Interesting. We'll see. If they work, they work. If not....

I could see that design working well for RC rock crawlers.

I was thinking more along the lines of catching a sharp edge on the sidewall and tearing some of the honeycomb where a normal smooth sidewall would slide across. I like the idea, but having it exposed isn't likely the answer. | |

It's certainly not good for all conditions, but some people us their crawlers in pretty controlled conditions, like on indoor courses, or areas that are mostly large rock / slickrock. Many don't drive fast enough for balance to be a concern. That said, keeping debris out of the cells I believe is an important consideration for the mainstream success of this style of tire, either in the 1:1 or RC world. Snow, ice, mud, and other debris frequently comes into contact with tires. | |

They might have vented sidewalls when released to the public. I'd definitely try them that way, but the exposed honeycomb is much less appealing. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk |

Wow. Yeah, I thought there was a revolutionary car tire of that concept. [shrug]

Hmm, I'm very interested to see how this goes. I could see it working really well; or not at all..

I like the look of current sidewalls, got lots of foam tuning available and scissors/Dremel to do more. They work great on some slow speed heavy equipment from what I've seen, but crawlers mmmmm I'll pass. Last edited by Natedog; 07-26-2019 at 10:00 AM. | ||||

Its interesting for sure, I wonder if they simply left the sides off so we could see whats going on. I'm guessing they would have sides when released but who knows. EDIT: Harley looked at these a bit in his latest video and mentioned Proline isn't very sure whether these will come to market or not. Last edited by HumboldtEF; 07-26-2019 at 10:06 AM. |

Doesn't look like a mass market thing, more of a one-off just to try it.
