Way to go RC4WD. THESE TIRES KICK ASS! Great size, good compound, super soft and sticky. They hook up good on loose dirt. Havent really tried them on rock, but I got a comp tomarrow so well see.

glad you like them Terminator! :cool: Let us know how the comp goes. You'll love the noise they make on the rocks! You'll need some wheel speed for smooth rock steep climbs though.

I was less then impressed with them honestly. Look great and all but, not good for a comp rig. 1.9 class only allows a 55t motor with a 2cell lipo max. You arent going to see much wheelspeed from that combo. I tested them on sandstone, limestone, bedrock and concrete today. They worked best on the sandstone but, I slip and slide over any smoother type rock. Maybe if the lugs were just a bit taller and compound a bit softer ;)

that is TSC rules though usrcca rules you could run a 35 turn or a fast out runner.. and get the wheel speed needed... I watched them last weekend on termites rig which was way to light IMO and they did pretty well..

But thats not what im running for at least a year ;)His rig isnt a crawler either. Like I said good for scaler bad for crawler. IMO Buy whatever you want though dont let me stop you. :D

I had allready made my decision on the tire based on tread pattern I knew I would pass.. :p

scaler or comp rig I want tires that work.. so far out croppers work the best for 1.9 OEM tires..

now get the knife and glue out and I can find alot better tires..:D

I think that is the only choice at this point;)
