HARDTRAILZ
Pebble Pounder
Nice write-up. I am running a set as well and will say they definitely do the job. I tried a couple different foams..proline and some homemade ones and was never really happy. I just got a set of Nova's in them and plan to run them tonight and see how they work.
My only difference in opinion is the mounting. My 1 inch wide delrin wheels are great to mount to, but the extreme width of the tire made mounting the second side a bit of a chore. The beads are great and once you set them clamped down they have no issues.
I have about 20 packs on them and have little to complain about. They are extremely sticky when new, but I really think that as they are breaking in, they are getting better and better. I plan to run these for awhile and with the new changes, in weight and foam, I am hoping they work even better.
I understand the thoughts of price and no foams, but everyone seems to change foams or modify foams, so I can see why they may feel it unnecessary to include them. The price is not super-cheap, but I think it is a great value. They seem to work and have all the right features. As with their full-size tires....You pay for what you get. They have proven themselves in the 1:1 arena and seem to be on track to do the same in the 1:10 area.
