front sand tires?
a little while ago I saw pics of a set of maxx size front sand tires that looked like large version of the losi mini-t sand front tires.
I would like to get a set for my savage.
does anybody have any info on them?
they were pictures from an rc trade show.

It could be called the razor by panther tires, but I don't see it on their site yet.

the panter tires get mounted on 1/8th buggy rims, so you'd need to get the 17mm hex conversion for the axles of ur savage.

dude, your savage is 4WD. You don't need ribbs in the front. You need paddles all around. You will get no traction what so ever with ribbed front tires. They are meant for 2WD ST's and stuff.

RE: front sand tires?
all right here it is, after spending around $2500 on my Savage (Wasp .28, extended HB chassis, HB CVDs, 3 speed, pipe, 2 stage GPM airfilter, aluminium Maxximizer beadlocks, 6 full sets of tires ect. ect. ect.) I wanted something different then everybody elses "extreme" "killer" "oh my god my truck is the next best thing since canned beer" whatever truck looked pretty on the hobby shop shelf.
so I started to convert my Savage to a sand truck (since I moved to Florida a year ago) I kept all the go fast goodies and took out the front drivetrain, then I got a set of Panther paddles for the back and Imex rib dogs for the front. the truck runs quite well now. running 2wd with paddles is awesome because the engine can windup into the powerband faster creating huge roosts and blazing fast acceleration, the front tires just dance on top of the sand and sometimes don't come into contact with the ground until it's past 40mph.
I'm looking for more steering responce on the sand and that is why I'm asking about these tires.
guver- thank you, I will have to keep my eye on their website or I might just have the LHS call them to see whats up.

yup, they are out, Panther Razor mt. just finished ordering them 2-3 business days.
even ordered razors for my xxxt, already got Panther paddles for that too, just need to go to the LHS for a Pleazer body for it and I'll have a triple stack of sand r/c's
