I picked up a set of backflips to use as an off road tyre to replace the worn out stock Katars on my Talion v3. I really wasn't prepared for how big a difference they'd make to the way the car handled when I took it back onto the grass. With the stock Katars fitted I used to pull the throttle right back and the Talion would raise a little at the front and kinda sink back at the rear and just zoom away whether on grass or on the road, no wheelies just pretty well planted speed. Now running on grass with the Backflips on it wheelies and flips over, there are traction rolls when turning at speed and nose flips when stopping sharply as well, lol.
I have a set of Sweep Road Crushers coming to use on road but honestly think I'm going to need to look for something else to run with off road. Yeah, the wheelies are kinda fun but I preferred (as did my son, he's taking a while to adjust to not pulling the trigger as hard) being able to pull the trigger right back without worrying about the car ending up on its' back. We had to put it back on its' wheels more times today than in the 3 or 4 times we had it on the grass with the Katars.
I'm in the UK so Katar stock seems to be non existent, is there another off road tyre that will exhibit similar handling to the Katars ?
