|  Creeper tire comparison....videos
Ok here is some tire comparison videos, same weight different tires/wheels EDIT: The weight is 1/2 lb per tire, all tires have holes in them and all tires are running the foams that came with them. First is the HB rovers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4Ff8...e=channel_page Then the stock tires facing forward http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVo-j...e=channel_page Then the stock tires backwards http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZ6ss...e=channel_page Then the Losi carvers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4q8cm...eature=channel And then a fun run http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dkrT...e=channel_page Enjoy!!

I think the hb rovers was hands down the best choice I made on a upgrade for the creeper.

My first upgrade was the hb's plus some weights. Night and day difference from stock. They were working so good, I broke a pin in the front axle joint on the short side along with the C-joint. Now I'm down waiting for parts. |

Nice comparison, did you have holes drilled in the wheels when you were running the stock tires? I drilled holes in my wheels and am running the tires backwards, it seems to do pretty good, but after seeing that i want to look into those hb's.

As soon as I put the Creepers to the table test and they made the Imex sound I tossed them to the scaler pile  |

What wheels were you running for the Rovers? Those are my next tires for sure, I just want to make sure I get the right wheels. I'd like to use the venom wheels as I like the look of them and the price is good, but I don't think the bead lock will work.

Well, partially. I put about a half inch of the hb foam at the rim, then use the stock memory foam from the creeper wheels on top of that. Works great. I also run 8.5oz of weight per front wheel.

I just got my HB Rovers (whites,soft) all mounted up today. They work great in the snow. I was really suprised how well the goofy tread pattern actually cleaned out in stick wet snow. I think they work better tackling obsticals side-ways at angles than head on. I should have maybe went with the Blues, Im more of an indoor crawler and the white's are supper mushey on carpet and couches  |

I would say it's in the wheels. I think most guys around here would say don't put holes in the tires. If it catches on a rock or something it'll tear your tire apart and you don't want that do you?  |

The stockers were ok for stockers the more time ran on them the better they worked but for a stock tire what can you expect i will be running them on the trail truck soon i also have tried several others panthers claws badlands and the chisselss the claws work best in the basement test course but the chissels worked great the panthers have so much bite they would barry them selves between the rocks snow is melting today so hopefully will bw outside crawling soon.
