Review,, 1.9 Pit Bull Growler, Prototype

Ran two batteries through my Troober with the Growlers mounted up. I'm discovering that the dual stage closed cell foams are a bit stiff for anything under 10 lbs. they seemed to work a bit better on the Troober yesterday but just don't seem to conform good enough for me. The tires worked great, but I was getting hung up on everything with them being only 4.75" tall (unlike the 5.25-5.5" tires I usually run). I think I'm going to swap out the outer foams before the comp Sunday. I'm going to take my GoPro and have somebody film my runs so you can all see them in action. Funny.....even with all that mud caked in the tread, I was walking right up some difficult climbs.

The Troober looks badass as a convertable with that headlight missing. "thumbsup"
 
Looking great. Like the larger footprint as well as height. Cant wait to get on some Aussie rocks

Where is everyone pre ordering from? I wanna get my mitts on these when they are released...
 
Thanks for the info guys. I saw them over at RPP, just saw out of stock. Didn't think to add to cart. Will pre-order shortly...Thanks again
 
I got my new rig temporarily wired up and took it to Highrocks for some testing. Lucky me, it's been raining all day but I had a short break and decided to try things out. Started with a climb that I've had problems with in the past.
Few more pics.




New rig looks great Tim. Looking forward to seeing it in action this weekend. Wow, no hard body:shock:
 
Closed cell 4.5 inners and standard outers. Medium in back, soft in front. The standard outers just work better for me (crawling on rock and slower speed stuff).

Agreed.

Dual Stage was created for ROCK CRAWLing.

Single Stage was created for everything else.

The dual stage closed cell is still being tested. It has completely different characteristics that are still being learned.
