Thanks

nubz with the hpi 17mm conversion. comes with 4 tires and 4 conversion kits, also available with uv joints and hradened axels. best deal out there. specifically for the savage.

im still running the dirt bonz that came with my savage le and they get really good grip on the track

on the proline velocity 40 white wheels do you need to have hex adaptors?

The Dirtbonz are decent tires, but don't run the overly soft HPI foams in them. Before I would go with bowties or boas, I'd get a set of Panther Pythons. They are made to fit Revo rims but you can fit them on 40 series. The sidewall is taller and I prefer that with the weight of the Savage. I went with Team Losi Super King Pins on 40 series Cheyennes. The SKPs are tall, but they are for a standard maxx size wheel. I just stretched them over the bigger wheels and they are awesome now. You can do that with lots of different tires.

I don't know anything about the Nubs.....other than they look too small to be on a Savage, in my opinion.

is the foam in the stock Savage LE to soft???????

Chronic

Oh yeah, waaaaay too soft. All of the HPI MT tires have crappy foams. Their tires really aren't bad. The Dirtbonz have great traction on most surfaces, and they are super lightweight. The problem is that they are thin and a soft compound, which does not go well with really soft foam. My Dirtbonz would roll over so bad on pavement that the outer edge of the wheels would hit the ground when I turned hard. Overly soft tires and foams absorb initial steering, throttle, and braking input too which throws off the handling and makes the truck feel lazy.

so then how do i fix that? where could i get new foams? and are the Dirt Claws Tire for HPI much better then the stock LE tire and do they have stiffer foams?

Would these be good?

if you're racing, always find out what the fast guys at your track are running.

there is no magic tire for ALL conditions

I know the foam is way too soft on my X. Heres a pick to prove it.
