Yep.
The Gripz is non directional.
And the Blades have all the pins connected for less flex. It's basically a dual stage Turbo Trax.

I can't wait to test them out.

how was the compound? are the ultra flex like the axeman uf or like the condor uf. I know mine feel,look, and smell completely different between the two tires.

THANK YOU MATT SISTRUNK AKA "PUDDIN" FOR ADDING ME TO THE TEAM!.....I CANT WAIT TO GET SOME GREAT RESULTS FOR VP-PRO-USA LIKE ALL OF YOU HAVE BEEN DOING:D

Stu541,

I know what you mean. The compounds are actually the same. The axeman feel softer because of the pin height and shape making them feel softer. The Condor pins are short and stubby which allows for less pin flexx making the pin feel harder.

The Blades pictured above would feel more like the Axeman wheras the Gripz have a stiffer more reinforced pin. ; )

Hope that helps.

I'm sold either way. mainly curious. I have been running vp pro since they hit the states. I love the way they wear and the traction I get. up here I could probably get by with axeman and condors alone. Be nice to get some truggy tire in those. But with these new treads I will definately be dialed anywhere. Thanks Gene, and Andrew for hooking us all up. :)

What tires and compound do you guys recommend for Truggy?.....i run on hard packed, dusty tracks that get watered.....thanks in advance guys

UF Turbo Trax or Cutoffs. If wear is high, then Medium Flexx.

when are the new tires expected to be sold to the public? i have the cutoffs and there awesome tires! calibers work very well on our track so i expect the gripz to do the same!!

you only have turbo trax or cutoffs right?....wear is high!.....alot of people are running AKA gridirons and cityblocks....should i run the cutoffs? or the turbo trax?

I think the turbo trax will be better. Since wear is high you might want to go with medium flex like Gene said.

sweet....thats what i was thinking...thanks bro

I want to send a special thanks to all of the vp pro staff for getting me tires quickly for my races down in houston tx.I recently ran the axman uf compound and they are awsome with good wear in this cold weather........

The new tires should be here March 1st. Including the new SC Axman and 1/10 buggy tires.

How is everyone liking the VPPro M Wing? Any better than a stock Losi? I just bought one. Waiting for the warmer weather to try it out at the track!:cool:

Also, Thanks to Vp Pro for shipping so fast on my order!

that thing looks sick on your buggy!:nod:

....i was just wondering if i run at tracks that eat tires...should i run the Turbo Trax or the Cuttoffs for truggy?....i just dont want to only get 1 run out of them:lol:....thanks in advance guys

deadmancourt. which one works the best? I would run that one and go to a harder compound, either medium or even hard. Once the axeman truggies are out they should last longer than the cutoffs too. Axeman truggies will be "THE" tire!:nod:

i know i cant wait:lol:...im just wondering cause i havent ran these tires ever...and i just picked up the sponsor and was gonna order some stuff by i only have enough $ for 1 full set of truggy tires and wheels to go with the rest...or else i would just order a set of turbo's and cutoffs:D....what do you reccomend for my first set?....i run at hard packed places that get dusty but also get watered...but not muddy:lol:

Is the tool set shown on the website available? If so what is the part number?

deadmancourt, I would think bcuz they water you will want the cutoff. the turbos will probably pack up in that situation. unless it is clay and no fluff at all. Turbos are more of a groove or clay tire. start with mediums. the vp pros last longer than most anyways. And good luck!

what size are the Vp-Pro Wheels?.. 3.25? 3.7?

The VP Pro truggy wheels are an LPR type rim. I like the Turbo or small pin even on a wet track because they load less than a larger pin. Turbo Trax ultra flex are an awesome choice, thats all I run.

i dont believe the tool set pictured is available as a set ...you would have to order the individual sets to make up THE set :)

I know you guys here mainly discuss VP Tires but have any of you guys tried out the shock/diff oil? How are they?

That's what i use. It is just like Jyosho/Mugen oils.

Thats all that I use as well, very reasonably priced and just as good of quality as anything else. I wish there was a little bit bigger selection on diff oil weights, but I work with what I got ;)

Just an observation
 

I was at an event a couple years ago and noticed some VP Pro tires. They looked very high quality. I would think the tires are capable of winning a number of races. The problem that I've seen though is that there is not a single guy (that I'm aware of) anywhere in the midwest running them. I would think it would be in the interest of the company to pick up a couple drivers. The Omaha Hobbyplex is a huge growing racing community that makes most of the so called "big" tracks look small. It could be a start. ;) Again, just an observation... no ill intent at all :)

10,000cts is coming soon. And I mix 1k & 3k 50/50 to get 2,000.

We have a strong team in the West, FL, and the South, as well as several drivers in the East & North East. But we are still looking for good reps in the MidWest.

the vp tires are just as good as aka and proline's. Cant wait to get my hands on the newer ones they have coming out

anybody know when the new TRUGGY tires are coming out?

Gene,

I can think of a couple good ones. LMK ;) We have a couple guys around here that are good mentors and great drivers. :)

VP-Pro USA Tires now available without inserts.

$12.99 a pair street price

Somewhere around the 2 more months mark is what I have heard. Hopefully sooner lol. I want to test them out.:nod:

A Truggy axeman will be sweet, looking forward to there release

Any word on when the new buggy tires will get here?

Saw the new buggy tires today they are sweeeeet.....

what about truggy!...there are alot of guys wanting a new tread for truggy!:nod:

I've never been to a track that STR Turbo Trax did not work good.

Even indoor tracks were Barcodes & taper pins are supposed to be all that works. About half the field was using Ultra Flexx Turbo Trax at the New Years Nitro Blast. They TQ'd & Won 1/8 Pro Truggy, 1/8 Pro Buggy, 1/8 Sportsman Buggy, and I think 1/8 Sportsman Truggy - 1st and 2nd were on turbo trax when I stopped watching.
