Default Another Cool Crawler Tire

You guys should all go check out the new tire that Losi is using on their new monster truck if you haven't already seen it. Go to their web site.

Those tires do have alot of wrap around, and knowing Losi...the compound will be soft and sticky...

Look at the Losi site and you can get exact dimensions.

Wow, So digler do you predict these will be better than the BFT's? Does anyone know where to buy them yet? What rims will they fit? those things look softer then hell and they look like they wouldn't need much trimming.

I doubt any trimming would be needed. I've heard they will fit maxx sized wheels.
I am going to try and purchase some today.....or at least... order them, if possible.

Where did you find them? If only I didn't need a new servo, Why does being broke have to be so hard?

We should all e-mail them saying we want them, think a hundred e-mails would get the point across? Hey Dirk did you ever find out where to torder those tires? My swapdawgs are too hard of a compound. Need something tall and soft.

Allready did that, they are just too hard. What do you think digler? should I wait for the losi tires or go for the BFT's?

The BFT tires are real nice. Probably perfect after cutting them!
Did you see my post on the Digler Kongs? You should wait for that!

Hey dirk, How did you cut your BFT tires? I have some maxx mashers and I am going to narrow them and cut them.

I narrowed my rims last night, all I have to say is that I wasted my money on the swamp dawgs, these narrowed maxx mashers are better even if they are shorter than my swamp dawgs.
