Rather annoyingly he doesn't actually say which wheels/tyres he is using, I have put the XLF16A tyres on mine which are about the same size as what he is using and they give MUCH better air control. It's a backflip monster.
However - using such big wheels means that the suspension can no longer bottom out as its impossible for the chassis to touch the ground. On a bigger, heavier RC this would be unwise but Im not sure it matters on such a light one. The other thing you should be aware of is that EVEN if you trim the lexan body, bigger wheels will necessitate very heavy trimming of the steering which will mean a much poorer turning circle. Even so, Im still sticking with big wheels. And bigger wheels gave me an extra 5mph top speed....
