You would need to regear slightly for the size yes, the weight, not really. Yes they weight a bit more, but we have tons more torque that we need.

Haven't had any issues on the RC8T drivetrain. :) Then again, drivetrain wasn't my issues with running Baja 5B tires, which are heavier still, on a 5th scale Savage either.

I don't like any of the HPI tires for the Savage; they roll way too much because of weak sidewalls. Not that the ProLines are that much better, but I've had good luck with Badlands and I do like these Trenchers. The nitro Savage runs Big Joes, more for looks than anything.
