Link for Knockoff Badlands?
 
I remember people used to pick up these awesome tires off this one seller on fleabay....

I remember, vividly, something like Yoko or something, badlands, preglued, obviously fake, but real cheap, and wore less than the real badlands..

I think I read somewhere that someone recommended it more than the real ones! :neutral:

Anyone have a link?

rawfuls 07.05.2009 12:20 AM

Found it on fleabay right after I posted.

AWESOME!

And the badlands..

Im going to pick up a set for my E-8 for just bashing around with. Should work great for that.

rawfuls 07.05.2009 12:27 AM

Don't buy all of em!

I need a set... Maybe, need a new set for my grass use.

primus95 07.05.2009 07:21 AM

hi guys,

I found the badlands poor for traction in anything other than mud/very wet soil, they are way to hard a compund to be effective.

The Racing Spikes however are awsome, great traction & wear for the price!!!!

Bondonutz 07.05.2009 08:39 AM

I've bought several sets from Suprasales over the years,great prices and FAST shipping.
Tires are always worth the price paid.

I'm sure he's speaking of the Knockoffs because the compound is much firmer than the Proline rubber

iTz Nicholas 07.05.2009 01:32 PM

I wish they made knock off badlands in Truggy size and maybe even 2.2 size.

The link supplied above is for truggy ? 17mm hubbed w/wanna be Badlands

rawfuls 07.05.2009 02:12 PM

So the badlands aren't great?

The Proline badlands are excellent Basher tires, The Suprasales Badlands are almost identical except they are way cheaper and the rubber is a firmer compound.(They'll last longer).

rawfuls 07.05.2009 02:20 PM

Okay, so the SupraSales Badlands are worth the money?

Bondonutz 07.05.2009 02:24 PM

I do not personally own a set but I have several other sets of tires I bought from them and the qaulity and service was top notch. I'd go out on the limb and say yes,you'll be happy with your purchase. Especially for thr price compared to Prolines and rims then glueing them ? Ultimately it's your decision and your $$

rawfuls 07.05.2009 02:26 PM

Alright, thanks.

Though, I think I'm gonna stick with something else...
Do you recommend a specific tire/rim combo from them?

17mm, most likely will be on my ESavage or EMaxx...

kulangflow 07.05.2009 09:24 PM

I have the knockoff Badlands for my 1/8 buggy and they are excellent tires, IMO.

The rims, on the other hand, are crap. I've shattered two rims just racing. Yikes!

rawfuls 07.05.2009 09:53 PM

Oh....

I've heard the glue job was more than excellent though! :intello:

IMO the knock-off badlands are too hard of a compund to grip effectively on anything other than super soft surfaces.

I ran both the original Proline Badlands and the knock-off badlands (with 17mm adapters) on my Rustler VXL and the Proline's were awsome on every surface, and the knock-offs really sucked.

Go for the racing spikes (I found them fantastic) or spend the extra $$$ and buy what SupraSales call the "PRO" version which they call a soft compund.

rawfuls 07.06.2009 12:24 AM

Alright, so these?
http://cgi.ebay.com/NIB-Racingspike-...lenotsupported

I basically need something that will work in low cut grass (well... Medium kind of), pavement, and dirt.

Will work great offroad, can't comment on how long they will last on pavement however.

rawfuls 07.06.2009 01:10 AM

Alright, what's the wear time approximately on offroad?

kulangflow 07.06.2009 02:33 AM

I should note that I have the "Pro" version of the knockoffs, and they work well for me.

rawfuls 07.06.2009 02:34 AM

pro version...
Link?

rawfuls 07.06.2009 10:58 AM

Ahhhh, gotcha, thanks.

Wait, so, if the pro makes the tires better... Would the badlands (or bigblocks) pro version be better? :X Sorry if I'm making you run in a circle!

Foxracin 07.06.2009 12:53 PM

I wouldnt waste the extra money on them if you just using the for bashing or whatever. Its not going to make that much of a difference.

rawfuls 07.06.2009 12:58 PM

Alright, thanks..
