Interesting find there. I might even be tempted myself to get a set. I say go for it. Very Happy

I have 2 sets and they are great value for money. The only issue I found is the screws are "about" 1.5mm and some time they strip out the hex when you do them up. I just replaced the dodgey ones with some out of my axial ones.

Well these tyres arrived yesterday and seem to be quite soft. They are a little smaller than the current mud thrashers but should be good. Now just need to mount them and try them out when I get a free moment.

Yes they do feel a bit sticky.
Here are some pics for comparison against the mud thrashers I have. Just be aware the new tyres aren't mounted yet and are just sitting on the rim. Also the foams are a little stiff so might have to do something with them or get some softer ones and they are a slightly smaller tyre as well.

Here are the comparison side by side shots:

And here they are mounted:

VS the Mud Thrashers:
what does everyone think of these  IMG_0336
what does everyone think of these  IMG_0333
what does everyone think of these  IMG_0334

As I said they are a bit smaller and a bit wider so the front is fine but the rearrubs on the body when tucking.

What's everyones thoughts? These will most likely be mounted on the white steel OEM beadlocks from RC4WD when I get them.

Hey Jarrod

Mate I am a big believer of big rolling stock. Not sure about these in my humble opinion. I'd have gone for something larger. But then again that may start you off in a direction that you don't want to go, the endless world of modifying. LOL

Good to see how they go on the dirty stuff though. Have you got that wheel speed back yet ?

i like the look of them alot.

with the scx10 diffs(huge) i agree totally with scotty. but with your IFS front you can afford a slightly smaller tyre setup and if they are wider again it will only be a gain in stability side of your truck.

just gotta drive them now mate haha proofs in the puddin as they say
