[abadk9420]

Here is Pro-Lines new offering in the 2.2 arena. The Chisel is due for a January 1st release so look for it soon.

Part number and pricing will be available at that time.

There will be getting tested this weekend in the Axial event outside Reno.

Post up what you think.

a dang, those look sweet!!! seems like everyone is going with a taller tire now, these look about the same as hpi's and hb wich is a good decision imo....prolly have to give some a try.

I'm really glad I haven't ordered hammers in g8 compound.

 

[slowngreen]

dont buy hammers japko, they are good tires yes BUT if you are gonna buy brand new tires atleast get claws....although i would recomend the HPI' grabbers or HB rovers over the claws, all three smoke the hammers.

Looks awesome! I want some!

 

[abadk9420]

Ya they look pretty sick, I can't wait to here how well they work....

 

[Japko]

These will be the ones to get imo.

 

[slowngreen]

i doubt i'll get any for a while but maybe some time, I'm glad they are tall though.

This from a Team Proline Driver:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Drove the crap out of mine today. All I can say is that Pro-Line has a winner here.

Mine were sent minus foams. Scott has passed on that they will come with a foam but that a 2 stage, top and bottom, foam will be available as a option. I had some 5.5"x2.5" memory foams cut out and waiting. When I packed them in I wasn't feeling it. I decided to go with the Hammer memory foam and I added 5/8" of regular foam on the outer side walls. Mounted them up and I was pleased with the outcome. They were slightly aired down but not sloppy. What I really like about the G8 compound is that it retains its size and doesn't stretch out like an M3 but it stays way sticky for its lifetime and way long tread wear.

After mounting them up and painting up a new body I took them out to our Area 51 for testing (Bootleg Canyon for those that need to know). First impression of the tires was awesome!!! I have driven other tall tires but these seem to exhibit a lot of control. The tread blocks grab great and the carcass flexes but doesn't get sloppy. The more open tread pattern really wraps the rocks nicely. The biggest feature was sidehilling. The sidewalls were pliable but they maintained it's course very well. Another thing I noticed was how well the tires would allow you to dig back up an incline after starting a decent. Normally you will push down the hill. I tried to make these tires fail but I was pleasantly surprised at how well they performed over and over. I really don't know if I will play with any other foam setups because of how well this setup performed.

I know there are numerous "taller" tires on the market right now. I have driven and tested a few but I would have to say that Pro-Line with the G8 compound has hit this design out of the park. I know that one tire is not 100% but I would have to say that this one is pretty close. I would highly recommend that you try a set. If you need more specifics on the foams and how I have mine set up let me know.

they do look good on that rig for sure, but that opinion might (probably is) be a biased opinion since he is a proline driver.

True very true, but one of the guy at the manteca comp was running them and was one of about 4 that made the first gate on course #2..

 

[durwank]

[durwank]

[slowngreen]
