Well thanks to all of you my t-maxx was up and running good until I crashed it, and now I'm replacing all of the A-Arms with RPM's and all of the shocks with integy piggybacks. I am wanting to get a second set of wheels and tires, and I was wanting suggestions mostly on the tires. I will be running them mostly short grass that's on top of very hard, pretty dry dirt. I'm trying to find a wheel and tire combo that will have the same outside diamter as the stock wheels, but with bigger wheels and less sidewall if possible, and I think that's how the 3.3 is set up. Since the stock tires have a big mud grip type tread, I'm wanting to get a lighter tread more like a street tire, and then I will have a set for both. What kind of tires do you guys recommend that have an on road style tread but still do ok on hard dirt?
 
Grab some of the Factory 3.3 wheels and tires, super low profile and great traction for all around bashers. I drive mine on asphalt, concrete, dirt (soft and hardpacked) and through my yard with 5-6inch grass and my neighbors 2-3 inch grass and though tones of leaf piles and its pretty good traction everywhere. Just be careful this time of year on the short grass, I can leave some nasty ruts in my yard if I am not careful.

Its the talon tires
 
Don't buy the Integy shocks. If you already have, return them. They suck. Not smooth at all. I have Hot Bodies shock on my Maxx and they are smoother. The only thing wrong with 'em is the rod ends could be beefier.
 
Alright thanks for the response alien, I think I'm going to give em a try. I don't really have to worry about ruts, I've got 50 acres to play on so I have lots of places that I can rut up while still staying out of the nice landscaping :) I'm going to build a track soon when I get some dimensions and stuff.
