Mudslingers are working good for me. I had them head to head with another MRC and I could climb steeper rock faces.

I think the 1.9 claws suck Remind me of the stock lizards that come with the scorpion We need a better compound tire

sddill, your right!!! i agree x10!

i was who mike was going against and he did climb steeper stuff then me. but im not 100% sure it was the tires or the 11.1v he was running for wheelspeed. either way the slingers are as good as stockers! we need BLUE compound or i need to make some mini panthers!

I have been testing the blue bashers for a couple of weeks now. They are big improvement over the stock tires. My MRC is running some of the same lines my 2.2 comp rig is.

I did the same test and came up with the opposite result, the Losi's had more grip.

I have Panthers that I cut down to 1.9 they work awesome (they work better then my diff can handle, but I should have a new one tomorrow)

as i said he has 11.1v compared to my stock nimh
another thing is where we are the rocks are very cold right now snow is comeing down into the mountains. and there is mud so the losi's fill up and the slingers still have that big ass tread sticking out.

but i would deffinatly like a set of the panthers just dont know if i trust myself enough to cut a pair up at 40$ a pop. lol

maybe if they were free! - :-P

RC4WD or anyone that is a dealer for their products.

I'm going to go with a set of blue compound Claws when I need a set of tires most likely. The RC4WD tires are cool, but I can't justify the price. And I don't have the patience or skill to cut tires down from 2.2. I did a set of mashers once, ruining one set of tires is enough for me unless I do them in a much different manner. The axle would worry me between the added grip and my heavy trigger finger, bad things might happen.
