Anyone still use moabs?

[Stallion1967]

^...or am I the only one??

[Barnaby]

I do, although those new Flatirons look pretty tempting. I guess when these wear out...

[Stallion1967]

I am thinking of switching over to some claws or maybe some of prolines new tires.

[joemomma95]

I've still got the M3's mounted to the crawler. I'm working on a somewhat new idea with my M2's just need a few more and they'll be ready to test. Also working on an idea for the M3's, trying to stiffen up the sidewalls a little...

[rcprojectz]

i do, perhaps until the tire worn out...

Love mine (M3's). Stiffened the sidewall and they have become just about perfect. Just to let you know my cobra is well over 7 pounds.

[breitenbach14]

no i run rock lizards that came on the axial till they were out and then im going for the =]ROCK CLAWS

[littleskull99]

I still use them, They have been cut and shut and work quite well.

[Nerve]

Hmmm ... still?

I just bought mine november last year... LOL. They are new to me ;)

However, I do have some claws on order for new rims.

These aren't mine, but I think that is great way to use moabs. I am going to try it.



These are mine, and are a great way to use moab side walls:

Well I was at ECC this past week-end and running Moabs. They really didn't fair all that well, Rock Claws were certainly the tire of choice and to place. For backyard crawling I would stay with the Moabs but if you're wanting to compete ya may want to take a look at whats winning. (Losi Rock Claws)

Doesn't sound like anyone faired well at ecc??

[nascarkeith]

I am still running cut and shut 1.9 moabs and they work great.

[JBHardwear]

I run mine in comps and I love em

I'm still running mine from last winter but they seem to be drying out pretty bad since new. Any tips on grooving or softening out there? I sanded them flat again to get the hard edge back on the lugs but they still don't work like I want.

P.s. Please don't suggest new tires. I still got tread left on these so I wanna try and make them work

Don't know about grooving but to get the sticky back in them soak them in Simple Green, I put 2 tires in a big ziplock bag and sprayed Simple Green all over them, let em sit for a day or 2 and they look and feel like new.

Thanks Joe. Not a bad idea. I got in the habit of cleaning with simple but haven't tried soaking them yet. Can I be lazy and leave my axial bl's?
