I’m actually really glad you had a backflip in the video for comparison. I have and really only ran backflips. Thinking about the magmas since they came out. Thanks for the video. Was always wanting to compare both
Hopefully the replaceable hex is on those are tougher than the Pro-Line once I swear Pro-Line made those to break so you have to buy their aluminum ones for $50 per two, it's funny how the aluminum ones are actually thicker around where the screws go in there's more material around the screw area and that's where the plastic ones break
@@rufusyoungblood9274 Gear down. I forgot to mention that I was taking a risk by gearing it that high. Just wanted to see the tires balloon at higher speeds. Good question!
Backflips have always been my favorite tire whether the lp or the regular backflips but I would like to try both of those tires you're using I'd like to know what the weight difference is,😊 never mind you just weighed them
They both look awesome, but I'm leaning towards the Magmas. I really like how aggressive they look, and they might be better for the sand! Great video, I just subscribed.👍👍👍👍
10:54 you said they weren’t ballooning, but I didn’t see you make a hi speed pass, and then punch it to pull the front wheels and I’m looking more or less to see if the rim just Storch the inside of the rims I have a oftna lx2 on 6s 10k with the castle 1/8 and I destroy rims the egg shape on the inside and then blow the tire off
Hi, great video but it was good to see a comparison of how well balanced these wheels are, because I have my big rock 6s Method terraform, the old one and they are not balanced very well and the car at high speeds is unstable and maybe it damages the bearings very easily. I think the quality/price ratio is on the side of the backflip 6s, the best wheels for me
Hey there. Great video! You answered a lot of questions I had, and I'm sure a lot of other people did. Those magmas are monsters! Would you happen to know if the hex socket was deeper than normal?
@@DozersRCPlay-vf4pd I really appreciate that feedback! I just checked and neither tire has a deeper socket than any of my other tires. Thanks for supporting the channel!
Do you have the SCX6 Jeep? I would love to know if they fit on that. It would be a BEASt crawling with the JConcepts Magmas. I would get a set. But concerned about clearance with the shocks. The 6s kraton tires were nice, but they did not clear the shocks.
Interesting idea. I don't have it, sorry. The only thing I could do is tell you how the size compares to the Copperhead 2 tires, which I think is what you are referring to on the Kraton. Don't forget to subscribe for more content!
The J Concept will be EPIC on my Big Rock 6S. What pinion were you running in the K6 EXB? I run a 15T in my K6 EXB so these would be a bit much for this setup huh?
@@spenn2007 they will be great on that! I mentioned it in the performance section of the video, but I ran a 16 tooth. It was definitely too high so I will probably gear down in the future. Maybe 14? But it still took it like a champ!
Have you had any issues with the cups breaking? Those magmas look cool but I'd worry about stressing out those cups from all that I've heard they are a weak link... BTW I think you were one of the few helpful people commenting on my recent fb post lol
really good review, +1 more sub ! cool thing with beadlock, you can easly repair a puncture on the tyre with a piece of bike inner tube from inside. de-gluing tyres are a pain in butt to do without messing up the foam.
Thats awesome to know and have confirmed. I recently repaired a tear in my Kagama tire and used flexible super glue but also put a rubber backing so there's some backbone to the torn area. Hope it works!
@@insanebmxthomasshoe goo is great on ripped tires because it's slightly flexible and super strong. That said, with gluing ripped tires, I've only ever had success when the tear was NOT where the tire makes contact with the wheel. That always ended in tears for me, at high speed. That's on 3s. I actually just got my Roller Kagama today. The Max 8 combo arrives tomorrow and I can't wait.
@@direllterry2542 Thanks for watching Wayne! I've never heard that specifically. But as you can see near the end I did like that extra cushion on landings with non-belted tires.
Definitely eyeing those Magma’s for my Fireteam, great video, very useful info 👍🏻

Totally!
Thanks for doing the review. The only problem is I’m going to buy both.
@@craighallett5007 You need to!!
My fav tires are those that provide the most "air control". These look great imo. New subscriber. Happy trails.
"Beadlock". I prefer rims with them. Never heard that term b4. Majority of my rims have fake beadlock. TY as well for providing the links to buy em.
For sure! Glad I could help! Thanks for the support

💭🤔 So do you have to gear up or gear down when using heavier tires?
@@rufusyoungblood9274 Gear down. I forgot to mention that I was taking a risk by gearing it that high. Just wanted to see the tires balloon at higher speeds. Good question!
Thanks I really appreciate it I am a newbie to the RC game/hobby sport 🤛🏽🦾💪🏽
@rufusyoungblood9274 awesome man! Keep at it. Thanks for watching!
Excellent vid I just subbed. Been looking for new Kagama tires, I current have backflips, they are great all round tires.
@@jagergerg9771 Glad it helped! I appreciate the support!!
nice comparison...l only run backflips with K6s
@@MuscleAKAOzzy You've got to try one of these. But backflips are the best bang for the buck!

@@macmccartney5760 😁. Thanks for watching!
I wish they made those magmas the same size as the proline badlands, around 5.5inches tall, they would be crazy
Badlands are cool too! A little shorter, but possibly wider.
Great job on this video, kudos man.
Thank you!

I'm not sure what you mean. Rewatch the video from 9:49-10:26. The GeoForms definitely don't balloon.

Yeah, I realized you did. I see Connecticut has a lot of good bashing spots. I'm in northeast Pa, I have to get up there.
You definitely do! Are there any spots out that way?
Some 1/8 tracks but that's about it.
We hit large park's, and abandoned dirt lands too.

@@ICRC83 enclosing the center diff
@@ICRC83 Yea the out drive cups
It's surprising that the Jay concepts weigh more than the method RC being that they are not belted
I know right? It's because they have so much rubber tread plus lots of screws front and back for the beadlock.
really good review, +1 more sub !

Out of curiosity how much do you think the foam weighs in the magmas?

I hear the belted are not great for what we do i hear. Thoughts 🤔

Your welcome, I didn't finish watching yet, I will after work.
I personally wouldn't try to flip with belted tires . Ballooning help you rotate . Simple math
@@direllterry2542 on the big screen!!
The 16t pinion is not for bashing with this motor and big wheels :))
You're not wrong.. Lol
So would you gear her up or get down with bigger tires and heavy weight?
Gear to a lower pinion, like 14t maybe.
Magma def looks aggressive but method looks cooler IMHO
@@tps4876 good call. I agree
looks like you would have to reduce your gearing with the size of the tyres
@@MARTINHOBSON-c5j yes, good call.
Issue is weight, aggressive pattern on both for sure. Manufacturers need to improve on weight imo. Its harder on the diffs/mechanics to.
@@shawnscott9704 very true!
They look good . But I'm not digging the weight
@@Shellzwick I hear ya! Thanks for watching.
Those cheap concepts are nasty looking 👍👌
J Concepts really should be ashamed of themselves for releasing a tire that baloons THAT much...
That may be why they put such a heavy duty beadlock on there 🤷
