Are they well worth buying them? Are they much better than the stock tires/rims?I paid £50 (GBP) for the Big Joes, inc tax in the UK. Typical price conversion means that I would expect to pay $50 plus tax in the US.
Absolutely. More grip in all conditions, harder wearing and look better too. The only downside is that in high grip situations they are almost too grippy which can lead to rolling if you are not careful.Are they well worth buying them? Are they much better than the stock tires/rims?
Burn the oem rim/tyres in a fire
I've got a couple of XS, one for me and one for my son.

His is almost standard, just some HD components, CVD's and Big Joes.
Mine has a few more upgrades.
GPM Aluminium Shocks
GPM Hubs
Traxxas 2075 Servo
CVD's
HD Centre Drive Cups
Spektrum DX4S radio with AVC
Awaiting Castle 3800kv motor
Big Joe 2 tyres

IMHO the best upgrades were the Big Joes, followed by the Spektrum. The Big Joes are superb value and are leagues beyond the standard crap. The AVC is just amazing, gives an unbelievable amount of control on the loose stuff. Really helps when lining up jumps and even gives extra stability in the air.
I wouldn't bother with the aluminium upgrades, already had two front hubs fail and have resorted back to plastic. The shocks don't really offer enough to be worth the cost.
I never had stock tires on mine, so I can't really compare. I do really like my big Joes though.
Where did you find that servo new (they are out everywhere)?Finally ordered the hpi SS-40 servo (got it for $34.95 and free shipping) and the Big Joes for $52.75 with free shipping. Both should be here on the 20th which is friday I believe. Cant wait.
BigBud, take your manual are look for the section on servo replacement. there should be some text and possibly a picture or 2 to help you
I just checked the XS manual, you are correct, it looks to be a real joy to work on....
