- Picked up a set of the new Badlands with the new Raid wheels. These wheels come with interchangeable hubs allowing to change the offset with out having to buy no wheels.

Best tires made, I've had them on my 2WD for 2 years now and I'd never go back to the stock tires. I have a heat sink on my motor with a fan and never have heat problems. Took some time figuring out the right ratio but once I got it I haven't changed a thing. Great looking ride man.
What gear ratio did you end up with? I'm thinking about doing this with mine. I like running a 3S but my motor likes to overheat. Looking into a Mamba X setup and 2200mkv motor.
Will those bigger tired burn up the motor/and servo?
I like the colour match of the arms to the green in the body. Thanks for sharing.
That is the greatest wheel upgrade👍 changing just the hex size is very cool😁👍👍 great video😁🍻
Heck yeah the rustler deserves the attention. Wish my slash was as good as the rustler
I got Rustler and bought Slash (2wheel drive) later just to have one shortcourse truck - loving it how the wide body with wheels hidden under moves when it turns and it jumps nicely as well. Two different trucks and both good to have :)
Those tires looks beastly! :D loving the green suspension bars, they fit very nicely with the green shell.
A-arms
Nice tires and I do love the new Proline hub changing wheels they looks cool with the screws around the center. These will be my next tires once I wear out the stock tires I think! No more buying tires for me until I use and wear out what I have haha have too many tires in storage
I like the green accents, which are one of the attributes and reasons I generally go with Traxxas bashers. 😜
But those are aftermarket!
Love the Rustler, I have an xmaxx but there is just something about the rustler on 3s that makes me grin
The rustler is an amazing ride.
@@talonvaughn6175 same here... it is so wild on 3s that it really tests a good driver - and it does this job also because the stock tires which are great for fast and stable drifting.. Im trying these Prolines now for jumps and have to say guys - Rustler looks so much better with them (which I couldnt even think before) - it is right on the edge of the size ratio (wheels / body) - actually perfect. Hopefully Im not gonna overheat motor 🙂
One time I ran 3.8s on my stampede with 17 mm hubs through the snow. Worked pretty well
Those hop-ups look sweet bro!
I hope they still sell these wheels. Getting a Rustler this Saturday. I want to upgrade to those. Nice looking wheels.
I got those badlands on my rustler 4x4 vxl they really fun changes the way the car feels have fun.
Got these tires, but they wobble like hell in the front, and in the rear they stand so narrow and have so much toe-in that they scrape the body. Guess you have wider arms on your Rustler, but then it would be a shame that I didn't hear about any of that in the video. The wheels themselves are great. It's not their fault they're not fitting.
That looks awesome!
Your Rustler looks fantastic
Cant find a video of your rustler running with the new tires? :/ could have put a little running footage in.
Yea its a shame, get us all hyped then end the vid lol
First ever video I’ve washed of yours but I love it I’ve subbed
Thank you. :)
Jason Perrin yeah love the videos I’ve been watching them
Looks great! I am running the same tire set up on mine. I love them. You should dye the chassis black also as I did. :)
@@fcsthememe7987 thanks for clarifying... im sure no one knew what he meant. Thank you..
Have you broken axles with those yet I put super swampers 2.8 on mine and instantly broke left rear axle
Those are a belted tire to help eliminate ballooning.
These are not.
I have a set of these I just need to get the right hubs and I will try them out.
Trucks are made for jump and off road action not to speed run im with u on that one
exactly.. why to speed run once I know my trucks limit. Its just an information and the real fun begins when you start driving it .-)
That's why I bought the 2.8 for the 3s typhon so I can do a ton of flips
Which wheel do your 2.8's have? I want 2.8's with 17mm hex's.
I have 2.8 mx badlands 17mm hex. Direct fit for a 3s typhon. You can literally do flips for days because the tires balloon. Just make sure u vent them
@@joshdunbar9721 Thanks. The Prolines in 2.8 that come with a 17mm hex seem to be discontinued and a bit hard to find. They had F11 rims and 17mm hex. Of course you can buy the 2.8 with 12mm hex buy 17mm hex separately but cost goes up. I actually want them for my Arrma Typhon.
Thanks for the tip.
Looks great dude!
that looks really cool
Great help, was looking to buy.
Have you ran it with these badland? I just wanted to see how much ballooning these do. Great content sir!!
If they're anything like the trenchers, there will be almost zero ballooning
Sick can't buy fast enough and do the same maybe some shocks too
Have you ever tried the actual mini E-Revo (since you mentioned that's what you wanted from this truck)? That tiny thing can easily double-backflip of a tiny jump with Badlands, or triple+ backflip at full send, but sometimes it's just a bit too small so I've been thinking about converting my Slash Ultimate into kind of a mid-point between E-Revo 2.0 and the 1/16 and I don't know if it makes sense to do.
Man I got these wheels for my rustler 4x4 vxl and they look sick but the car is like uncontrollable i just barely tap the throttle and it half backflips and I’m in grass going about half throttle again barely tap the throttle and it flips I’m running a 15 tooth pinion though should I go down or up sorry I’m new to rc if this is obvious
Im gonna try the 2.8 Trenchers- want to see how they do on the Rustler- 3 cell battery- fans and heat sinks on the motor and ESC- stock gear
Just bought my grandson a 4 x 4 Rustler. What other upgrades do you recommend?
Like the tires, considering them for mine. Was wondering if your liking the performance and is your drive train holding up ? Looks sick for sure
I’m dropping to a 9tooth pinion and hopefully it will work well.
Much better with the badlands I have them on my savage xs and they get with the program on grass and dirt
What gearing are u using?is that all you changed was the pinion as far as gearing goes ? Or did you change the spur too?
Oooohhh this is the first time I’m seeing these adapters fire mounted wheels now ok.... dang I’ve been busting my head open looking for the right mounting size for my 8th buggy and long story short yea ok adapters I see lol.... hey so do all mounted tire packages come with both 8th and 10th scale adapters inside???
No they come with 12mm hex adapters. Only a few had 17mm hex but they are discontinuing those.
with these tires do you think its hard on the motor due to a bigger, thicker tire? or does it run the same
Have you had any problems with the hexes on these wheels stripping? I have them and they are too big. I've stripped out a couple which I had to replace, but it's useless since it will happen again. Never had this happen before and I tighten my wheels nice and tight with a ratchet, not the tiny Traxxas tool and I also have good brand new hexes. Any tips? Am I supposed to shim them somehow?
What size pinion is stock on the vxl? I have the brushed version. Im going to upgrade to the max10 combo sct. The rustler got shelved after two weeks for some faster stuff. I want to build it up for my daughter. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you Sir, I like the way you shoot your videos.
After having this tires for some time now what are your thoughts? I recently purchased some Traxxas sledgehammer tires and they tore my rustler apart. Any negative side effects with this upgrade?
How did they tear the rustler apart?
@@KaizerTest the size and weight of the tires just caused lots of issues. At first the rustler seemed almost bulletproof until I put them on. I immediately started breaking axles front and rear. Blew out shock caps and broke steering components and over heated. This was all under the same driving conditions I was driving on before installing the tires. I ended up getting big bore shocks and tekno drive shafts and still bent a drive shaft and broke a cup. Iv since sold the tires on Craigslist and had zero issues on my stock tires but I miss the grip of the bigger tires.
@@ajbirtch7106 Yeah I hear you. I have Slash 4x4 that I had set up with mod1 gears as a speed run car. I managed to get it to 93mph but built a low CG slash and converted my original one back to dirt. BUT I kept it as 6s with mod1 gears. I broke all my axles so put steel one in the rear. Then I put 2.8 Trenchers on and kept breaking front driveshafts almost immediately. Mind you I am beating it silly by jumping it...lol. I will have the vid up in a few days. I finally pulled my Arrma Typhon out to jump it off the same ramp and let me tell you that thing jumps far and flys so straight. I will be starting to drive my Arrma's more now. The Traxxas need too much to make them tough to really bash that might as well get a 6s Arrma from the beginning. I still have a Slash 4x4 dedicated and modded to do speed runs. So far it's up to 105mph but I'm really enjoying the bashing now but it gets very expensive as I am breaking parts every time I go out...lol.
Aj Birtch That’s why you upgrade so you don’t break parts. I upgraded to Traxxas CVD GTR shocks upgraded servo and haven’t had any issues
Here in Australia we don’t have a choice if we want a fan and a heat sink it’s always to hot
Was looking into getting new tire but not sure what I’m gonna get for shocks! I do not like my factory shocks at all. They’re not good at all. My truck bottoms out
I'm confused with the 2.8 wheels. Rustler and stampedes use 2.8s yet the tire sizes are different. I like the stock rustler tire size. I'd just like tires that won't blow apart.
They make the truck stand nicer
Just bought a stampede vxl tsl and these mx28 wheels. Is it difficult to replace the "pinion"? Aren't the different offsets so that the wheels line up like they do with the factory wheels? What are you putting thicker oil in? I just drive mine in training mode and it's plenty fast for me. Just bought it to chase geese and needed these tires to get more traction in grass.
do you have to make any adjustments to the motor when changing wheel types? im new to the whole RC car thing and i have a rustler with stock wheels that dont last very long.
Any issues with over heating running the larger tires? I was after the traxxas sledgehammers but may do these on my rustler instead. Just don’t wanna run it too hot
So with those inserts I can have a half inch offset?
I ran the rustler like that with those tires on the 11 tooth and the ESC and motor temps were okay
Was it cold?
The day I mean
Has that truck even seen the dirt? :-)
"Can't run 2.8's with the VXL system..."
Have those guys not seen the Stampede 4x4 VXL??? It comes stock with 2.8's
My rustler looks just like yours now
Sorry but going from the cold weather Traxxas a-arms to RPM is a downgrade to saggy less functional parts. You can run any wheel on any RC as long as you can regear back to stock final drive ratio. Altho you will have trouble with the weight of those tires on the Velineon system. You will be forced to use a much slower gearing to use them without excess heat.
what gearing combo would you suggest going to these tires ?
Did you change the pinion gear for the bigger tires or leave the stock one in it?
Whats the measurements between the turn buckles To realign the steering?
How do they affect motor temps tho?
Alex Ellis right ! That’s what I want to know also.
Me too!
what is the hex size on the adapter
Does your motor over heat at all? Because I have the trenchers and mine over hewts
Try a lower tooth pinion
Owen Bernard I lowered the pinion still did it... but then I just threw a integy fan on there and it stays cool
@@owenbernard8397 how much time do u run your car before u notice it over heats ?
@@KusshLover323 mine doesn't overheat
@@owenbernard8397 how do i get my rustler 4x4 vxl to go 65 mph without over heating ?
Nice looking truck though for sure.
Looks great do you have any vids of it running the tires?
my rustler with a 3s and the 17t pinion with stock tires can do flips off little bumps i dont understand how you mean by it doesnt flip i also i got a triple backflip on only a 3ft ramp
I have the same car and the tires are on their way. Is it best to use the 10 tooth pinion when using these tires on this setup ? Thx
solving the same issue now - I just put them on but didnt change pinion so far.. will it try on 2s first so motor will not get overheated.. I will appreciate any suggestions - thank you. To be honest Im a bit scared to run it of 3s as the tires are much heavier and it would propably break the plastic shafts etc... lets see
Have you found that the bigger tires have been harder on the plastic drive shafts?
They will most definitely be harder on everything they are bigger and very heavy compared to stock. The car feels very different but it's fun. The weight and traction make it awesome for offroad and it wants to wheelie and flip a lot. I doubt stock axles will last a more than a couple of packs on 3s.
What is the wheel part #
What aarms and toe links you have
Where'd you get this?
Link to where u bought them?
can you fit a turnigy 3s 5000 mah lipo in this car?
Do those tires make a noticeable difference in speed and turn speed and all around handling?
Just handling no speed
Buy belted wheels problem solved no more ballooning
Rip it?
whats the part number on these?
What gearing are you running An are you on 2s or 3s
Stock gearing. And I ran both 2s and 3s.
Will these fit on a stampede
Yep
@@JasonPerrinRCVlogs cool thanks I've lowered my stampede and now it handles great figured these tires would make it look mean
Hot racing makes fans for ESC and motor.....that truck overheats big time without the fans, gear it down FYI....I have a video of my fans on my channel....cheesy but simple
didnt ride it
Why are you using some sort of 3D microphone is very annoying for when you wear earbuds because it always seems like your on the left side
I thought one one size was front and the other size hub was rear I could be wrong anyone else no
2wd is like that I believe.
I want those tires but im so broke;-;
M
So with those inserts I can have a half inch offset?
