Any idea on what the product will be that they will release? More accessories or a crawler kit? Hmmmm, I wonder. Any thoughts?

They should try to make coppies of real tires like the bfg mud terrain in the 2.2 size if nobody makes them already.

Unfortunatly most full size tire designs don't scale down very well. It would be easy to make them and they would look cool, but I would doubt their performance. Because RC cars are not proportioned the same way as a full sized vehicle, the weight and power differences present on the scale version usually require different tires. Just look at race tires. They are nothing like tires on full sized cars, except for slicks. Even then the slick compounds are completely different from the rubber compounds used on full sized track cars. You don't see many full sized cars running foam inserts either ;)

besides if you wanted to scale down a tire for crawling you wouldnt use a mud terrain, you would go with the bfg krawler. it is the best rock tire in the world and is also incredibly soft ruber for a tire. (required by sponsorship to tell how great the krawler is)

Would be nice if the new Axial Racing product was a 2.2" version of their Beadlock Wheels! ;)
