I like them. They work great on this high grip rock. I'll have to go to my slick rock spot soon. With the stock foams they impressed me, and the size is nice for the gaps and holes. They'll still wrinkle up like the Panthers, but the stock foam pops it right back. They side hill pretty good and if they do fold, they seem to fold out instead of under the wheel. The little ribs inside the tire push it out I guess.

these tires really add to my AKRCC DEIMOS CHASSIS. My rig has never been as good as it is right now. I am a happy camper.

I got some video that 'll try to get up later.

Here's some video of the Deimos with some Hotbody Tires. I sure like them, in the video I'm using the stock foams. I like the foam not being tall enough. It allows for more contact area. The ribs on the insine really help to keep the tire from folding under. I tried to wade them up ,but the stock foam puts it back into shape pretty quick.

Nice Rick! That rig of yours looks like it could crawl over anything! I loves those new tires from HB. Great video! Looks like you making me spend more money again!

Great lookin rig man!! I can't wait to get my HB's in and test them out on my berg, almost 5 weeks now I've had them on order and nothing yet :-( A little OT, but what song is that and who sings it?

Thanks , I'm not sure what song that is , it just sounded good to me.

ROCKEDUP RICKY · 12-14-2008, 06:32 PM

I'm loven this rig, at the comp this weekend there was 3 courses and 27 gates. I pulled off a -27 for the day.

ROCKEDUP RICKY · 01-13-2009, 03:48 PM

Check out my body nuts. I guess thats what you'd call them. See those little black squares, thats where my body pins use to be. I got tired of them popping off and hanging up on the rocks. So I threaded the bodypost and made these thin rounded off body nuts out of derlin . They haven't fell off yet and they don't get hung up on the rocks.

Nice Idea Ricky. Keep us updated with the results.

You know there is another option right? Top posts almost never get caught on rocks.

TURTLE · 01-13-2009, 08:29 PM

Can I see more on these body posts? You caught my interest and sounds like a great idea.

run2jeepn · 01-13-2009, 08:53 PM

Thats a great idea... I'm going to try that on my sons Axial.

dezfan · 01-13-2009, 09:01 PM

Slick idea there Rick, rig looks great.

I send so much time on my lid, they were getting hung up there too. I don't like the looks of them either.
