Hpi went crazy with savage/savage x upgrades with wheels and tires... all of wich are smoking.

The only bummer is some wheels are 17mm so i'll need to spend a ton on the 17mm hex conversion

I can see it now....Black "Blast" Wheels mounted on "Goliath" tires.... ahhh yes...

Just have to get these to run 17's don't ya? http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXMDB3&P=Z

Some pretty nice wheels and tires there. One more reason to love the Savage.

Yep thats all you'll need to run em, is what digger linked to.

Some pretty sweet wheels/tires. I like the look of the blast wheels with Phaltline tires for some onroad driving.

I'm thinkin Pitchforks! And I kinda like the Ringz wheels..

I just found my next set of street tires and wheels.

awesome thanks digger

i thought i needed this:

i actually like the look of the blast and phaltline much better than the blast and goliath. Will the blast fit wheels of ather companies such as proline. I did some measurement conversions last night and i think they might fit a proline masher. Anyone think the blast will fit anything else?

i would get the phaltline and blast but how well would it hold up in some grass and dirt/mulch?

 

[AC48]

Those are better hexes, but you don't need them to run those wheels.

The Phaltline don't look like they would be too good in the grass/dirt, but I do like how they look.

FYI- If you pick up the HPI 17mm conversion, watch for excess play between the hub and stub axle. I had to switch out the purple hubs for a set from the Mugen MBX5 to mimize this. And as any 1/8th buggy racer will tell you, threadlock is your friend. The wheel nuts love to fly off of the left side wheels.

I am working on a 17 mm conversion that will only run about 20 bucks or so for everything. should have all the parts here by Saturday and then I can get it going and see how it works.
