that is IT!
you even got the little raised area at the bottom of the slits!
PERFECT!

ok wait theres some thing going on with the slits...
on the standing up tire, the slits are off set both lug to lug and left to right, looks great.

on the laying down tire, the slits are the same distance from the center left side to right side. that looks dumb and repetititive.

it should be like the standing up tire.

Do I haveto

Im not that fussed on them, but if someone posts up some good side& tread pics then yeah probably.. Im to lazy to search myself

I dont see why people like em? For a rc I mean. Like they have such a full tread that they would really suck or not? Unless they would be opened up a bit, kinda like the trail docs vs tsl's or whatever theyre based on..

But yeah, If people like them as a scale tire, sure, but I dont see rc4wd making them particularly quickly

imo the bfg MT pretty much fits the bill, and is probably gonna get made as a almost replica. For a more onroad tire I prefer the AT but thats just my .02

Default Mtr concept

Half an hour later and theres your MTR

Not a polished model of course, but not bad considering i dont like the tire

So what do you guys want changed before you petitionrc4wd/drooloverit/ignoreit ?

heres the meat:

imo its a pretty tame tire..

but yeah, it would look pretty good on a street scaler I supose

-edit-

lolz ***** gets censored

I'd take a 4.75" or 5" in that. It's what I got on my one to one. Don't know how it'd act on my rig but sure make a nice replica.
