Sounds a little lazy the way you worded that. There are tons of tires for the T-Maxx run a search for T-Maxx Tires and I am willing to bet you'll find some answers that way, probably faster too.
 
yea but i dont want to buy a set of tires and the rims dont fit them or somethin thats why i need help
 
With so much snow on the ground and my electronics not being waterproofered yet I went out and bought some porline road rage tires to run around on the street with until things start to thaw out a little, also got some Savage SS rims of robmob here in the forums.

I will use the stockers to just go out and bash in the dirt with and once the track opens up in a couple months if I don't suck too bad at racing I will get some new rims and tires for there, I hear the 'pin' style is best but have no experience myself.

I did think the Jumbo Kongs looked pretty 'cool' until I thought about it for a minute and realized how bad they would probably make the steering, slow it down and whatever other effects it would have on it on the internals you cannot even see.

So basically all depends on what you are going to do and remember the bigger the tire the more turning radius you are probably going to loose.
 
what about the Pro-Line Road Hawgs 40's series? they are bigger then stock. u can find them jsut about anywheres ont he web or at ur hobby shop.

later
 
One thing I have found with using bigger than stock tires, especially in this case the width too, that it puts a lot of stress on your drive shafts. You'll probably want to upgrade drive shafts to all stainless or hardened steel.
 
Very good thought there Pirata, but for onroad running, the strain to the drivetrain is minimal when compared to running those huge things offroad. Case in point, the Savage today in the much too wet conditions. Those huge tires ran great until they got bogged down, from there it was burnt clutch and burnt out center hub on spur gear.

Road Rage either in the normal size or the 40 series will work just fine for onroad running. The stock T-Maxx rims are about as cheap as you can get, cost-wise.

But if you go 40 series, you will need to spend the dough for the 40 series rims, too.
 
the 40 series big joes are bigger than the stock but are smaller then the kongs. o wait i think you wanted street tires. o well if your looking for off road look at the big joes. i got them for my savage and love em.

So you found out the damage to your truck or are you still assuming? I only had to shell out $50 for a new steering servo and everything else is up and running.
 
No assumption. Damage assessed upon inspection. Will crack the tranny open for good measure another day.
 
I'll be out about $50-100 when I am done. Upgrading clutch and possibly going metal on the spur.
