I like the side walls...

I am not a fan of the tread though... seems a bit too much like the crushers... and we know how they flex!

Looks sweet for a scaler for sure though... and the review got them a good overall rating!!

They'd look really good on that new Traxxas truck after I turn it into a waterproof trail truck. :D

and you wonder what Lee is talking about...

looks like a "grooved" verision RC$WD's rock crusher.........i would be willing to try those out:beer:

From what I'm reading they are being tested and go up and over great..sidehilling not so good.

They look like they'd be perfect for my type of driving....so, I pre-ordered a set in M2 compound!

Here's Dirk Digler's comparison of them to the rest of the Proline lineup as posted on rccrawler.com.

Just received word that mine should be shipping out sometime today! I crawl pretty well with the stock Lizards, so I'm really looking forward to getting something decent on it!!!

Hey

I ran some of these today. (M2 Compound).

A Losi Claw will out climb this tire all day long, as will a Badland (M3), Hammer (M3), Moab (M3) and M2ks (M2 and M3).

The following will sidehill better Badland, Hammer, Moab and Losi Claw.

Alright so that all seems pretty bad, but here is the upside. This tire will run the same line exactly the same way, time after time. It is the most predictable tire I have ever run, the number two tire is the HPI Geolander. It is absolutely nowhere near the most caple tire.

It may appear odd, but the predictability is more valuable to me then the absolute last in capability. I will try to run this tire.

I just got my Flat Irons today & I love them. They won't slow crawl everything like a Moab, however, if you can't crawl a climb, just give it some throttle, and they go like mad! They fit perfectly with how I like to crawl.

I'm pretty sure I'm going with Flat Irons on the trail truck I'm about to start on. They look like they'd be a good all around trail tire.
