They work no doubt about it.

Any idea of when they made the running change on the type of material used on the ss typos/slingshots? I think I've read that the earlier tires that have slingshot molded on them came with a harder ss compound but then got changed to a softer version. I've got a set that say slingshot on the tire but had typo on the bag. I've already mounted them up so I really can't replace them.

I just read more on this and I guess the change was with the curing process, it left a white film on the tires in the bag. Mine did not have that so I guess I got the new ss style tire.

When will they be ROAR legal?

Barge

As soon as they can get ROAR to change the rules it seems based on my readings.

So we're looking at 6-7 years or so then?

Barge

Hah... seems like that's about how fast ROAR moves from what I've heard on getting the 2.2 wheels we use now approved.

Luckily for most is that I've not run into any club so far that actually enforces ROAR rules.

Yea ours does...and I've heard people talking about how the Typo is illegal so if someone shows up and runs them I'm sure that they will be punished for it. Earlier in the season someone near me in the pits was running a 4wd SCT wheel with the wrong offset by mistake. Someone complained about it and they relegated him to the last qualifying spot rather than disqualifying him. He did have to get proper offset wheels on the truck before running.

Where do you race?

I only ask because if ever given the chace to go there i want to make sure I don't! lol


Typo's are the best tire I have used in a long time.
I run clay all the way arount on my 22-4
i run SS typos rear and Vector front on my 22 2.0.

Bumps and Jumps in Harrisburg PA. It is actually a great place to race, I have no idea how someone figured it out and why they had an issue with it enough to complain about it. They do randomly check the stock classes for blinky ESCs as well which again I like as I'd rather not be racing against people who are cheating.

Checking blinky mode is a must and done at all the tracks I race at but using a tire not roar approved in a club race and getting shelved is absurd.

Tires mean the most in RC racing! Other than actually running a faster illegal motor in stock lol.

The rules are there for good reason, without them... Why even race at all... Where does it end? 2.3 wheel? 2.5 2.7?

Are they that much better? I don't know because I haven't seen 1 person worth damn use em lol. The point is, they don't fit the rules.

Barge

They don't fit the rules as written but they do I believe meet the intent of the rules.

Unfortunately that doesn't mean much and as such I will be using my 1 set until they wear out and probably not getting more until something gets straightened out.
