Rock Crawler
awsome review so far, cant wait till you compare the grabbers to the xlocks...thats what im really curious about.
I could test the same tires and use different foams than you did and get totally different results. You are using a controlled environment when doing the incline testing why change the foams?
Do you adjust your rig for belly height when going testing all these tires?
Going from say a Panther to a Rover is easily 1/4" difference in skid clearance. I can't imagine some of the shorter tires out there. This could alter testing results.
For example:
Tire A
Ideal Foam (list what was used): 9.5
Stock Foam: 6.3
Common Foam: 7.5
Average: 7.76
I agree with Mr. Palacios, most accurate would be to use several different foams in all the tires to show how the tires work with different setups, since the foam setups you are using currently are still just an opinion, even if they are winning comps(because tires alone don't win comps)"thumbsup"
I also agree(and said earlier)doing it right is a big burden for 1 person both financially and with time, but can be done.8)
"thumbsup""thumbsup" Yessir, and thanks for taking the time.I agree 100% and this is what I'm trying to show.
Hey Jarrod Go ahead and use uncut F-400 foams In all the tires .:twisted:
And lets see how FAIR everyone feels this test is then.:lol:
I am not real sure how you would get a Uncut F-400 in the shorter tires but it would give the same foam for testing.
you said the Panthers with crawlr1 foams and the Rovers with crawlr1 foams are the same height? in the pic you posted of the tires from tallest to shortest, the Rovers look like they are a good half inch taller than the Panthers, so what's the deal, do the Rovers lose that much height when mounted that they become the same size as the Panthers and Losi tires (basically losing 1/2" of overall height)? I was gonna get some Rovers for a bit more diff clearance, but if they end up that short when on the truck, I may think again about it...Also, I didn't see your posted heights, widths, and clearances for the Rovers and Panthers as you did for the other tires. If you could throw those up there I'd appreciate it.
