I absolutely love the looks and the handling, but they shake like crazy and are heavy. I did manage to balance them.....with more weight. I stepped down to a 20 tooth bell and my 3.3 still has a tough time with them. I have a picco 21 that I bought for it, but it's down for repairs. I almost bought some used maxx mashers on 40 series dish wheels for 35 bucks, but I got outbid. I have a pair of mashers on 3.2's and they're awesome. Smooth and grippy, a great all-around tire. I'm not saying that a maxx can't handle these big wheels, but they will bog ya down. You'll even notice a hotter running engine because of it.

maybe with a bigger engine like the picco .26max can handle the tires,i reall like the mashers 40 series,but i dont want to sacrifice the trucks performance,what kind of clutch shoe are you using in your picco engine?


thanks

I'm using an Integy 3-shoe clutch. Probably the only good thing that company makes.

I've been running the mashers with pl bead lock wheels on my 4908 maxx for a while now. The balancing does suck but we still clocked the truck at 40+mph without issue... I have been running the 3.3 with the stock 58t spur gear. Acceleration is a little lazy, but it will still pick up the front wheels most of the time. I am going to gear it down a bit to help with that. I did tear up a rear center driveshaft and rear diff, but I'm not gentle with my truck. I have more fun breaking it than I would babying it...
