Tire choices

My 2.8" DIY panthers are great. Same height with PL sand paws but narrower. In my opinion, if you want performance go for DIY panthers but if realism is what you seek PL 2.8" sand paws are way cooler

All you need to make your own 2.8" DIY panthers:

5x 2.2 panther paddle (2.5 sets)
4x 2.8" rear wheel (2 sets) - I prefer PL Desperado
1x tire glue
1x scissors

And the rest you can figure out yourself.

don't rule out the Panther Cobras. And ignore the fact that one is backwards in this pic :lmao:

With my crawler innovation closed cell foams these things are nice!


 
ive just ordered some g-made 2.2...not my 1st tire choice but looking at them I thing they should work ok on dirt compared to sand
