Recently I purchased these and the tires and traction is comparable to the badlands and it comes in a pack of 4 for $69.99 Power hobby Armor Belted Mounted Tires 17MM Claw Wheels Black (4) 1/8 Buggy. This first picture is of what it looks like on my Typhon 6s, and this past weekend on the dirt track and I was very impressed with the grip and response of these tires. Hope this all helps.

$69.99 for 4, all in one bag. Comparable to two sets of Badlands

I understand that. In my experience-the guys willing to spend a hundo on a set, have been hunting for a good while, and very much want Badlands specifically.. I don’t even have an issue with folks jacking the price up a bit due to demand on them being discontinued for a hot minute now; but $150+ is just straight up gouging to me personally…
 
I have badlands on my other RC, and it handles pretty well. I wanted to try something new and it seems comparable to the Badlands. I hate the price gauging, that is why I research all avenues for costs on different tires. I am satisfied with these current Power hobbies and will get these again for the future.

I get what you’re saying, but he wants them without the wheels.. 😅
 
Thanks but I only need tires as I am going to use my DE speed line wheels for nitro truggy setup.

There’s some price gouging on eBay at $150 for (4)…😳

Actually $185. I offered him $100 and is more than fair price but he denied it.

Most likely will go with set of 4s outcast backflips. They are little heavier and wider/taller but for $50 for all 4 tires is not bad at all.

Not sure why horizon hobby discontinued the tires as they were selling incredibly good.

When I made that post, there was a guy at $150, and another guy at $185.. I didn’t bother mentioning him, as he’s clearly bumped his head… I’m guessing the $150 guy sold his? 🤷🏻‍♂️ It showed one pair BNIP, but stated it was 4 tires available in that auction. The backflips would be my second choice as well. At least they can be found without wheels nowadays.. Just sucks they’re so much bigger than the badlands in every respect.. Yeah-I’ll never understand why they stopped selling the OG’s… I wasn’t big on them, but I know a TON of folks that were…. -and I’m with you on the dished DE’s… I NEVER buy premounts..

1) are 1/10 short course, and do not fit 4” DE Racing standard truggy wheels.

2) these are the backflips we were talking about as a 2nd choice for $50…

3) see #1.

😅🤷🏻‍♂️

Proline discontinued them before the HH takeover. They discontinued a boat load of stuff at about the same time.

Shockwave 3.8.
40 series Trenchers.
Both Proline Apocalypse bodies.
Both Desert Malitia bodies.
Desperado wheels.
F-11 Wheels.
Basically all the unmounted tires.

I am wondering and I have never tried this before so I am not sure if it works- What if you purchased the Badlands with the rims, and then used a heat gun to warm up the glue, then pealed it off the rim you don't need, and transfer to the rims you need them on?
