| If you were to choose 1 from 3 tire choices, which?????
I have three 2.2 size tires in consideration for the TLT-1/TLT-10. The Imex Swamp Dawg, the HPI Geolander or the Pro-Line Masher2000. Now I now there are alot of opinions, but I'd like to run the softest tire and after reading I thinking the Imex Swamp Dawgs are gonna be the best choice for a soft tire. What are some recomendations and opinions, I can get all three thru the LHS, Thanks JimC |

Well, the imex and the masher are about equally as soft, though I think more grip is available from IMEX's compound. I've never felt or used the geolander tire, but you have to realize too its .5" smaller than the other tires.

I've got both the Swamp Dawg & Masher in my hand. I think the masher will crawl better. It seems a bit tackier and I think the design is better for crawling. But the swamps look WAY COOLER!. I'm going to try both and make a honest opinion.

From what we(ORCRC guys) have seen is that the the Geolanders work way better than the Swamp Dawgs, even with their shorter overall height. Very sticky and hook to everything even when things get muddy. Between the Swamp Dawgs and Mashers... Mashers hands down. Not only are they a bit taller but much more sticky to the ground. Out of those 3 to pick from(Mashers, Swamp Dawgs or Geolanders), I'd go with: #1 Mashers #2 Geolanders #3 Swamp Dawgs If you are going for that scale look then the Swamp Dawgs would be a better choice as they look cool but if you want performance then pick one of the other two. |

I would have to go with toyofast on this one. The swamp dawgs look cool as sh!t. But the Geos and Masher 2ks have a better rubber compound. And they grip so much better. #1 Masher 2ks #2 Geolanders #3 another set of Masher 2ks |

I've always been really fond of the swamp dawgs where I drive, the masher 2K's I had just never really gave me the traction to get up and over ledges like the swamps do. But keep in mind that I crawl mostly on very aggresive sand rock so the design of the swamper helps it more then anything. |
