Re: BIG Tires
The other issue with very big tires is simply the torque necessary to turn them (and the loss of torque you'll have when they interact with objects.) They'll be ~3.5x harder to turn, and the same factor faster, than 4" wheels off of the same gear boxes...so plan on gearing that down heavily compared to most drive train gear boxes.
