Default Which Quality rims and Tires for bashing

Hey guys I just went to A-main to look at some tires and rims to get for my revo strictly for beating it hard in gravel pits and rock quarries
. Problem is is that their is a million darn choices. The proline bad lands look good. But I am not sure the hub size I have (14mm?) Should I go to 17mm hubs?
What really good rims and tries would you guys suggest that will hold up to hard beatings. I definately do not want to lose any speed or make my truck heavier any way either.
I love speed and airtime so i need to be light
You guys hook me up again?

www.impaktrc.com has a great wheel, tire, and hex adapter bundle check it out here link --> [link=http://www.impaktrc.com/product_info.php?cPath=67&products_id=680]17mm Wheel / MT Series Bundle[/link]

A good combo is below.

Ofna 17mm Hex Adpaters

Pro-Line Badlands

Pro-Line 17mm Velocity 1/2" offset


You can get the wheels in white, yellow, and black. I run the black wheels, with the Badlands, and Ofna Adapters

Thats a picco 26 max motor from Ofna. The THS pipe is one of the best pipes to get for the 3.3. If you get it, buy the hard coated version because its stronger. Check out [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_7272361/tm.htm]this[/link] thread though for other tips and advice about rear exhaust.

Nope the THS pipe is meant to be a rear exhaust. His is a completely different exhaust system. I'm not sure what pipe that is but its an 1/8 scale sidepipe.
