Default Is RC4WD Slipping Clues for new products in existing one's...

I was perusing the store trying to make sure I have everything for Crawl'n Camp 3.

I was drawn to the DC-2 as always...there is just something about them.

Looking at listing, it was the same info and pictures of the blue tuber..............................but wait....


All of a sudden there is a Tundra there with the wheels.......and tires...



Looked nice with them on...in fact, it looked really nice with the wheels and....tires...but something wasn't right.



Those tires look smaller...nah, it's the angle of the photo....

No, they definitely look smaller...they look perfect on that rig...

So I did a little CSI work...but didn't come up with anything... Must be the shadows from the pool.

That's what I thought to...but you can see the 19 at the end of the string of numbers...

Must be an illusion...

I see the '1.9 LT' , those look great!

Maybe when the cast rear 'Yota axles ever show up I'll add a set of these tires into my cart.

They are 1.9 and are about as tall as a flat iron I have seen these in person on a RC4wd drivers truck for compound testing about 6 weeks ago I hope they get these going ...

Blue Tuber tires say:

47x17.5x19

Tundra tires say:

15/41.5x19LT

So, I think they are making some shorter baja claws in 1.9... (the reason they look good on the tundra...)

Would love to see some 1.7 options, or at least a few more smaller than 1.9 options that look as great as the DC's.

I agree. I've been asking for 1.7's for years.

I made these 1.7's fit standard hexes. They're from Tamiya Brat.




I think they're perfect for a more stock sized looking wheel.

Come to think of it, if it is a 1.9 tire that would be great to offer your 1.9 tires in different sizes. That way each person could get different sizes to fit thier build rather than just having one size that may or may not fit the build. Im realizing that right now with your 1.55 IROKS. They look great but are too tall and wide for a certain build i have. Now the 1.7's you have coming out, those are the perfect size.

Those smaller Claws would look a lot better on my H2 than the ones currently available, they are too tall for me and don't look right with it.
