Looks like they work pretty good on flat ground:-P May have to give these a try.

Great vid Rooster!! The rock looks amazing!

Figured I would post some of my runs with the X-Locks as well.

Check the dates the same set of X-Locks are still on my crawler

Thanks. I got the idea of the WK body from looking at Offroader5's video and build of his Black Widow.

Just a side question: What suspension style are you using? It looks like full droop to me, but couldn't see enough. Super sweet video, tunes, rig, tires, and driving!!!

Thanks for the compliments!

It is full droop using Traxxas big bores and TCS internal springs.

good looking truck, i especially like the body on it. not the conventional crawling body that you see all over the place.

Thanks!! I try to stay away from the cookie-cutter-crawler look. I prefer just a plain old pickup truck.

What kinda wear are you x-loc users getting out of them? Would like to try a set in the future, but at 60 bucks I would like to get some use out of them. Then again gotta pay to play I suppose.

I've seen you at a couple of comps since you made this video... both times running Rovers I think. Did these tires fall out of favor with you?

Would you say these performed like a tall Panther? Just curious. Looking for a tall light tire myself and want your always valuable opinion I'm running Rovers now. Would I be disappointed in these?

Thanks
