|  Dirk Hey Peter (was it Pete or Peter?) I was wondering if you ever finished those hot bodies tires. I was curious to see how they turned out but also in case you didn't like them as much as your kongs, LSTs or whatever else you may be concocting, I might be interested in buying them. I am planning to move my TLT up to maxx wheels/tires, but I don't want too large of tires on it, I also want to run narrowed maxx tires, and had planned to cut some down, but the tires were looking very nice when you were working on them, so thats why I ask. I want to be competition ready for the crawl after the 11th, and that means more power, more rubber, more clearance, and more wheelbase.  |

| Re: Dirk Dirk said it, those tires are huge! They are the size of pro-lines 40 series or bigger. Dont think I'd try them on TLT axles. |

| Re: Dirk I am trying to get some stock savage tires from my friend for the time being, and if I like the idea enough, I will get some Jumbomaxx Claw dogs and narrow them to 2" or so. They are 6.25" tall, which I think will be just right. |

| Re: Dirk Holy cow. The savage tires are massive, and they are 5.9"... I am thinking they are the tires I will stick with. unfortunately I only got two, because he wrecked a tire trying to get it off the rim, and most of the rims had no inner hubs because he blew them out with his high power motor, but it'll give me a starting point |
