new JUNFAC TIRES???

[AxialJeepster]

couldnt find a new thread on these anywhere but I was checking in on new product from good ol RPP hobby and see that junfac has released a new 1.9 tire that is just over 4 inches tall and looks bad ass.

wondering how well they work or how soft they are. for 17 bucks a pair I thought id try them.

please let me know if you have.

Junfac 1.9" MT1901 Off-road Tires (2) for 1.9 inch Size Wheels

[666]

They look like Yokohama Geolanders.

I too wonder if they perform.

I've seen those too but not in person...thought picking up a set awhile back but decided against it I thought they'd be hard like the tamiya bfg's on their scale trucks.

GMade have those as well.

In fact, the ones in your link are GMade ones.

bmuzz ran them at NWSC and said he liked them. He had some comments in his build thread.

I think Gmade and Junfac are the same company or at least owned by the same people....

does anyone know how soft the compound on these tires are? for example are they soft like proline superswampers,or maybe a lil stiffer like rc 4wd baja claws?

Isn't Junfac and Gmade basically the same thing?

From bmuzz1's thread:

Right...I think Junfac is the companies name and Gmade is their products name??

Damn right! "WE" have risen up against them super hard so called "crawler" tires and if anyone makes another hard tire like tamiya's, they shall be cast into the flaming pits of tire hell!!!...:mad:

[Game-mania]

Climbing and side hill with heavy rigs are good with these tires as they are harder compound than what we are used to...

[bmuzz1]

I really don't think they are much harder then the majority of tires out there in the same size range with the exception of maybe the TSL's.
I was also really impressed with them on the wet rock up in Oregon.
Ty and I played a game of follow the leader while in Oregon with his C2 and my H2 and I couldn't believe the lines I was able to pull, and as long as I've been doing this I know when it's tire and when it's dumb luck.
