I can't find a supplier for these and they don't sell them on their website so there dead to me. Oh and they don't answer a phone.

They just lost tens of thousands in sales because they pissed me off.

Did you try clicking the big red button on the main page? The one that pops up an order form?

Yes dad, but it didn't do anything earlier.

There still dead to me and the tires suck anyways. Zach has had nothing but trouble with them.

I will wait to see how Zach's do but if the great Kaetwo doesn't like them I'll stand in line with him.
I have not seen any testers run them in mud.

I just bought a set of Super 300's and steel tranny gears the other day. I'd like to order them but I'm not spending any more money. The Pitbull order form did say that it was cheaper to ship them to a business address than a residential address though.

Griz, that's the one downfall to these Trail rigs. The bigger they get the more strength & money you have to throw at them to keep them together.

My rig was perfect at one time with plastic drive lines, plastic gears, etc... Now I have $500.00+ into metal this and that and it's heavy as a pig.

I long for the lighter days

Onto the Pitbulls...

After what I've seen from testing with Zach (after he was given permission to show others), I was really impressed. They climbed rocks faces unlike any other tire that I've seen or used and they dig really well in the dirt. As for water and mud...I don't have any experience, but Montana will tell.

Am I worried about Zach having these tires? Yes Zach's a great driver so tires won't win the comp., but at a killer set of equipment and he'll be trouble.

I am however sticking to my guns and building a rig that looks scale first and performs well second. I'm running reduced Rokloks for TTC and narrowed mashers for Trail

Mud is the only thing I don't know about with them. They are good, darn good but like Kaetwo said I don't think it's going to make the difference in the end. I'm 100% expecting someone else to show up with them too.

I have some guys in the Utard crowd that where wondering how the light points faired out.

Basically you need two forward and to backward facing lights, correct?

For example rock lights forward and in the rear?

Thoughts?

Headlights and taillights. They must be white in the front and red in the rear, and they must be on while you are driving the course.
