3.8 Rock Crawler Tires?

I would go right to Duratrax for some of their 3.8 monster truck tires. I've used the Duratrax basher tires in smaller sizes and their rubber compound is by far the softest, stickiest compound I've ever used in a basher. I think their compounds are the same as what they use on their crawler tires.

The 2.2 Six Pack tires that I put on my Q46 literally stick to my tile floor and I have to forcibly pull the tires off the tile.

I bet a set of Six Packs or Lockups would work really well as a crawler tire, especially if you can replace the foams with something softer.

I run mudslinger 3.8s on my Summit with no foam and they’re incredible. Summit rock crawls better than just about anything else I own!!!

The compound they use for the 3.8 tires is different than what they use for the 2.2 tires.
 
I recently installed some Pitbull Rock Beast XOR 2.2 tires on my son's Everest 10 and holy cow I'm amazed at what those tires can do. The downside is that it made me realize how crappy my stock tires are on my Exceed Mad Torque. I'm aware that nobody makes a 2.8 tire except exceed so i've been looking at changing out to 3.8 tires since they use the same hex size. The trouble I'm having is that all the 3.8 tires I can find have medium soft or harder compound rubbers. I've been eyeing the Rock Beast XL 3.8's but they have a harder compound than the XOR's so i'm not sure they would be any better than my current tires. Any suggestions on a 3.8 tire for crawling? I know somebody made a review about the exceed 3.8 tires, but i'm kind of skeptical of those as they look very similar to the stock Everest 10 tires, which suck!

Did you ever find anything? My son wants better tires for his Mad Torque and I can't decide what to get.
