as for a comparison to cross force, I can't help out in that regard much as I dont have any on hand. I believe the cross force are softer. These tires are very close in height and width to the stock tamiya tires. They are slightly stiffer also, I think because the walls seem thicker. it seems that they are wedged into the channels on the rims where the bead seats; the tamiya tires fit completely in the bead, whereas these seem to wedge into the bead and not completely fit down in it...

if that makes sense! If you look at the shot of the rear drives, you can almost see that the tire's sidewall doesn't touch the outer edge of the rim.

Hey Rod, Just a quick question. Are you gonna look closer at making the tires fit more properly or are you gonna just leave them the way they are? I did notice in the picture. Curious though if you wouldn't have mentioned it if it was really noticable. But Since we knew what to look for it stuck right out to me.
Nice build so far. I will be watching this to the end. Great job!

thanks for the comments guys. As for the tires, I think I will keep them as is. The thicker sidewall within the rim bead seems to make a tight seat and I believe I won't need to glue the tires, but we'll see.

I did some work this weekend on the dumpbox, looking to post some pics soon
