Losi 420 series Road Rash

[Grumpy1822]

I picked these up to see how they handled. They defintely out perform Road Rages. The traction is fantastic. They are big. About the same size as 40 series Mashers.

Next to Big Joes.

Are these tires very heavy?

Kinda heavy. Not as heavy as Joes, but about the same as the normal 40 series tire. i don't know why it wont show the first pic of the side view.

You are asking why the first pict in the first thread won't show. There is a problem with our system. When editing your posts with multiple Pict's you need to edit in Advanced and then hit preview post then hit save changes. I fixed it for you but keep this in mind.

Ok, thanks Larsen.

I used to run the Road Rage. They kept sliding from side to side on me. The sidewall was too soft I think. Made it mushy on some turns. Those were also maxx size not 40. I don't think that would matter. The Losis have a pretty stiff side wall, but not too stiff. The only time I think theyre too stiff is on jumps with concrete landings. They tend to make the truck bounce on landings.

Whats great about them is they hold their shape well. When your about to roll over, just let off the gas and let the wheel go and it will tend to straighten out and right itself. The edge keeps the corner is probably a better way to describe it.

I bought them for top speed trials, but I've been bashing with them too. They do ok in grass/dirt as well.
