I just ordered a set of losi rock claws for my ax-10. They are replacing the stock ones. Good move or bad move???

STEW<CO> · 11-25-2007, 06:17 PM

Good move, but you already knew that, or you wouldn't have ordered them.

ky_18b · 11-25-2007, 06:42 PM

Good move, just put a set on my ax as well

scrotsbiz · 11-25-2007, 07:22 PM

Thanks guys any draw backs to them?? They should come with foam?? I ordered the form tcs.

LST022752 · 11-25-2007, 08:13 PM

Good move. The lizards are good but the claws are better.

mannysouza · 11-25-2007, 08:35 PM

i've had mine for a two months or so and the other guys with moab m3s don't climb stuff as well as mine does. They rock claws are the way to go!

Slightly smaller diameter, other wise they're great. Yes, they come with foams. Trim the fronts a bit and leave the back ones as is and try it out.

I too have them on order, I hear that they wear faster than other tires, but someone else here stated he/she had them for months. guess that matters on how much they run them. Ether way, I would much rather have a faster wearing tire than one that doesn't grip as well...

yes on the foam, but if you like the way you have your current foam set up, you can just stuff the old foams into the new tires.

They do wear kinda fast, but it works for them. There is alot of tread to wear out.

Use the Losi foams like EeePee describes, the stock Axial foam is too stiff for the Losi's. But the Losi foams are great for a stock foam.

ky_18b · 11-26-2007, 07:51 AM

Yeah I just star cut the fronts and left the rears intact and they work great so far.

xgerstandtx · 11-26-2007, 02:16 PM

good move for sure, i trimmed mine so they look kinda like a gear front and rear. looking back wish i would have left rears full foam only trimmed width a little but they are still a night and day difference from the rock lizards

I hope Santa has the Rock claws in stock .

mannysouza · 11-27-2007, 07:44 AM

I've had mine for two months like I said. I use the crawler all the time. They show wear but still have a lot left. I have a 55T motor so wheel spin is not a factor. I get wheel spin but only on dusty or moss covered rock. IMO I believe that high wheel spin will wear them out quickly. I need to get a few extra sets for my back up crawler and some spares would be nice.

They still arent here dang. I am awaiting the arrival of my claws I cant wait I have all the weight added waiting on tires to mount. Please hurry mailman.
