2.2 Imex Pullers?

[Janke]

I am going to be running my crawler in deep sandyclay washouts. So i need something thats gunna dig in and clean out realy well but yet be soft enough to grip.

Are the 2.2 Pullers any good? what do yall suggest for this type of terrain.
I was thinkin of the pullers with no foam insert? but i dont know.

Also for the 2.2 do they make rock rings that can be installed on any wheel? if so could i get a link to were i can order them?

I have a set that we have ran on our Wild Dagger for years. Work great in sandy terrain. As long as your rig is fairly light, no foams required.

So your sayin these tires are made of a hard compound i was affraid of that :?

I am thinkin know i might go with the swamp dawgs and cut the smaller tread out of them. but i dono yet?

I have a friend with a TLT that runs Pullers, he says they're the best 2.2 tire out there. I've also seen it run, they did a darn good jub too!

[Janke]

Hmmmm..

Im just afraid that the tread is so far apart they wont grip? :?

[Robshobbies]

My friend got a set of 2.2 pulls and at first he doughted them because of the odd tread but he is very satisfied and says they work great on his e-pede..

[Janke]

wow nuthin but good comments about these tires.

[Team-FSU]

they would be great if you decided to take a old tire and cut off some treads and glue them into the open area's of the pullers.

[Janke]

that is definetly an option i have stacks of random tires laying around.

What do yall use for glue? ive seen jb weld i think?

[phillyb]

for rubber look for IC-2000 rubber tire glue. normally sold at LHS.

i too have the pullers. they are some of the larger 2.2 tires, work great but were too big to be scale. i keep em around for snow.

[Janke]

Im not looking for scale im looking for a mean ass tire that will tear up sand and grip in the slipery clay. cuz thats only kind of terrain i got around. Unless i can talk the pops into gettin a pallet of landscape rocks.

[phillyb]

what are landscape rocks? are they different from other rocks? what makes them so special, they still come out of the earth right? i hope you arent going to pay for the rocks.

i dont know if they are the best all terrain tire, what do you mean by slippery clay? around here most of the racetracks are slippery clay, almost mud, i donno.

[Janke]

lol I live in an area were the only rocks are bought and payed for. Im not getting any rocks, i was looking today and all the wash outs on my property will make perfect rock crawling. I cant wait till i get my chassie in. we even have a gully with deep ass washouts.

phillyb- what tires do you run?

[phillyb]

i was going to say. i dont live in the boonies, and i can find plenty of obstacles. and if i drive i dont have to go far. i have thought of grabbing some rocks and making a 'pile' but my parents might not be so enthusiastic about it.

well right now im running the proline mashers. but they dont look very realistic. kinda trying for the scale look, so ive got a set of j-hawgs that im going to cut up. hoping to make them look like something decent. the mashers hook up great (no foams) and work well in most everything ive come across. so far that would include snow in the yard, snowy hill climbs on dirt, rocks, and even carpeted stairs. they are a great compound, but kill the scale look. ive seen a set here that were narrowed and look simply awesome, but ive already glued mine on.

so far ive only had the 2.2 pullers, and the 2000 mashers. i have yet to run the j-hawgs (waiting on rims) but i think they will do the job, and look like a set of 44s.

the j-hawgs feel like they are made of the same compound as the pullers, which isnt very soft. the mashers are very soft, and conform (thanks to no foam and a heavy plastic jeep body) to rocks. i probably should have used some foam in em, since they bulge when the truck is idle. im hoping that with some siping and chopping the j-hawgs will conform/flex better and look scale.

if not im getting another set and cutting em, some tire that no one else uses, just to be different.

[Janke]

i think ive decide on the pullers because yes they dont look to scale but o well they will surve my purposes. Even if they are a little hard they will work if i cut and glue them enough :-P Plus they will be different as you say.
I had the mashers on stampede at one time and they were increadibly tacky and soft.
