these tires are obviously a rip off of the proline badlands. has anyone tried them? the real badlands are great for loose terrain. I wonder of the quality of these tires and wheels????

very strong, i remember i slid into a curb, hit on the side made a nice loud pop noise :D But no wheel or tire damage, spoke or dish they are VERY good durable wheel tire combo. I remmber i had one wheel let go of the glue in one spot, nothing a dab of CA couldn't fix. I prefer dish though, they look better.

[RCRevolution]

what about his monster truck tires? how are they? is it a soft or hard tire compound? and anyone know what width the MT tires are? are they stock t-maxx or like 40 series?

[Grant Tokumi]

Wow. I'm all for these tires. Nice find. Someone's gotta put those big name tire manufacturers back in line so us non-sponsored racers can compete without breaking the bank.

I just ordered a set of Crimefighters for $22.98. We'll see how they work out.

[RCRevolution]

yes but how does it compare to other compounds, like is their medium equal to let say pro-line's medium?

and these tires arent belted right? they will balloon like Krazy

[ericem]

no they do not balloon like crazy, i remember, overall i found the compound well, its good, not hard its medium what can i say?

[seanmanibog]

They work great, both the badlands and crimefighters, had them both and neither has any real flaws.

[RCRevolution]

you guys are talking about the buggy tires right?

the mts should be good too and the racing ones are EXACT knockoffs of the bowties, and for $20 for 4 u cant go wrong, im sold.

a set of bow ties and mashers for bashing :)


anyone know where to find cheap maxx sized 17mm hex rims?

[LD3Furious]

They're actually Crime Fighter knock offs. I could be mistaken, but I don't think he has come out with Bow Tie ones...hope he does though :)

[RCRevolution]

the MT tires he has are deff bowtie knock offs.

also those are about the cheapest I have been seeing those wheels for, $8

[LD3Furious]

Ohh...my bag...I was basing my reply off your first sentence and thought you were asking about the buggy tires.

[Secretsg]

Gotta remember some of this stuff on Ebay may not be knockoffs. RC manufacturers for the most parts are small and probably purchases slots of time from the factories. Sometimes you actually get the same product.

they sure do look exactly the same to me, but if they were from the same mold, wouldn't they have the proline lettering on them?

[ericem]

they are NOT the same.

[evst 360]

whether they are the same thing or not its still a good deal.

[ericem]

whether they are the same thing or not its still a good deal.

yes :D

[Grant Tokumi]

whether they are the same thing or not its still a good deal.
Thats what I'm talking about. :)
As long as they are functional, as in, the tires don't come flying off the rims, or the rims don't strip, or other things we typically take for granted don't bite us, etc, then I'm all for it. I'll be finding out for myself soon enough. :)

[RCRevolution]

whats funny is that guy is gonna see a spike in sales and is gonna be like, .......*** just happened?

[seanmanibog]

lol it got on to this site is what happened lol

[Grant Tokumi]

Race Report:
I got my tires on Friday, just in time for a race on Saturday. They are very stiff tires, and the foam inside seems pretty soft. Not exactly your preferred racing tires. But I do have to say that I did my best qualifier on Saturday using these tires, qualifying 4th out of around 10 racers in 8th scale buggy. I switched to Panther Kumodo 2s for the 2nd qualifier and the main, and while the K2s definitely drove better than these knockoffs, I still sucked both times due to crashing. I sucked so bad I didn't take the time to look at my lap times to see how my good lap times compared.

In the one 5 min qualifier that I did run these knockoffs, I encountered no unexpected surprises. Tires did not fall off rims, rims fit snug to the hex, nothing broke. So in my book, I say these are good tires to try out.

I know. I think I deserve a set for free. :D
