Thank you Nick

Yes the wheels are stock Maxx size, 3.2 wheels. They're a 5 piece bolt together beadlock....2 SUPER light weight stamped Titanium wheel halves, 2 plastic inner bead locking rings, and an adapter that bolts on the back and holds it all together.

The IMEX J-Hawg tires are pretty cool looking, but in my opinion, they are probably not necessarily a great choice for actual bashing...especially brushless. My reason being is that I'm not very impressed with the construction of the tires. While the tread area of the tire is almost excessively rigid and heavy duty, the sidewalls are exactly the opposite...the sidewalls are VERY thin, and seem like they would tear pretty darn easily. Not to mention the foams that came with the tires are EXTRA FIRM, making the tires hard as a rock. So my guess is they will most likely be quite out of balance, and with the extra RPM of a brushless system, things might get a little crazy. haha

I plan to run completely different tires when bashing this monster.

Just my 0.02 though
