i can find/ remeber the link but the biggest i seen are called big jumbo's, there 8 inches tall.

I have a gen. 1 savage and highly recommend the hot bodies wheels and tires. Theyre 7 inch tires look real good and won't strain your servo like the 8 1/2 jumbo kongs. 7 inchers look way better, jumbo kongs ridiculous. My two cents.

ShOzz

ok, so nothing bigger then a jumbo kong, ?

i am thinking for outback bashing some bigger then stock wheels might be a new feel the stock, and save my pins for the track.

anyone got a link or pics of jumbo kongs or the ufo's

if u want big then go with the kongs ...the hb looks nice too but i stripped one already [>:]

I have seen the Jumbo Kongs on a E-Maxx.

If you want the worst looking tires that money can buy, then get them.

They look awful. At first when I saw them I thought that they were plastic, second they are way to big, third they are too heavy and bulky and will take down performance, and fourth at $100 for a set of 4 there would be no way that I would ever buy them.

I would rather spend $100 on beadlocks then buy the Jumbo Kongs.

But that is just my opinion.

don't get jumbo kongs ever the tmaxx can't even hold up stock tyres and wheels just think with kongos on and they look ridicously ****

on the savage i would recomend upgrading to steal drive train but if you want massisve wheels well how about some rover minis 10 inch and look better my mates tried it but had to fit a bigger engine and better drive train!!

Jarret

Ok, first of all he didn't even say he had a maxx. He said he had a savage.

Don't put down the maxx just because you have had a bad experience with it.

I am sick and tired of looking on this forum everyday and people keep putting down everybody else's truck because they think that their truck is the best.

yeah you gotta admit though the t-maxx is **** STOCK if you spend about $600 then it got as much quality as an old school tiolet oh and value
SORRY BUT YOU GOTTA ADMIT THE T-MAXX IS **** AS **** WILL EVER BE AND ever is
HO HO HO
(sorry again)

Abram

I agree with Jarret, quit bashing other people's trucks! It just makes them think that it was a bad investment.

1st comment on the tires -
The jumbo kongs are definately something that will draw a croud trying to figure out with you have.... I think I would get them if they cost under $50 for all 4 with rims. But I won't pay $100. I do agree they would look to big and kind of weird for the truck.

2nd comment on the bashing -
No one asked what truck was better - like it seems like a question that gets asked to many time on here... JMO

I run HB tires & rims on occasion. They look good if you like big & flashy but they kill low end power & you'll definately need a high torque servo (150+). Run them on a tight on road track if you want a good laugh. I'm not trying to knock them, I still run them when I want something different or I want the ground clearance. Just be sure to take a few small jumps 1st. They REALLY affect the way the truck handles in the air.

They do speak English over in England sitll, riiiight?

ShOzz

hey, what about those UFO's seem large but look real nice. i forget who makes them.

are there any benifits to larger wheels?
i though it increased top end and ground clearence.??

I have Jumbo Kongs on my Savage and they looks great. Not for everyday use. But Makes it stick out in a crowd. I wouldn't say they are over prices either. By the time you buy rims and tires it will usually run you around 60-80 anyways. I paid $80 at my LHS. I see people trashing T-Maxx's all the time on here, Personnally is my own experiance I have not had good luck with Traxxas products(Never owned a T-Maxx though). My Neighbor Has a Tmaxx with a Spiro 18 in it and The Thing can barely keep the front wheels on the ground. He says he has never really broken any parts. I saw buy what ever truck you want and stop trashing everyone elses. But in My Own opinion the Savage is a great all around Truck. Very Durable.

I have had good luck with my kids Traxxas bandits. Dont know If I will say the Bandits are good after a brushless motor gets put in them. We will see.

The tire costs for RC as a whole not just trucks is way expensive. I like the look of the Jumbo kongs. For my wifes TMaxx I would like to get new tires and rims. But it has to wait till spring or summer. I blew my RC budget already.

ive got a savage with 10 inch mini wheels but it puts massive strain on the engine etc so hardly ever run it not to mention had to put steering stoppers on it so it only turns like 10degrees hate nitros anyway so it will jus be sold on probably

Here is a Picture of my Savage with Jumbo Kong's on it. Handles good for the tires size. Stopping is pretty bad though. As for crawling, When I had my 21BB in it it did pretty bad, didn't have enough Torque. I just put in a HPI 25SS motor in it but havn't run it yet. Hoping it is better

ShOzz

woah those are huge tires, ok but why do you have your body riding so hi?
isn't it a biatch to get to the fuel tank for a refill as well as the engine?
