RE: 17mm Hex Conversion
By upgrading to a 17mm hex, you can choose from a ton of aftermarket rims. I would suggest the Traxxas 17mm splined hexes. I have them on both my nitro and E-Revo. Just make sure to throw a little blue loctite on the main nuts and you'll be good to go.

RE: 17mm Hex Conversion
I went with proline 23mm hex hubs. Strong and can handle the power of an aftermarket engine that you might install some day.
I'm not taking anything away from Traxxas and their 17mm by the way but I like the 23's.

RE: 17mm Hex Conversion
for something easy i suggest the hpi alloy hex hubs and nuts(very cheap and good!) they are the stock pieces on the savage xl.
And about the benefits of the conversion. with an aftermarket or modded motor you are more likely to strip either the plastic wheels or hubs. a bigger diamter increases durability
