Baja size have now been received. I must say I'm a bit disappointed. They are a bit softer than the larger ones and I missed the option to ship with foams. I installed the ddm baja foams with tape for now. They also are a bit heavier. Feels like the rubber is heavier and the overall wheel/tire/foam combo with the vitavons. Look killer but the weight is 😞 I've even seen a set of these expand and explode on a small bore fg.

Those foams are heavy compared to the akill sponges. They are softer than the original v1, but stiffer than the madmax super spikes. I mentioned it to akill, all the pussies complaining tires are to stiff is ridiculous. Whole point to make a strong tire

Madmax foams I always thought we're heavy as hell.

Finally mounted 2 of the newer v2 size, and compound up on some hpi 5b wheels. Softer compound for sure, but still seem very durable. They weight in at 1lb 5.8oz with alloy beadlocks and the included foams they come with. 20230429_182852.jpg 20230429_182917.jpg
