|  rc4wd tires
I'm wondering if anyone has tried the crawler 2.2's from rc4wd and if I can get some feed back. looking for a taller 5+" tire to test out a chassis and can't find HB rovers right now, seems there's a shortage. I have thought about panthers and chisels but hear that the rovers are better then both for a couple reasons so i'm looking for something that's in the same ballpark as for function. thnx. |

I have never run the Rc4wd tires but I have seen and felt them and they are not very soft at all, I know TCS has the medium compound rovers in stock, but you really can't go wrong with Panthers

X-Locks are a great tire  The V3 compound is totally different then the old compound. I took 40th out of 86 drivers with these at ECC this past weekend. not bad for a guy that judged all day as well |

ah, you're just doing some advertising - team rc4wd, LOL. so, is the v3 compound on the site, standard for all crawler tires or just specific ones? |

got the 1.9 crazy crawlers that were supposed to be soft. They have awesome sidewall tread and a good height but they're not as soft as the losi or panthers...

TCS Crawlers ECC 09: Results-Pictures Thread And Im not the best driver out there by any means.  I like Panthers and Losis as well and have them in my arsenal . This is just another great choice of tire Yes V3 Compound is now the standard | |

The only 2.2 Tires from rc4wd I would run in a Comp are the X-Locks. The Rocklins Tread fold over to easy. You will have to change the Stock foams out of course.

X-locks and Rocklins are V3. The X-locks are the best comp tire from RC4WD so far. | |
