You guys should all go check out the new tire that Losi is using on their new monster truck if you haven't already seen it. Go to their web site.

Those tires do have alot of wrap around, and knowing Losi...the compound will be soft and sticky...

those do look like nice tires. lots of space between the treads and side biters. whats up with those HUGE shocks!! glad to see another cool monster nitro come out, if it's as durable as a savage i may pick one up.

7 inches tall!!!! That's all I needed to know!
Look at the Losi site and you can get exact dimensions.

Wow, So digler do you predict these will be better than the BFT's? Does anyone know where to buy them yet? What rims will they fit? those things look softer then hell and they look like they wouldn't need much trimming.

I doubt any trimming would be needed. I've heard they will fit maxx sized wheels.
I am going to try and purchase some today.....or at least... order them, if possible.

Where did you find them? If only I didn't need a new servo, Why does being broke have to be so hard?

OHHHH MAN! those tires are baddd! and those shocks are massive 8O 8O . thats definatley my next tire choice, after i see how they preform that is. Whatever happened to Imex's new tire poll? werent they supposed to make some BFG krawler lookalikes?

aww that sucks. i was looking forward to ad some more scale looks to my truck, and not to mention better crawling abilities. i think imex would of made quite a bit of money if tyhey produced the krawlers. :(

We should all e-mail them saying we want them, think a hundred e-mails would get the point across? Hey Dirk did you ever find out where to torder those tires? My swapdawgs are too hard of a compound. Need something tall and soft.

cut the swamp dogs up and they work much better.
You cannot get the losi tires yet.

Allready did that, they are just too hard. What do you think digler? should I wait for the losi tires or go for the BFT's?
DirkDigler

The BFT tires are real nice. Probably perfect after cutting them!
Did you see my post on the Digler Kongs? You should wait for that!
MaxxZilla

I don't know about those kongs, anyone have some used BFT tires they care to sell?

Hey dirk, How did you cut your BFT tires? I have some maxx mashers and I am going to narrow them and cut them.

I narrowed my rims last night, all I have to say is that I wasted my money on the swamp dawgs, these narrowed maxx mashers are better even if they are shorter than my swamp dawgs.

The Losi truck isn't available as of yet... We're expecting ours in a couple weeks... As far as I know ... the tires are R compound... which is really soft... I think they'll be a very good crawlin tire.. :) If you're not too worried about how tall the tire is ,,, , the HPI Savage tire is really good for a short tire... I use them on my Maxx's .. I also have the BFT's...
