You could always join us friday night. lots a space to run and get it topped out. Gene's got his radar gun so you could clock it too.

$13 for 4 premounted and glued. Lets see how they work.

so how did they do bill? I just picked up a set of thoses exact tires last week for the exact same reason. Havent gotten to run em yet. Hopefully this sunday.

Just mounted a set of the Proline version of that tire....hoping that they help on the Busse grass. The stock tires just spun and spun. Had the new Cen Magnum NX in the grass yesterday and it handled pretty good, so hopefully the Matrix will do just as well on the new Proline Badlands. I really want to be able to run both at Busse.

They were great. Watch out though, the rims aren't as tough as say a proline rim, or another name brand. The tires held up great, the glue job was very good. And traction was excellent. Nail the throttle and its gone, tearing up chunks of grass and dirt.

However I landed a jump slightly wrong and broke the center of the rim, perfectly good tire, ruined rim.

Do the zip ties on the tires actually help? If yea that's a cool idea.

SaVaGe_DuDe · (#388 (**permalink**))

well, they held up rather well actually. shreded the grass pretty well though.

Carbo · (#389 (**permalink**))

is it limited to just the grass at busse or can we still run on the pavement?

R.F.D 2007 · (#390 (**permalink**))

Just the grass but its still a good time out there !

4wheelinrevo · (#391 (**permalink**))

thats me and the zip ties, i was kinda mad because i just bouht the buggy and it was the first day out and the tires were glued like you know what.

yes zip ties do work but make sure you richen up the HSN because it is alot more strain on the engine

i do not advise to do this
