Pit Bull Rock Beast 1.9 XL First Drive and Comparison

Nick and I had a chance for an extended first drive and comparison of the all new Pit Bull Rock Beast 1.9 XL tires on our SCX10 rigs (with NC60 axles, of course!). Afterward, we sat down for an in-depth interview with Desmond Mooney from Pit Bull to talk about these amazing new tires.

I love my 1.55 rock beasts, 1.55 growlers and about to try the 1.9 MAD BEAST

[@new2rocks753]

I'm with you on the RBs and Growlers, but the Mad Beasts don't do as much for me.

Pro-Line Racing G8 in any tread pattern = $27.16. Pit Bull Rock Beast XL 1.9" = $39.99. I love the Pit Bull Raceline Injector #931 1.9" beadlock wheels!!! But are the tires worth the extra money over the P.L.R. G8???

[@new2rocks753]

BUILTLIGHTWOUNDTIGHT - if you’re going to compare prices, you have to take foams into account. The stock Pro-Line foams are not good, so you have to get 2-stage foams to make them work well. The RB XLs come with Pit Bull’s new single stage foam that works very well (though hard core comp guys will still want to switch them out for 2-stage foams). That evens out the price differential. Overall, from a pure performance perspective, I still take the RB XLs any day over the PL Swamper XLs, even with stock single stage foams in the RBs and CI 2-stage foams in the Swampers.

new2rocks, good to know! And thank you for the reply!!

[@BUILTLIGHTWOUNDTIGHT]

See that's my problem! I thought the stock G8 tires was most impressive, because I was running 1.9" & 2.2" R35 Ripsaw tires Pryor to the G8. So as impressive as I thought they was, I'm kinda happy that I never had a chance, to enter any serious competitions! I would have been spanked!!! :(

[@BUILTLIGHTWOUNDTIGHT]

Been preaching for years, that the tires make the truck!!! ;)

[@new2rocks753]
