What are some good tire upgrades for my Senton 3s?

I'm new to the hobby and learning as I go, so any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Hi Grux,
I used for kids Proline Trencher. They fit on stock Arrma wheels;

I say stay with the stock wheels and 14mm hex, and buy unmounted tires. You can buy a set of new wheels, or if you have the stock wheels with the tread gone, unglue them by leaving them overnight in acetone and reuse the wheels.
That's way you wont be limited to wheel type.
I personally interested to try those cheap 11$ ebay tires once my stock ones will be finished.
(note that they come unglue, so i don't intend to use the wheel)
 
Any advantage/disadvantage of converting to 17mm?
 
I think that the 14mm wheels have 3mm-4mm offset that the 17mm variants do not. i converted to 17mm but the lost track width looked funny and was less stable, so i changed back.
 
Any advantage/disadvantage of converting to 17mm?

In my mind, there's a better rim/tires options (mainly all buggy 1/8 wheels/tires will fit);

I used HPI wheels and Duratrax C2 on Senton 6s.

so will they fit on standard 3s senton rims

The buggy 1/8 tires has a larger ID and they won't fit.
But from what I understand, the Arrma wheels and Duratrax have the same ID: 76 mm
The outer diameters are 56 and 58 mm... I have never put Duratrax tires on Senton 3s, but I think it could fit.
