well at least the 2.2's wont be low profile stadium truck style. and the 3.0 is 5" so a mutant 2.2 will be pretty easy.

why is that everyone that wants a tall tire is a newb. you guys ever think not all the terrain in the world is like what is in your backyard?

The 2.2 is also 5 inches. Why make a mutant?


To be competitive, 5 inches is about as tall as you'd want to go with the 12.5 inch wheel base rule.

i thought you said they were 2.2 moab height my bad there are no specs on the proline page you think you could post up a few here so no one else makes a fool of them self's. a moab isnt 5" tall
I agree 5" is as tall as I would want for a rock crawling comp even here.

so how tall is the 3.0 the 12.5" wheelbase rule is great but a 14r may be a reason to go taller.

The moab is just about 5 inches. Listed at 4.95.

The 3.0 is five inches.

M2? Did I read that right? Why not M3 so it can compete with the Losi tires?

how many years has it been?? and people still can't figure out a Clod 2.2 rig is basically useless, like a 2.2 tire bigger than 5"'s.

M2

M3 would allow the lugs to fold over and be useless.
These will compete with the Losi's

A 2.2 Clod took 3rd at the 2006 Nationals. Grover is up in your area nowadays.

I'm glad they are in M2 compound, like you said Dirk, I think the M3 would allow the treads to fold over too easily.

Sweet, they'll be perfect "for the MX’er in you."

Funny that they advertise them "for the MX’er in you" then publish the pictures of them on a crawler. Seems like they didn't want to come right out and call them a crawling tire. Could that be so that if they don't work for crawling they can just say, oh they weren't intended for that.

Odd, a Clod worked pretty well for me last year. :?

Tires look great, may have to pick a set up.

These were not originally designed or intended for crawling. In fact, they were supposed to be 4.5 inches tall or less, to be used for the rear of a stadium truck. I believe the pictures were just taken today and put on the crawler very quickly for the release.

Sounds like fear in the Losi drivers already. haha

yep, Chad is here, nothing too impressive in 2.2 in awhile but his Super class game is very good. I see Chad coming on strong once he gets his GC-1 dialed in, the guy can drive.

You have to admit a 2.2 Clod is a very dated rig compared to what is out there now and were we are in the 2.2 class as of this year. The Clod 2.2 is just too big and heavy for today's standards is my opinion.


Back to the Badland 2.2's. I have messed with that tread design and really liked it. The draw back was I did a hybrid off an 1/8th scale tire and it was a little too short of a tire. I see good things with this new tire.
