| Boomracing 1.9 Hustler tires
I got my hands on an early release of Boom's impressive scale tire, the Hustler MT/X. They come in 2 versions, soft and SUPER soft and also include 2 stage foams. Size is 4.45/1.57. They were easy to mount on Krait wheels (of course). I tried the soft version first and was impressed at the traction they gave at my local spot. The foams fit well and kept the tire from folding over. I'm not weighting the wheels but have the heavy Phat axles on this rig. Next I tried the SUPER soft tires and was blown away. This is going to be my tire from now on for my scx10.2. |

So dumb question....but in what situation would you not want the softest tire possible? It seems like the only down side would be how fast they wear out? I've never competed...nor do I have any friends that are into RC so I'm left to figure this stuff out on my own. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk |

Good looking tire! I think I'm going to try these out. Quote:
If your rig is too heavy you would not want the softest tire, but these days that can be controlled with foams. So I'm with you. When would you not want the softest tire? | |

Huh. They look pretty good. Not sure about the sidewall but the tread face looks pretty agressive.

Woah. They packed a lot of detail on that sidewall. It even says, "Enjoy being a badass" I will, thank you very much! |

Anybody have a picture of the two stage foam these come with? Seeing these all over the internet this week but nobody is really talking about the foam. If the tire works AND the foam works for $50/set that's a deal. I also haven't heard a review from somebody who didn't get them early so I'll wait until they're in the hands of the people to make a decision about ordering.

| Re: Boomracing 1.9 Hustler tires I've heard of this as well. One guy I talked to who crawled at worlds said Blue Voodoos were a necessity because the Silver/Gold pins just weren't working on the 100F+ days. I can't remember why but if anyone else has experienced that i'd be interested to know.

I was thinking about that, but forget where that's at? Malaysia, Vietnam or? Just looked it up, Mombasa Kenya. Quote:

I also find it funny that a brand that specializes in undercutting the current prices on gear has released a tire that costs just as much as the other tires on the market. These will have to be REALLY good tires to move a lot of units for them. Last edited by 1967Typhoon; 04-18-2017 at 12:38 PM. | |
