Savage XL-E

[Savage03]

Looks good! So the direct drive did ok? Might be time for some meatier tires

[Janezki]

Yes, direct drive does perform well. I'm waiting for the snow to melt for some serious traction...

...Janezki...Agrre with you on the direct drive / center diff...MUCH better feel...

...how do you like those tires? How do THEY like the power you are ruinning through them? Do they balloon much?

[Janezki]

Stock tires are decent, even though they balloon like crazy with full throttle.
I haven't been able to run my truck on grippy surface at all, hopefully the snow melts in about months time.
I was considering ProLine Badlands, but they are so "small" - I wish there was an easy way to put Baja wheels & tyres on Savage.

[Savage03]

If you want bigger next best thing to baja size is LST tires what I use and love em, do very well on all surfaces.

Noted - I'm open to suggestions on wheel & tyre combos, preferrably with 17mm hex. Offroad thread ofcourse, this truck is not meant for pavement use.
