1.9 bogger -- my idea on "functional Boggerz"

I used to use a metal cutting wheel on the dremel to cut tires but have since switched to using a mini saw blade meant for wood. I picked up the kit from harbor freight, it has several different sized blades and rather than burning the rubber it actually cuts it out pretty cleanly.

thats a good tip. i never thought of that. when using a wheel I get pretty tired of cleaning out the burned melted rubber bits and powder it leaves behind.!!
and let me tell you, i cut ALL my tires up. doesnt matter what tire it is it gets sipped, grooved or cut one way or another.
thanks for the input!

Glad I found this thread. I already removed the small lugs on my Boggers, which helped, but they still don't grab the rocks as well as I'd like. I will give siping a try.

this is true and is what I always do. i cant leave tires alone tho, that goes for ANY tire, i always end up doing something to the treads.. :ror:
keep this thread going id like to see more styles and maybe even other tire types.

I did sipe the Boggers, and turned them around so the tread is backwards. They were getting worn in the normal forward direction. These changes did help noticeably. I will keep them around a while.
I'm also working on cutting the larger inner and outer tread lugs on my stock SC10 tires. The stock tires do not have a good reputation, but I want to try to improve them before forking out cash for new ones.

no they were left the same as the first post and these tires soften up a lot after some good use. the more worn they get the better they work for sure.
I will say this, from the 4 sets I have owned, when the small lugs are cut out completely they do better in mud and on sloppy trails, less pack up and better release of mud.
but when they are sipped to shit like mine in the first post, and have some run time on them they work better for hard pack dry dirt and rocky trails. and they wear much better/slower. last longer."thumbsup"
its a toss up. but you just cant beat the looks if thats what your going for, they are scale tires and look the part. pits are nice yes, but a complete different look.
