Yeah dirtbonz work excellent on the track also Nubz and Bow ties. I have ran the dirtbonz and the nubz. I prefer the nubz on the loose track I race at.

those are my favorite tires to run on my savvy because they grip good and almost impossible to wear out, I have 2 sets of them on different wheels to try to wear out.
here is a pic of my savvy as it sits right now, all dressed up and waiting to go out. ( this set of wheesl and tires for show only right now)

yea NEVER, NEVER, NEVER take new chrome rims on a dry track, because they will get cloudy and the only way to fix that is with fuel and the fuel is realy rough on the chrome too!

The Dirtbonz are awesome tires, as long as you don't use the foams that come with them. The tires are so thin and soft that they REQUIRE some stiffer foam to perform like they should. The HPI foam is useless.
The ones that came stock on my LE were so bad that the edge of the rim would hit the ground when I turned hard on high traction surfaces.

I all so do not like chrome wheels, as after running them a while they look bad! Might be OK for bashing but on the track hitting the lane dividers and other trucks sure makes theme look bad fast. [:'(]

yeah, i have three sets of chrome rims for my mgt. i'm getting me a set of none chrome rims next, i just use the chrome ones for bashing. one set already has a few chips on them. my stock revo rims i got for my gt are white, i set them in some warm soapy water over night and they turned white, but they do look kinda cool from far away or when moving. you can see them in my gallery, the fronts are like half chrome half white because i tried to scratch it off.
