Can the D14 be made to be competitive in the 3500-4500 class vs the WD?

3 mph stock class

I figured the gearing of the 14 would allow for more options

Or are the 26" wheels to much of a disadvantage?

I see a lot of WD's power out rather than spin out.

18.4 is too big for our stock class. 14.9 would be the biggest you could go. We only allow 1 size up from stock. Heck maybe 13's would be too big, didn't a WD come with 11.2 or something close?

Optional tire on a wd 45 was 16.9 so 18.4 is one size up from stock look at parts book

Our tire rules are easy black round and made out of rubber not cut for the 3 mph classes black round and made out of rubber cuts allowed in 6 mph class this elminates the his tires arent stock crying and at 3 mph the driver is a lot more critcal than tire size I beat my self just as much as any body else beats me

WD-45s never had 16.9 as a optional tire, but AC did use the old 15'' tires that are now 18.4s on a rice WD-45s.
