Default Nubz, Offset beadlocks or Lcg Tvp's for savage x ss?

Hi guys wondering what would be my best bet to gain control of this beast as i can only buy one of these. Track is normally dry and tightish corners.

Nubz = good grip?
Offset wheels = more stable?
Lcg Tvp = more stable?

Just wondering which you would choose?

Cheers

i'd rather buy bow ties instead of nubz because the wider the tire is, the better ur handling and acceleration (thts what my dad says[ he's tuning his big car])
lcg tvp....if ur going to buy the hpi ones then i am warning u....these things weigh pretty much compared to the savage x stock chassis. but if u don't have a savage x then it's good
offset wheels...dunno

Wider tires do help with stability but all so cut down on acceleration and top end do to the fact rotating weight is a big HP eater. Beat locks are all so heavy. Off set wheels help but if you get a good LCG chassis and lower the truck with springs and limit the travel you do not need them. I use to run off set wheels and lowered my truck. Once I put the LCG chassis I took the off set wheels off and now have a much tighter turning radius with out them.

What type of wheels and tires do you use now? If you have a good set already I would lean more to the chassis, but if you don't have a good set then I would go with some Proline wheels with some Crimefighter meats with out the offset.

Hi there, cheers for your help guys

Def getting the low cg chassis now!

Current wheels and tires are the standard ones, mite have to have a look at the prolines and crimefighters, They give good grip?

Cheers and thanks heaps guys
