I say that Pooyota has to be about the most inspiring truck ever. I can't wait for the Yotalift to come out so I can start my Chino Clone.

Kermit · 10-20-2007, 04:03 PM

This is one awesome truck!

I'd be to afraid to drive it!

tmyjeeper · 10-21-2007, 06:40 PM

Well, here are a few more shots of the clone from out in Moab.

Thanks for letting me steal the clone for a few hours in Moab.

1BadJeepBruiser · 10-22-2007, 10:57 AM

The clone is probably my favorite truck to drive, its super scale and very capable but in a realistic sort of way. I think it missed out on being a submarine though

getting deeper...

O boy...

Cooler floats

Enjoy

looks good 1BJB. those are some great pics.

obijuan · 10-22-2007, 02:44 PM

hey mike, im sure it has been said before but how well do you think those claws perform? i think they look awesome and feel ok on the desk but im not too sure on real rock situations. it seems to me when they would get dirty they would lose traction because of the large contact lugs and not so much edges. i have a 1.9 set and they look great but where do they excell and where do the suck? thanks alot!!

To be honest with you, they really arent to bad, Yesterday they worked 100x better then the trail doctors did on the XJ. The trail doctors spun like crazy on the wet rocks and all through the water. Maybe its the v-tread design of the claws was helping paddle through the water. In Moab, I pretty much climbed most of anything I needed to. On real steep climbs itll get some torque twist and the lifts the one front wheel and its all down hill from there. For the most part, they work ok for what I do, and I think they are the best looking cut down and reduced tire. I noticed they work better now that they "broke in"...yes thats right, an IMEX tire is showing some wear

They will however most likely be replaced once the new 1.9s from rc4wd are available as I still wanted a taller scaler looking 1.9

chino63 · 10-22-2007, 11:41 PM

I agree with Mikey. I ran them for quite a while on the tan scaler and they worked very well for what they are. A decent all around tire. My only gripe was the small size. Wet traction wasn't all that great, they spun like mad but were able to make some pretty gnarly lines during the wet season. After I replaced them with the Proline Dirt Hawgs, I got spoiled and couldn't go back. Still have them though. Can't seem to get rid of em.
