I am gonna be disapointed if the are shorter than the rox lox! I was actually hoping it would be just a smidgen taller. I am wanting a set of of 1.9's that are close to 4.75". The only option I have for that is to cut down some 2.2 rox lox but they would be to wide.

4.35" would be nice.

Yes the Flat Irons come in around 4.2" so this would make the TSL SX a tad taller.
Looks can be deceiving.

If he didn't have them side by side then maybe since they're saying 4.35 then hopefully they're a little taller but I do like them being that tall and narrower.

a comparison pic from PRO-LINE would be nice. taller is awesome. but definitely not more narrow.

jbeane · 06-28-2010, 08:29 PM

if there that tenth taller than the flatirons, they will be my new tires. if not, im prolly going with the rokloks

Rocket · 06-29-2010, 12:00 AM

Those and the older style TSL (1.55 stomper from RC4WD) are two of the coolest scale tires around!
Thanks Proline!

jimmyb · 06-29-2010, 03:31 AM

Like the fact they are brand named the same as the real ones. Shame the Iroks not the same.

I am with ya Chip!

I love me some mud bugs but some ole time Tejas BBQ can't be beat. I give props to some other states for trying (most notably North Carolina and least notably Tennessee, lived both places), but they just can't hang with us for slow smoked meats!

2.2 is still in production. They are trying to get a good size locked down for them. ETA about 3 weeks till release

This info direct from proline

I don't get it. The Pro-line site doesn't mention the tire anywhere I can find. Tower doesn't show them either. Just have to wait I guess. But looking at the picture in the first post, assuming it's a 1.9 it has got to be bigger than the Flat Iron.

Any of you sponsored guys have some insight? Brandon maybe

Rocket · 06-29-2010, 04:16 PM

Swampers rule! I love the sx2!
Keep rolling in more scale tires all youz venders!

(Geez I have too many tires!)

country_crawler · 06-29-2010, 06:17 PM

Maybe I missed it some where but why are they siped TSL's? The RC4WD 1.55 Rock stomper is the same exact thing as a factory TSL but these are cut?

The Proline tires are TSL SX's, notice the extra tread on the side. The SX's had a much more durable sidewall than the TSL.
You are right that the Proline tires have been grooved, the 1:1 tires worked better with the center lugs cut like that.

I hope these aren't square like the 1:1 SX's.

country_crawler · 06-29-2010, 06:26 PM

I noticed the extra tread on the side and it sent off a light bulb in my head that its a SX. But i was hoping it would be just regular, and if it was i was going to "Tennessee Cut" mine. (If you would like to see some Tennessee cut TSL's, they are whats on coleworx buggies.

These are a TSL SX 2. They are cut like that from interco. Sidewalls are different from the TSL also. Tried to find a pic for you but no luck.

Edit: Griz beat me to it.

country_crawler · 06-29-2010, 06:30 PM

Oh, okay. I've never ran any TSL's what I know about them is what i observe from 1:1's in person. Alot of people run them around here, but there usually, cut but not like that, and IMO around here they can't hold a candle to the iroks.

I didn't know the SX2 was cut like that. I never seen an SX2 before and can't find a pic. Thanks for the lesson.

EDIT:
Just found this pic:

I'm familiar with the TN cut.
