Default Running t-maxx wheels/tires on my revo, will it hurt it?

I broke the right front wheel on my revo where it bolts on. I hit a cynder block at almost full speed. LOL. Broke the middle of the wheel right in half. I put t-maxx wheels and tires on it because we built this awesome jump in my yard out of crush run and these things launch. the top of the jump is 5 1/2 feet. Doing flips 15 in the air and not breaking a thing. Will the wheels work or are they to small and gonna mess something up??? I am amazed at how durable the revo is. Cant believe that the wheel is all that broke when i hit that block.

Yeah they definately fit. Not as much room as stock wheels, But nothing is rubbing at all . They are just alot smaller than the revo ones. Didnt know if since smaller the faster rate at which they will turn will hurt anything?

Putting revo tires and wheels on a t-maxx will just decrease torque, but increase top speed, i would just keep an eye in the clutch, 'couse it'l be taking quite a load.

Won;t hurt it one bit, it will just not have as fast top speed but it will accelerate faster lol
