C3 is Duratrax Super Soft compound, very similar to Pro-Line's M4, Axial's R35 and Pit Bull's Komp. C2 is their Soft compound, which is very similar to Pro-Line's M3 and Pit Bull's Zuper. I don't own their new crawler tires (yet), but have several sets of their short course tires and wheels. The quality of the rubber is excellent and the C3 Super Soft provide a lot of grip on my short course trucks. They also seem to held up well to abuse. |

Here is a shot of them compared to other tires out in the market. This should give you an idea of sizing.

| Re: Duratrax 1.9/2.2 Scale Tires
The tires are now up on Tower TowerHobbies.com | Search Results The prices are quite good ($18/pair for 1.9s, $20/pair for 2.2s), hope the performance good as well. Based on other Duratrax tires I had in the C3 compound, I don't expect them to be as soft and sticky as Pitbull, Proline, or RC4WD X2SS tires but better than RC4WD tires in X3 compound. |

I hate to be the naysayer here, but I think these tires sum up Duratrax. They jump into things half-assed and then wonder why their product fails to sell. The price is good, but if the rubber compound, tread design, scale-ness, and size don't meet the current demand why even bother?

While I like raised white letters on certain rigs, I could of done without the giant white letters on a non-licensed tire myself. Just my .02.

The look cheap enough to give them a shot. I oval race a duratrax tire and you can make the C3 compound really soft with a little bit of tire prep. They tend to have a glaze on them that once you get through that the really soften up.

Good info, thanks! On second thought the slightly large size might go well on my 1.9 Wrascenderaith. | ||
