Default SAVAGE LST MGT BIG JOES ON AXIAL OVERSIZE WHEELS

i was wondering if SAVAGE LST MGT BIG JOES ON AXIAL OVERSIZE WHEELS would fit my revo and also being heavier if they would make it easier to break the drive axles etc. i have a .28 BB in it so im not worried about power. any input is helpful.

Yes, it will make it easier to break axles because not only are you increasing the weight of the wheels from what you had before, you are also increasing the amount of available traction. You would more than likely have to gear down to compensate and make it easier on the axles, and maybe run the slipper clutch just a tad looser.

You will not need to upgrade the axles if you go with bog joes. I ran them forever on my revo without axle problems with a picco .26 and other hp mods. If you are running 14mm hexes you will need to upgrade to 17 or 23mm though.

axles would be the least of my concern. your gonna need to beef up your diff and trans big time to be reliable. ive got experience with that

I put CEN 7.7 V-treads on my XXL and while I love them, they wreaked havoc on my diffs last year. I had to run my slipper pretty loose to keep the diffs from blowing up.
