I've never run those tires on anything and tbh I don't remember them but man... I really like the nice amount of space between lugs and also that the larger lugs have that "cut out"... not solid. Looks like a great tire for rock or trail.

I remember those, shocked they died out. Slight change and updated compound I bet they'd hold their own just fine today. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk |

"Tire Ban List: • Losi Claws (all sizes, and types) • Hot Bodies Rovers (all sizes) • Hot Bodies Sedonas • HPI Rock Grabbers • Panther Cougars • Panther Leopards • Pro-Line Chisels (all sizes) • RC4WD Rocklin • RC4WD X-Locks (all sizes) • RC4WD Crazy Crawlers • Imex Skulls and Bones • Losi Bashers." Also, Losi pretty much got out of the crawling game except for the Night Crawler - which currently comes with TSL Swampers left over from the Vaterra Ascender line. The Team Losi Racing Comp Crawler came with the Claws, which were National Champion winners in the old USRCCA days. Nowadays Losi does the go-fast stuff, Vaterra is dead and gone, and Axial gets all the crawler glory - all under the Horizon Hobby banner - and Pro-line got snatched up, too! | |

If you really want to go old school, Losi Rock Carvers...Modeled after Pitbull XOR tires before they jumped into RC with their own tires. |

Where did you find them? I thought they were discontinued.

Long discontinued, they pop up on Ebay from time to time. There's a nice set on there now on BL wheels for $40.

Comp claws! I just found a set in my tire box I might mount up. Same as rock claws just a little bigger.
