| Re: Pro-Line 1.9 BFG Krawler
Don't know if anyone else can confirm that the g8 tires are the same way but I was surprised by how light/thin these tires are. I got ~74g/tire which are pretty much like 10-15g lighter than other 4.75" tires I have. Makes me want to bump up to medium outers in the front perhaps.

The Predator compound hooks very well for me but they do need stiffer foams than other 4.75" tires because the tire carcass itself does not offer much support at all. The G8s are heavier and tougher. That's why I chose to go with them on my last build. A heavy truck with a lot of power will probably kill the Predators in short order. | |

Can confirm this. As mentioned, I already took my TSL set off, went back to my trusty RockBeasts. I'm eyeballing the new BFG Mudders. | |

In the hand the carcass feels like what I'd imagine a "sporty" scale tire to be. My 1.9 Wraith is brushed so I'm not worried there, but I can definitely imagine some sidewall slices on the sharp/rough concrete at my comp spot.

scale mail arrived! The compound is soft, very soft. the Foams they came with are not the typical proline huge ridiculous foams. I went with a 4.50 inner med outer CI foam Front and rear. Mounted on some 1.9 knock off wheels. mounted up with ease like really easy!!! Who can say that about proline tires!!!!! Cant wait ti try em out. |

Had the chance to give a good run on the 1.9 G8 Krawlers. I think these have become my favorite tire now. They hooked up really well for me with Pro-Line dual stage foams. I bought another set, and will try them with CI Deuces Wild Single Stage Foams. Last edited by soze; 12-20-2018 at 07:12 PM. |

| Re: Pro-Line 1.9 BFG Krawler Tamiya PS-30 Brilliant Blue Paint backed with PS-5 Black. I actually bought the color for my Tamiya 40th anniversary Porsche TA-02W Kit, but I haven't gotten around to building it yet. I first used it on the GOM, then the SCX10.2

There's another thread from when they first came out, some liked them pretty well. They are not a real wide tire like the proline and pitbull xl's. And 4.65 - a tenth of an inch shorter. I think the wide is going to be key. The axial wildpeaks are also fairly narrow. They just don't grip very well. The rockbeasts were like night and day on the new blazer. | |

ran the krawler t/a's in some light mud today, they didn't clean out as well as I would like but still my favorite tire since I don't run when it's muddy unless I'm really dying for a crawl, lol

Been running the krawlers with the predator compound for a little while now. They are holding up well, but they seem to wear a bit faster than the G8 which is to be expected. These are super soft and super sticky tires and hang up amazing. If they wear a little faster because of it, I'm OK with it. A few people mentioned size. They are big, but I wouldn't say that my scx10 4runner no longer looks scale. I had to trim about 1/16" of wheel wells for them to fit with no rub in full flex. I run leaf springs and my body down low, so some of you may need to trim more or less. Very happy with these with the proline dual stage foams. |

I have G8 Krawlers on my rig which is mainly a go fast/U4 style rig. It weighs 12lbs and the CI 4.5 Lil Nova M/S comp cuts are just too soft. Im thinking Proline single stage. Would that be a good setup?

| Re: Pro-Line 1.9 BFG Krawler Looks like you crawl at the 2 spots I do. Those tires definitely hook up at those spots.

| Re: Pro-Line 1.9 BFG Krawler
One thing that has surprised me is that I've put 1.5 hrs on these tires on pure gritty concrete/rock and they hardly seem used. I was worried the predator would be much softer than the normal g8 crawlers but I don't know if that's the case.
