Default Maximizer rims with pics !

I just got my new maximizer X-75 offsets today and put them on. I found out it was hard to squeeze and hold the rims together , while trying to line up the holes and put screws in. So i made a cheap jig , i would like to share. I put the bolt thru the front side of rim and the piece of wood behind the other side , then screw the toggle on the end, then screw it together tight and it held it tight while i put the screws in. I took my savy out then for alittle romp and boy she handles great ! The offsets move the tires out 3/4 of an inch , so you gain 1 1/2" width over all , sweet ! Check out pics...

Cameron, there imex claw dawgs , they don't grip in the grass as well as the stock tires. I do like the stablity in the turns , with the new rims. But i do think i need a more aggressive tread , cause i like to go anywhere with my savy. Maybe the zombie maxx tires would be better. I'll have to look at them , i bet there the same designed ones that the real monster trucks run, . If they are i know the ones you mean Ironlegend, Thanks !

The 1:1 monster trucks run a "chevron" style tread. The Zombies are different. Team Losi makes them and you can check them out on their website.
