Default proline SC gladiators..who's run them?

The new ones, I'm looking for some direct feedback. Im considering them as an all arounder for the Losi SCTE 4wd.

I run them on a Loose, hard Packed track, M3;s they work very well. 3 stage pins, so they last quite awhile.

Cool, thanks. I am running basically two tracks here that are complete opposite. One is tight hard pack, high-ish bite, with little loamy dust on top from time to time, the other is about as loose as I can possibly imagine a track being.

I think these tires only good for loose/hard or Soft/Loose tracks.

Heres my track.

There are better race tires for tacky tracks, but Gladiators are consistent wet or dry, have a predicatable slide and I like how the bigger pattern cleans itself out in loamy wet conditions when other tires get caked up.

Gotcha, yeah. looks like one set aint gonna do it all. Well, maybe, but there will be compromise. I still may give it a go. I wonder if AKA enduros in "soft" would be better as a jack of all trades sort of tire.

I am pretty impressed with the stock Losi tires myself! I have ran them on moth my 2WD SCT and my 4WD SCT! Other than for being soft and maybe not lasting a long time, but time will tell...

yeah, I don't hate the eclipse tires, and do have a full set laying around. Good call. That's no fun though. If I just use those, no packages in the mail!!! I actually wish they were a tad softer, but for an rtr tire, they're outstanding!

I run the Gladiators on the rear of my slash 2wd and they work great on soft loose type dirt or hard pack with loose dirt on top. They won't be very competetive on clay or blue groove 'clean' type tracks though. My advice in your situation is to save up and get 2 sets of tires, 1 set for each track(ask around at the track what the fast guys are running). That way you can really enjoy it when you're at both tracks. Otherwise you're limiting your fun at one track or even both tracks. Or, get the Gladiators and try them out at both tracks and decide from there whether you need other tires or not.
