    Love the body’s, especially that 50's American truck

    How did you find the dirt bonz tyres compared to the stock ones? I have a new set of them and lowered shocks i haven’t had a chance to try out yet.

    Hmm maybe I’ll traumatise some dogs down the local park in the morning

    Happy bashing,

    Mark.

      I've got one of those for sale aswell as an 1/8th buggy if anyone is interested.

        Mark,

        The Dirt Bonz are great for grass and not too heavy dirt. Compared to the standard X MT2 tyres they are so much better, for one they have lower profile so the tyres don't roll so much and therefore seem to grip a lot more. I also have a set of prolines for tarmac use as they have little tread at all and again are much better than the standard X tyres. I would say the X tyres would be good for climbing hills or on loose terrain, gravel, mud and stand etc as they are thinner and have bigger tread.

        I like the new dodge ram body i have (the white one) as its pearl white, just like my S2

          Just what i wanted to hear I also found them fine for gravel and forests like you said but too soft for grass and compacted mud.

          Are you prolines worth getting? I had thought about them but wasnt sure how often i'd use them. Do they work well on grass?

          You have me all motivated again so i fitted them, cant wait to try them out

          Cheers, Mark.

          @Si Blythe, how much are you asking for the savage? have a few friends that might ask santa for one
