Hello I recently picked up a Revo 3.3 (Dirt Cheap)The truck was in very rough shape but I have managed to do some cleaning the one thing that I don't like about it is that it had Pro line trenchers all around they are almost new but in my opinion way to big for the rig!Both bumpers and mounts are gone the body's x2 are really rough just looking to see if anyone Possibly has the original 17 mm Geode rims and tires or no the best place to get them.I can't wait to see it all clean!

Stock tires are ok but i wouldnt go with stock unless u put some better foam in them. IMO the stock foam is way to soft tires ballon way to easy

I have trenchers on my revo and i like them but I'm also running a picco .26
 
I have the17mm wheel adapter's so would it be advisable to also go with the 14mm wheels.I found some for a good price on flea bay.
 
myself i keep both on hand bc i have rims in a 14 i like and in a 17. 14 or 17 would be fine in general your 17 mm are going to be bigger tires. I have the trenchers you have that i also run on a t maxx that has a 3.3 on it and it wheelies and everything no problem.
17 mm is stronger and less likely to break a axle pin so alot of people running a true bb will run 14 mm so when something goes its usually the axle pin if everything else is upgraded to cvd's Its really all up to you
 
I ditched all my 14mm wheels in favor of 17mm. Got tired of keeping multiple sets around that I couldn't swap between trucks. When I started upgrading engines, I started burning out 14mm hex's which is why I went to 17mm hex's.
