Anybody ever order the super swampers from Fireball modelworks?

[Mike C.]

I'm assuming all the off road wheels he offers fit them also what's the difference with the regular and weighted tires? 

Thanks. Mike

Thanks. Mike

The weighted ones look like they are on a vehicle and are slightly flattened where the tread would touch the ground, to give the impression of the tire being compressed by the weight of a vehicle.  I have sets of both (FMR-170-regular and FMR-171-weighted) and it is a subtle difference.

Thanks Rob. And you get 4 tires for the $12 right ?

Yes.  It’s hard to see the difference, but the tire on the bottom is weighted and the left side is slightly flattened.

I gotta get a set of those 5 slots.

Thanks again.

$ 12 is for a set of 4 tires . Correct?

Thanks Rob. I also heard back from Joseph.

I built this Moebius Ford F-100 4x4 using them. Very nice product

They look better than I was expecting.

Joseph is a great guy to work with.  I've certainly been impressed with his stuff.

Appears orders will be delayed a while. Joe was in a pretty bad accident but said he's doing OK. Talks about it on his website.

You can't go wrong ordering from Fireball. Buy with confidence. Joseph is top notch when it comes to his offering. There's nobody better better.

That is a bad news!  Wishing him speedy recovery.

FYI: Joseph is fully-recovered from his accident and Fireball is back-up and running. Ordered a 4-tire set of BF Goodrich All-Terrain tires and they arrived in one week... fabulous products!

Time to give Joseph some of my money.
