THIS IS WHAT HPI SAID,HPI Racing is proud to introduce the next level of Savage and truggy performance: Mounted Nubz Tires! The Nubz tires feature an innovative narrow design for accurate steering response and quick acceleration on the track. The high performance rubber compound is soft and sticky, optimized for high grip on dirt tracks. The rounded contour allows consistent traction on uneven surfaces, high grip in the corners, and low resistance on straightaways. The race-tested Nubz tread pattern and soft compound rubber provide superior grip on dirt surfaces for fast lap times. Internal tire ribs allow the use of soft compounds while adding strength to the tire for extreme durability and helping avoid deformation at high speeds. The included precision molded inserts fit perfectly inside the tires, providing accurate support. No trimming necessary! Specially designed dish wheels have a horizontal wheel groove which isolates the glue joint from centrifugal force, increasing the life of the glue for less tire and wheel separation. Oversized 17mm hex design strenghtens the hub/wheel connection to prevent stripped wheels with powerful engines and during extreme driving. The wheel itself is molded from high strength nylon, and the lightweight Race-Fit dish design delivers sleek aerodynamics and protection from dirt. The overall weight of the mounted Nubz tires is 35% lighter than the stock Savage wheel and tire, delivering faster lap times and improved handling. Sold in pairs, the Nubz tires mounted and glued on dish wheels. Three different wheel colors are available: white, black and yellow. Nubz tires fit truggies and buggies that use 17mm hex hubs, and will fit the Savage when used with HPI 17mm Hex Hub Conversion Set (#87229) or HPI Universal Joints with 17mm hex hubs (#87230). For use with the Savage, it must be used with our 17mm Hex Hub adapter
THIS IS WHAT I SAID, I wanted to find a light weight wheel and tire combo that would reduce the stress to the drive train and try to reduce the side
roll and tire expansion you get with most monster truck tires.
I tried dirt bonz first, good tires for sure. But, after a gallon they started to get alot of expansion and alot of
side roll.
So, I tried the HPI NUBZ, my first impression of these when I opened the box was, wow these are small. I put
them on the savage, wow they still looked too small.
After the first run with this setup I was in love. Yes they look too small, yes they slow the truck down do to
the diameter. but they are really cool
My savage acts like a buggy now. turns twice as fast. smooth street acceleration with no ballooning. Very
sticky rubber, they hook up in the street like slicks. o 'ya!
I can honestly say this is the best my savage has ever handled.
I have ran these through theyre paces too.
I jumped the savage into the creek and the tires took in no water and kept the savage above water long enough to retreave it.
I broke a c hub with no damage to wheel.
I would highly reccomend these, they are designed for serious dirt track racing which translates to a all round good combo.
