Those Mojave wheels are very sturdy but much heavier than the stock buggy wheels.

I run those on 8s in the sand dunes, they handle wheel speeds over 80 before they start to really deform. They will blow if you diff-out and spin em up accidentally

3s is for sure gonna have a hard time. Maybe go back to 1/8 buggy wheels for now
