I am trying to drive my truck in the snow as some of you may know. And when i do that with the stock tires it moves very slowly because it is spinning so much. (max allmost speed 20kmph) Now that is no good so was wondering what i could do for more traction, i don't really know of any paddle tires and was wondering if ther would be any way to put studs on the tires. Then i can rip up the snow:chainkiller:

Well i checked ebay and they have a few diffrent chains(some may be for real cars or snowblowers) and they are all in the US so i won't be getting them. I am thinking about the paddle tires but don't know if they will fit on my stock savage x? Will they?

technically, studs would only help on packed snow and ice anyway...

Chains are easy to make with chain from a hardware store, a pliers, and a diagonal cutter, and are pretty effective. Check out the "Cold" video at slapmafro.com, we've got chains on a Savage, RC10GT, and HPI NMT.
Paddles work well for snow too, they really throw it around! Seem them in action in our "Deep" video. Yes, Pro-Line's Maxx Paddles will fit your stock Savage X wheels or any other "standard" monster truck wheel.
chains for the tyers they look so cool!! i dont know how well they work but im gessing very well!! i might try and make some myself.
good luck and keep us posted
