Are the Panthers really the top crawler tire out right now? I've heard they're pretty good,but the Losi's are still the reigning champs. But coming from some one that definately knows a thing or two about crawling ,I'll take your word for it. The lack of sidewall tread kinda made me second guess the Panthers as a capable crawler tire. Thanks for the info Dezfan. I'd still like to improve my Hammers 'till then tho. A fellow crawler said he heard about cutting the lugs or something on an online forum but couldn't remember where.
