New Pro-Line RC Toyo Tires + Rocks, Dirt & Lumber = True Tread Test

#rccrawler #prolineracing #toyotires

When this truck's Axial Nitto Grapplers started seriously showing their age, I snagged the first (maybe second) set of Pro-Line Toyo Open Country R/T G8 F/R 1.9" Rock Crawling Tires to arrive in the frozen north. With handsome scale appearance (not too fat; not too tall) I was hoping they would provide traction and control, in addition to spectacular good looks. Here's the maiden overland through "The Ravines" which throw a wide variety of grip and steering challenges at drivers, trucks, and their tires. Wet, dry, in between...I even managed to find a boulder to crawl on. One thing I couldn't find was snow...in Canada...in December! WTF. LOL. Cheers and thanks for your support.
