Status: offline 		Any time you add weight, you're increasing the stress.

But as long as you keep the weight somewhere similar to the stock Summit tires, it should handle it just fine.

Put it this way, I haven't had any more issues running my Revo with Trencher X's than I was with the stock tires.  If anything, I'm having fewer issues because I'm not traction rolling all the time like I was on the stock Talons.

If you are mounting the tires on the Axial 8 Spokes, I think your only choice might be the original trenchers.  The T X's are a Traxxas Bead tire.  The Axial 8 Spokes are a 40 series wheel.

Ahh I think you are right about that. Dang I totally overlooked that. Looks like i'll be getting the beadlock wheels. Oh well might add the trencher 40 series on the Summit with the axial 8 spoke wheels.

Status: offline 		Proline Trencher X tires on Desperado wheels are 55 grams heavier per tire/wheel than the stock Geodes. So thats a bit of weight when you add up all 4.
Stock Geodes: 330 gr
Trencher X on Desperado's: 385 gr
