does the savage XL use the same hex size on the wheels as the savage X
 
They both use 17mm, or should. HPI included 14mm and 17mm hexes with their trucks for a while.

The XL tires are big and floaty though. You will likely have to go down on the CB.
 
I did that and now going back to smaller tires...
 
alright,,good to know..i really don't like the stock tires i was just wanting to try something different

Yeah, I did the same. Tried out 3.8" trenchers. They were just too big and floaty on a nitro for me. I like the throttle/truck response on nitro to be quick and snappy. You can overcome that extra rotational mass somewhat with gearing, but it still didn't feel great to me. Just running a set of 3.8" traxxas talons now. Save the trenchers for my brushless trucks as they seem to deal with the mass better.
