Default Badlands 2.2
Does nayone know when we will be able to pick up the badlands 2.2 tires? I would like to give them a try on the snow covered rock, seeing that in Utah we tend to have lots of snow and a comp. next sunday.

I've been testing them and have put them up against Losi Claws and Moabs M3's.
With totally unbiased and equal testing, the Badlands are outperforming both.....yes....even the Claws. Looks for the review very sooon.

I have a set on pre order. I'll be sure to give them a thorough review. Hey, that gives me an Idea. I have a set of losi's, a set of soft rubicons, and now a set of Badlands, and sets of axial beadlocks...........

I smell a shootout!!!!

It's biased based on your Terrain though. Badlands might be the new ticket for Dirks little playland in Colorado.

Should be noted though, in say Minnesota or Tennesse these tires could be as useless as stock X-Factor tires.

Good point.
they work great on this slick rock type stuff.
The terrain in California where they dominated was jagged rock and boulders

I will say they do appear to be a great new tire but Better? Only time will tell. There was a set running at our comp saturday

They ended up in 12th place right behind 11 sets of claws. Yep total domination

I've run the same lines with each tire....all on my rig. The Badlands were better on everyline I tried.....period. It was at Palmer Park on slickrock type stuff. I ran the courses that we had at the comp a couple of weeks ago and they were way better than the mOabs and were doing things the claws could not.
How experienced was that driver????

Touche....

A couple of us did a little shootout after the comp. The Badlands were unable to make 2 lines the claws did.

Like I said they appear to be great tires but time will tell. It is way too soon to be saying things like "dominated" when they did not.
