RE: proline rims
I don't know about those tires. If I were you I would go with aluminum rims. I got a set for $75 off ebay they are way better. Look at the Proline Mulcher tires. Alot of guys racing here are using those. I have a set of Traxxas Sporttraxx and also right now I'm running a set of HPI Dirt Bonz. THey are pretty decent. About $42 for the HPI tires on ebay. Aluminum rims wont strip and are WAY more balanced than the plastic rims. All about the same weight also. Hope this helps.

RE: proline rims
aluminum is too expensive for me. the cheapest ones i find are like $56 bucks! i need some strong plastic rims that wont strip out but still look cool. i found some Q-6 rims on ebay also about the same price as the prolines with some off brand tires.

RE: proline rims
I would strongly recommend the 40 series Outback Welds from Proline, instead of the V6's. You need to purchase the adapter set from sav central; I have NEVER stripped a wheel with this set up.
Here's a link to the discussion on this subject:

RE: proline rims
so if i were to buy a set of 4 off ebay they say for the TXT-1 ONLY, does this mean if i got the adapters then it would fit my savage? which tires?

The 5 holes on the adapters interface with the nubs on the outbacks. The back of the adapter looks just like the hex nut. The adapters replace the existing hex nuts. It's been bulletproof for me so far.

RE: proline rims
I may have found the rims [link=http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5914507128&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT]here[/link].
But the adaptors for these rims to fit a savage, are [link=http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=44028&item=5915037187&rd=1]these[/link] them?
