New HPI Savage rims
Just wondering if anyone else has the New Savage rims yet ( 6 spoke or 8 spoke)? I just purchased a set of the black 6 hole rims and they look sweet. However, I was told by HPI that they would have the better hex hub design, kinda like the Q6 rims so that they can take more power and abuse. Well guess what, they are the same hub as the stock Savage rims. Oh well.

I like those, they look really nice on there. I have a T Maxx and looking for some new rims. I like the aluminum Bio-Hazard rims. Guess I need to break down and buy them. I work in the medical field and the rims are the same as the actual symbol. Anyway....nice rims Lax195 Hey is yours hard to tune in Jersey with the cold weather?

The weather here has been pretty nasty lately (10-15 degrees F in the am)...but the engine performance is muuuuch better. I think its easier to tune in cold weather than hot or warm weather.

Those are nice rims, I bought a set in the gunmetal but havent glued them yet. I am taking advantage of this warm spell here(almost 50F) in the northeast and heading out with the savage in a bit.

I got the new 8 spoke satin chrome wheels on my 25. I have not had a chance to test then out too much, but they sure do look better than the stock wheels.
