macro69camaro- I was running NWTT hybrid reach foams in front with 6.5-7 oz on the MSDs (vented) and rockhammer reach foams with 3 oz on the prolines. The prolines were sealed (airtight) Update - now running two foams in each rear. 1 red kreepy and 1 Panther memory foam with great results. I cut the foams into 1/4's them alternate them within the tire. I now run the prolines vented with this foam setup with better results. |

Well I have this to say, in most situations these tires excel compared to my Claws, Mashers, and Badlands. I am having a small testing problem, they keep shredding my front ring and pinion, I have done 2 in one battery pack!! All the other tires I have ran I have not stripped one. That tells me something-TRACTION!!! Nothing on the rig has changed except I am running less weight.

I have expressed my likes and dislikes with the tires and the cases where I believe the claws are better. In fact, I hated one compound that was used in testing so bad that I was going to throw them away at a comp but someone wanted them instead. Glad to see you poking the hornet's nest, Jason. I thought by now that I would have pi$$ed you off to the point you would ignore or ban me ;) Give me a call sometime if you feel like sparring about a few things.... - David | |

I just got my panthers yesterday, they don't hold in my rc4wd true scale's very well and on one tire the bead was close to a 1/4 inch too big. I could slide the whell right through it without touching the sidewalls. So far I'm not happy with them at all.

Wow, tell us how you really feel don't hold back this time...LOL I have read about some having a hard time keeping them on the bead....? I had the first set of prototypes to hit the rocks so they have been on for a while, I wanted to try another foam set up, so I took all the screws out (msd's) and had to pry the bead loc ring off with a screw driver. and pull hard to get the tire off the wheel. IB.. | |

yeah, i had them mounted on my sinners for less than a week, wanted to add some more foam in the rears and also had to pry the ring off of the tire, seemed like it was actually glued onto the tire. it was crazy! i never had a tire stick like that to a ring before. the softness and the compound of the tire is incredible.

As long as someone spends a little time tunning the cougar tire to work with there rig and maybe a little time tunning the rig to work with the tire there is no way You can say this tire is not way ahead of the others. Yes it is thin but that is a good thing . By being thin it allows it to react to foam and suspension changes. As for it not staying on the bead on most wheels I know as a fact that you will not pull it off a VF wheel and by the end of the week we will know about the how it stays on the new Mayhem wheel. If you look at most of the beadlocks i think the problem is that where the inner bead of the tire sets on the wheel is machined to far back from the surface where the ring bolts on. On the VF wheel it is even with the bolt surface. This coul be fixed by a simple trip to the machine shop and have them mill down the bolt surface so that the gap between the beadlock ring and the inner bead is no so wide.Then the clamping force would be greater . But i know that most people are to lazy to do that and just want everything to work perfectly straight out of the box. Oh yeah and these tires suck because you have to tune them.  |

Anyone who says these tires suck is a damn fool and should stop crawling all together. They might not be perfect for you in your situation but if you say they suck then either you have the worse foam set up ever or you absolutely don't know how to drive. Yeah, there might be a tire that is better in some circumstances, but that's what makes different products great. I was a huge skeptic when I got mine, but I'm sold now. Am I getting rid of my Losi's, no, but I doubt I will run them nearly as much anymore. |

I think we all need to remember that no amount of money or parts can make up for shitty driving. (Joey....) |

Dang Joe I think you need some bigger rocks. That climb with 1:20-1:25 left on the timer was awesome, climbing up that face while side hilling it | |
