I will say this. These tires have by far the best bead of any 2.2 tire out there, moabs and mashers pull off of the rc4wd bead locks, these do not. Very thick and meaty bead. Well done Axial!

i wanna smell em!

I guess that if the rubber compound and tread design works, that's all that really matters.

I wanted to to use this tires for my next 2.2 clod build I guess I need to make some dez's badlands or jp's jordan's.

I expect mine to arrive this week just in time for our next comp, I will try to get some pictures, or videos.

I'm Glad Axial is making some tires and Maybe they will make a taller 2.2 Tire. That would be sweet.

Using calipers they are actually slightly larger.

I'm thrilled to death that AXIAL is making products aimed at the crawling community. I will probably buy a set of these to try out just to support them for supporting us.


That said... I STILL hope they make an "XL" version of this tire... you know... taller, stickier, and a little narrower. 5.5-5.8" tall would be excellent!

X2 here also. I am just glad to see a company making specialized products aimed directly at the community.

I only had time to mount one tire last night. I'll finish one side and leave the mashers on the other and take a shot of the rig tonight for you so you a full comparison. Did I mention these beads were beefcake!

[Got Rocks?]

dont forget rim width guys it makes a difference in mounted height

[cheapjeep2]

Ok Here you go. Wheels are rc4wd super narrows. Masher foams are the stock foam narrowed to the same width of the wheel and cut in the traditional star pattern. Axial foams are cut are narrowed to the same width of the wheel and are NOT cut in a star pattern (not cut at all other than narrowed) Both front wheels have about 200 BBs between the foam the and wheel. The Lizzards are a little narrower when mounted. (and yes the axle c that the masher is on is tweaked). The foams are soft enough I get the same or more squat with them being I do with the pro-line foams in a star pattern.

Yup...Measured my set and they are approximately 5mm taller then the Moabs

Great Pictures I plan to run my lizzards with the axial 2.2 rockster beadlocks. I feel better now I have seen the lizards with the narrowed rims. It appears a little taller and that is always good news.

Thanks to axial and dealers for getting this products to the market.

Did some tests they do not appear to be as stable as the mashers on side hillss partially because they are a little rounded while the mashers are more square. Plus the foam appears to be a little soft on the side hills. I am adding some of the foam back to the tires and will try them with full foams. I will tell you these bad boys are very soft.

[Got Rocks?]

so it acutually has a foam that works?

Yup... I think you may have cut too much out of the foams. I almost cut mine the witdth of the wheel too, but stopped short and only removed just under 3/4" from them. This gave the sidewall more foam pressure. My rig actually side hilled better with the Lizards, especially when turning on the side hill. The Mashers want to push while the lizards gripped.

i like the wrap around side lugs, that dont stop on the edge like the moabs. i wonder if there are plans for a "XL" 40 series/super class version.

[cheapjeep2]

Ok, tried them with full foams and it side hills very well and is still quit soft. More testing required though.

[JohnJohn]

I am about to cut the foam for mine. About an 3/4" on each side of the rim would work well. (?) i have the narrow RC4W and the Moabs
