Do they go onto the stock wheels or do you have to buy new rims? drew

you have to buy the Proline 40 series wheels to go with the big joe tires. standard savage/maxx wheels won't work with the big joe's.

Default How bout them BigJoes?

How do those Big Joes feel on the Savage, do they make the truck sluggish at all... I been thinking of getting a set but they look like they would put a bit more of a strain on the drivetrain to get them going... Not to mention a little more strain on the steering servo... Any problems like that yet ???

HAHAHA

You know I really dont like the hummer come to think of it..lol

Maybe a Grave Digger body.. that should fit it nicely!!
The Wider tired are definitely "phat"
Sweet!

badboy2, now my savage's steering is much better than before on grass. today, i will go to a big parking lot to test the tires.


about the hum-vee body, i hate it too. i am getting a F-350.

last time ,i went to my LHS, they didnt have it.
