Preface:

I could possibly be retarded!

Subject:

Has any one talked about these because i haven't ever heard anyone mentioning them. Either because I am retarded (stated in the preface), they don't work on most rigs, or I am just the coolest kid on the block.
Either way I am putting it up cause i thought that they might help someone who is looking for an almost 7" tire, that is much much much more narrow than anyother tire on the market(yes i know it is a buggy tire), and has great traction. I have the 2.2" and couln't love them more!

you kidding right?

you better go grab an extinguisher

SEARCH!!!!!!

I would think that the lack of sidewall is what holds them back for crawling purposes. And then you would need an adapter to mount them, I would presume.

Why not use the Moab XL?

side wall would suck, but i think someone should try them

HotRodCJ · 03-11-2006, 02:03 PM

is this thread a joke?

superdenk · 03-11-2006, 03:38 PM

7 inches tall huh

Why not try them and report back on how well they work

CustomCrawler · 03-11-2006, 07:43 PM

Buggy tires are about 4.5" tall. And you would need 17mm hex adapters which are hard to find.

maybe if you wanted a really narrow Moab, you could cut the side walls off and glue on some 2.2 side walls

I did it with Badlands (Kindergarten Tires thread) and it worked well. Go for it.

That doesn't mean I'm not a fawkin' retard.

Okay, first off I was just throwing out an idea. I didn't say you had to do it, or even that it would work that well, I just threw it out as an idea. I was reading a mag that quoted them as a "massive 7" tall", and so thats what i put. Since i don't own them I can't go measure them. I DID search and there wasn't much on them, and if there really was then why is everyone making such a big deal about what a BAD idea it is. (An extemely narrow tire, that gives tons of clearance, and is a proven tread, wow how could I be so dumb).
So sorry to all you 40 year old virgins out there that have nothing better to do than rip on people who are trying to learn a few things, and god forbid ask a few questions in the process. What is the use of a forum if everyone has to be so scared of sounding retarded (which was also prefaced at the very beggining)! Thanks for all the wonderful feedback guys!

supercrawlerfreak · 03-16-2006, 02:13 PM

I work at hobby people, but we havn't gotten them in yet. When we get them in Ill look in to all th measurements. and If I like them Ill get them and test them for you.

sound good. And I agree with the whole retard thing If someone doesnt know something then dont make fun of em teach them.

Blood · 03-17-2006, 05:36 AM

the moab tires are not anywhere near 7 inches, they are around 4-4.5
The biggest tires i ever had when I was running buggies was the badlands, and they were super tires, easily the best i had used ( on scottish terrain anyway )
the moab tires would be ok for tlt scale projects possibly, but as people are sayin, the hex would be a bugger!

Your link to Tower says that the tires are for 1/8 scale buggies. If you really wanted to know the size, you should have searched for the size of other 1/8 scale buggy tires on Tower.

If those were 7 inches tall, there would be a few threads here on them.
