The only 17mm hexes that I'm aware of that are made for the Revo or Maxx trucks are the traxxas splined 17mm hexes, everything else IMO would be considered an adapter. I bought a set of HoBao (OFNA) adapters for about $25w/s&h off ebay. Just make sure you use loctite on everything when you do it.

I have no experience with the mashers, I would assume they are similar to the E-MAXX tires. They will last a long time and aren't to bad for general bashing but mith my MAXX Chevron tires the truck had to much side bite on ashphalt and was constantly flipping. I wound up putting Talons on my MAXX. The Badlands are a great bashing tire, they must betaped on the inside though, otherwise they baloon to dinner plates! Truck will still slide on ashphalt instead of flipping and contrary to popular belief they can be used in racing! LOL Maybe not on a dry loose track but when it gets muddy they actually perform pretty well, they don't get caked up with mud. Your tire selection should be based on what your running on. If it's mostly on road then get something better suited for that, if your looking for an A/T that will see alot of dirt I would go with the badlands, if its going to see mostly road and a little dirt mashers would prolly hold up better on the road. Most of all, just get the tire you want! If your not happy, they're beadlocks, you unscrew them and get a different set of tires!
