Get yourself some Mini-Z tires and rims. That would allow you run wider tires. The dogbones issue could be solved with some aluminum ones purchased online.

There are lots of online retailers for miniZ stuff but the 2 I use the most are tinyrc.com and reflexracing.net.

MiniZ awd rims are useable but the d cut end where the rim fits to the axle needs a slight modification to fit the awd rim

It's worth the mod because it gives you way more options for wheel choice

Modding bodies to fit the Xmods chassis is simple usually. Mini-Zs use side clips, you'll need to cut those off and put a Xmods rear clip on the back and obviously a matching front clip to secure the body.

Mini-Z bodies are also lighter and they look better then Xmods. Plus, they have a decent selection of bodies
