I started cutting out one row of lugs(pins) to give some more void. They are the best super tire I've tried but a little short for a really long wheel base.

Although....if these came out in a Super Tire.....about 7 inches tall.....nothing would touch them.
Hey..........why is that one set all shiny and black looking? They look extra sticky for some reason.

MMMM extra sticky... so you think 16" WB would be to long for them? If I remember right the Mashers & Mulchers I run on all my old 16" WB Supers were fine hight.

I ran them with a 17wb and it was a tad long. It think 16 would be perfect. Just like the old Masher days.

I also threw a body on and a 6 cell NIMH battery in and tested it out a bit last night.

After some tightening of the slipper, some more tightening, and yet some more tightening, I was able to see how it actually does on the rocks (NOTE: The rocks for this test run consisted of some concrete steps and 4 foot piles of crusty snow, oh, and my cat's tail ) A slipper on a crawler is a new thing for me... Funky, funky feeling.

My initial run went quite well and I'm pleased so far. Although it is hard to get a real feeling for how it is and where I need to start tweaking things when all the real rocks are half buried in snow. I can't wait to get it on some actual rocks.

Picks with the test body on it (I'll be painting up a new Grapler in Team RCC colors soon):
