New Savage XL Terra Pin Tires: HUGE!

[killjoyken]

I picked up a set of the new Terra Pin tires from the XL and they are massive! There's so much sidewall that even after huge 15ft + jumps, the chassis won't bottom out. And with so much tire spinning, it's easy to pull double backflips with ease.

Traction is excellent on dirt, but the tall sidewalls make high speed runs on pavement almost impossible. Over 35mph on pavement the truck starts to wander and become very unstable. But off road they are fantastic. All that extra sidewall helps to absorb rough terrain far better than the Dirt Bonz they replaced.

The Maximizer beadlocks managed to hold the tires without popping a bead, so they're worth the extra money to me. The Super Heavy Duty XL dogbones are also holding up perfectly. Too bad I blew out another rear diff. My fault really. A couple of nitro guys showed up at the BMX track and I just had to show off. Oh well, at least the diff gears are easy to replace.
