|  Rock Bashers vs. Rock Claws
Anyone have experience with using the new blue compound tires for the MRC? Which style seems to be working better, the Claws or the Bashers?  |

All I can say is that I have the new bashers and it is such a dramatic improvement from the stock claws. It's literally a whole different crawler. I have not tried the blue claws but I'm sure they rock. I'm just not in the crowd that orders 2 sets of new tires just to compare differences. Those people are out there and I'm sure they will post soon. Down the road I will probably order some claws for comp situations giving me the ability to choose the best tire depending on terrain. For now I am happy with the bashers, they are sick and I like the new design. Getting new tires were the easy part, it was getting wheels to mount them on that was challenging for me and I can relate to those out there that don't want to drop 100+ on wheels. The new 1.9 axial's will be out soon enough, until then you got to pay if you want to play. I was lucky and had something to trade. |

I have driven my bashers side by side with the claws and I would say claws definately out perform the bashers! forward bite seemed quite a bit better with claws and it seemed like when I got a tire sucked into a hole the bashers would almost wedge themselves into it and wouldn't come out but the claws would pull themselves out. I will have claws in a couple days and I will let you know what i think! |

I got a set of the claws and a set of bashers. Between the two the claws performed better in my opinion. There where spots that the bashers seemed to out perform the claws though. But for overall crawling I think the claws take it. I also put the memory foams in the fronts and a blue foams in the back.

i have the bashers and they are definatly a lot better than the stock claws. personally i bought the bashers because i have scale moon buggy project in mind and thought they had a more scale apearence to them. im pretty sure the blue compound claws would be better for comp type rig; the rock claw tread pattern is tried and true |

Would it work if i just ordered on set of the blue claws and put them on the front? Isn't the front where the most traction is needed?
