You can super moto them quite easily but you have to change the wheels, then the brakes because the wheels are a different diameter and then the suspension as it will sit far too low and be too soft

Re: New boy needing advice!!!!!!!

Put some SM wheels in it you'll love it. Its ok with the standard brakes but stand on your nose with a big disc on the front.

Oh, and welcome to the forum.
