Default TSLs or R35 ripsaws?

I am considering some new tires for my wraith. I have the stock RTR ripsaws and a set of cut boggers. My question is are the R35 tires that much better than the RTR tires? And how do they all compare to the proline TSLs? Any help and insight is welcome.

The R35 compound is WAY better than the stock compound. Some people like the Ripsaws, some prefer the TSL's. I don't think you can go wrong with either. I like the PitBulls on my Wraith, but prefer TSL's on my Class 3 rig due to their scale realism.

I have no idea what the stock RTR RipSaws are like but I do know about the R35 compound RipSaws. I used them on my 1/6th Willys, they took and held lines that the RokLox wouldn't do.

I've got both the RTR compound and the R35 ripsaws...different as night and day.
There was stuff the stock tire would NEVER do anything but spin on ( mostly river rock), and the R35 compound hooks up with almost no wheel spin. Way better tire, I think

I have all 3 tires. Rtr are fine in loose,dirt conditions. Smoother rocks the softer ripsaws are alot better! The tsl are better all around tire. Imo. But sidehilling I would give it to the soft ripsaws over tsl. The sidewalls hold up better.

i personally vote for the TSLs
in my opinion hollow lug tires have no place on a scaler.

I run both and love the look of the TSL's but think the ripsaw's hook better in the rocks.

R35 Ripsaws are a 100 times better than RTR Ripsaws. I couldn't believe the difference when I tried a set
