The Grunts are smaller than the MT45s just a tad. I haven't mounted them on yet though. I will try to get them out for a run soon.

BTW Vaterra Ascender Swampers are bout 4.3-4.4" inches tall and work great. Pro-Line OG Swampers are about same size but 5-6mm narrower, great smaller tires too! Last edited by Natedog; 12-12-2019 at 05:06 PM. | ||

I’m with all of you all on the mid size tires. If we could get a 4.5” BFG Krawler or a 4.45” km3 or hyrax I’d be pretty happy. I think the 4.35” berserker may be my next tire... not sure about foams though for these shorter and skinnier tires. https://www.amainhobbies.com/pit-bul...77595?v=762811 Good to hear the grunts are working out well. |

Any issues with the beads being a pain to mount ?

I use these foams, which are specially made for the tire to be found at https://www.rc-hp.de/navi.php?qs=a.l.t | |

| Re: Proline GRUNT 1.9 tire. See that didn't hurt, right? The Vaterra Swampers are a great size, but the compound isn't good. I know some people like that, but compared to Pitbull or Proline they are hard and not sticky at all. I tried everything with them including expensive foams and they just don't work for me. |

first test drive with the Proline Grunt, I am very satisfied even if the ground was not good after long rain in the forest, they did bravely. I am also very satisfied with the A.L.T foams |

Klaus, you like both of these...was it money well spent if you had to do it over? Would you pick the same combo? Also, your rig looks great like this. Cheers.

| Re: Proline GRUNT 1.9 tire. yes I would do it again, but it was about the size of the tire, a 112mm with a 36mm width is not easy to find, the size fits the LC70 very well, but my favorite tire is the RC4WD Goodyear Wrangler All-Terrain Adventure 1.9 "Tires Z-T0170

I ordered a set last night. I was originally planning to use them on my pimpincrawlers bug build, but the more I look at them, the more my imagination wonders to some of my other builds ha!

Great info guys i am so tempted by the Grunts and will check them when they arrive over here in my local hobby store, but will they be as good as my favourite BFG Krawler's which i use in both compounds, i will keep following this thread.

Anyone figure out what foams to use with this tire yet? Unless you guys are just trimming some of the CI foams down to fit the width of the tire?

| Re: Proline GRUNT 1.9 tire. I agree. I find myself using smaller and narrower tires more and more. They look better and a lot of the time performer better due to more pressure on contact patch. Currently the Pro-Line Krawler 3.85 are working really well, but only look good on a Narrow Steelie wheel from Boom Racing. |
