Latest from Pro-Line (http://www.pro-lineracing.com)

Pro-Line is proud to announce their all-new Rock Crawling and/or all-terrain tire for 2.2” standard wheels or bead-loc wheels – simply called, Hammer.

For All-Terrain enthusiasts...

What better way to experience radio control cars then on a variety of surfaces all at once. Pro-Line recognizes your need to explore a variety of terrains every time you drive your car and that’s why we have created a tire to do all that and more. Introducing the Hammer tire. A 5” all-terrain tire specifically for 2.2” size wheels.

It’s realistic, aggressive tread make a perfect blend for a variety of surfaces. Spaced close enough together for street use while a nice blend of tread designs throughout the tire carcass provide excellent traction on dirt, grass, mud, or anything in between.

For you all-terrain users, Pro-Line has included their super-firm foam insert (please see part number list below). This insert is soft enough to absorb rough terrain yet stiff enough to assist with those high-speed street passes.

Available in super soft M2 and ultra soft M3 compounds, the Hammer is just what you need to elevate your 1/10th scale truck to the next level of performance.

For the Rock Crawler...

The Sledgehammer and Jackhammer trails located near Johnson Valley, California, are some of the most brutal trails known to crawlers around the country. Twisted fenders, crushed rocker panels, axle breaks, are all apart of a typical Hammer experience. The need for good equipment and the right equipment is crucial for getting through the trails successfully. Of course, throw in some experienced driving for good measure and that would help too. But, as with most competitive sports, the need for the right rubber on the ground is crucial for the best performance out of your rig. Pro-Line is proud to announce the Hammer tire for all those brutal trails around the country for your 2.2” Crawler.

The tire has been designed for complete terrain diversity. An alternating outer lug design made up of solid lugs and recessed lugs allows for different lug flexing characteristics. The diverse outer lugs help to ensure that the tire will continually grab and re-grab under the most extreme conditions for unsurpassed forward progress. Next, there’s finely detailed sidewall tread made to grip the surrounding terrain whenever in a super tight spot. Finally, the center lugs provide lateral stability for all of those side-hilling obstacles.

And a first for the crawling industry, Pro-Line has included their all-new Memory Rock Crawling foams in the Hammer tires at no additional costs (please see part number list below).

Available in super soft M2 and ultra soft M3 compounds, the Hammer is just what you need to elevate your crawler to the next level of performance.
· Rock Crawling Memory foam or Super firm inserts included.

· Super soft M2 or ultra soft M3 compound

· Sidewall tread designed to resist tire rollover in an All-terrain design

Memory Foam - It's like Tempur Pedic for your crawler!

LIKE Tempur-Pedic? it IS Tempur-Pedic! Well, not the name brand, but same stuff basically. Pretty cool, I like PL's demo pics.

I'm excited to get these things and try them. I've heard all sorts of mixed reviews. Some guys have said they work as well as Claws, some guys say they suck. I would assume it depends on the compound, foam, rig setup, and a bunch of other things, but I intend to pick up a set and then I'll let you guys know how they work for real. M3's tend to suck for crawling because the rubber is actually too soft. The lugs themselves just fold over and give up the fight, rendering the sticky rubber a bit useless. Hopefully this tire is different, but until it's proven that way, I'll be picking up a set of M2's with the memory foam, and they'll most likely be mounted on some Pro-Line rims.

M3's do not suck at all for crawling. put a good set of memory foam in them from kreepy krawler designs and they work awesome.

Are the tires in the pics M2 or M3 compound?

I was going to get some Badlands but now may go with these instead.

That depends on what kind of terrain you're running on, how the rig is set up, etc. The people I know who've run M3 compound tires didn't much care for them. I plan on trying a set out for myself...maybe the M3 rubber combined with the newer tread designs will work great.
