ish, just upgraded the servo from Spektrum SX107 to SX108. Spring set are Losi, shock oils are Associated 30wt.

Currently has no gyro and is powered by a GNB 1,100mah battery that can last an hour or so. I would probably install lights and gyro at some point if I’m able to sell the 2in1 esc

Easter break had me going through the mountains with my Unimog. Those Injora rock lights do light up as bright as the sun in this pitch black mountainous road

I’m really happy how my Unimog turned out, the lights and vibe definitely satisfied what I look for in a trail chassis. The size is a bit smaller so I build it as a trail rig that I can go anywhere.

Open front and rear diffs since I don’t do extreme rock climbing with this rig, instead I do rally. So the vibe is Safari Rally Support Truck.

I was initially going to get the Land Cruiser 40 series and painting it yellow. Glad I went with the Unimog instead. All the details on this rig is how I wanted it to be.
