That new truck is awesome. I'll be getting one real soon...

They seem like they'd be really fun to race in a stock motor spec class.

looks like a stadium truck to me.
ive never seen a desert/baja truck with the tires a foot out side the fenders.

It looks cool but the tyres are way out of scale. I recon one of those bodys on a set of Rc4WDs 1.9s would look awsome.

I read somewhere that they are made out of the same compound as the rock claws!

 

[2JSC]

Yeah - Rich said they are made of the blue compound, same as the Rock Claws.

I don't care if it's 100% scale or even looks 50% what they claim, I still want one! This will be by far a much better choice than a Rustler, especially RTR.

Those are really sweet looking tires.

I have already ordered these in and added to my site guys "thumbsup" I do not see an eta yet but I wanted to make sure I had them coming anyways! Should be interesting to see how they do compared to the rock claws? They sure look awesome! So does the truck too "thumbsup" "thumbsup"

 

[Calderwood]

How tall are they?

 

[microgoat]

Those will replace the Geos on the Fj40 fo sho "thumbsup"

Oh yes....

Tires look to tightly packed to be useful, on offroad surfaces.

Truck looks like a normal xxx race truck dressed up.

You guys know that they are 320 series tire right? Not 2.2's.

That should be fine they look like there's enough tread to cut out. I just hope they are the same compound as rock clawls.

Another interesting tire to see how you narrow it since if you narrowed it in the middle it would be a lot like a slinger but more flat or a baja claw.

Hi Guys,
Some info on the tires for you.
First let me say that these were not designed for crawling. I had to make a tire that would hold up to higher speeds. This tire has ribbing on the inside and of course a tighter tread pattern for a more "realistic" look. The tire will come in Blue compound (same as Rock Claws). The wheel size is 2.2 just like the claws but the overall height is 4.35". It's bigger than our standard race truck tires, but smaller than the claws.
They should be available around the middle of May or so. I'll keep you guys posted as we get closer to shipping.

Thanks,
Rich

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Right on! Thanks for the info.

The last time I "fell in love" with a tire just by seeing a picture on the Internet, I ended up being 70 bucks poorer and feeling very disappointed...

 

[Almighty Malach]

Hey Rich, what are the chances we could get a 5" tall tire with that tread pattern and no internal ribbing?
