You dont need any conversion, its the same as the wheels you have now but bigger.

No that is not true, 40 series wheels are 23mm hubs. Savages usually comes standard with 17mm hubs. What you will need is pro-line 23mm hubs that are made to fit on savages wheels shaft.

SOmething like [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXJGR3&P=7]these hubs[/link] will fit great.

not all 40 series wheels are 23mm.i just ordered 17mm and you can get them in 14 mm as well.

I think the only Pro-line 40 series wheels that come with a 17mm hex is the Wabash, and they have the Revo offset which narrows the track width too much. You would need to go with something like the XTM "large" dish wheels or the Axial beadlocks if you want a 17mm 40 series wheel.

If you go with Pro-line wheels, do NOT use the 14mm hex versions... especially the 14mm dish wheels(weak). Just go ahead and upgrade to 23mm hexes if you want to run those wheels.
