Great Video, because of what was not in it. No 5 minute selfie intro, No continous empty words, just a factual and demonstrable comparison. Excellent Video, and i am in South China with nothing else to do on a quiet evening.
the info you give make me happy, why i buy the gen 7 yesterday and the result you show impresme to much and my gen 7 will be in stock tire for ever, thanks a lots really helpful info, you save me money
Best test of tires I've ever seen. You need to do more testing of other r/c parts. Great video! I was placing bets at the beginning to see which tire would win. I lost.
LoL I lost my own bet too. Take a look at my other videos on the channel. I’ve tested a lot of stuff including servos and lipos along with other tires and some new products too.
Badass ramp test! Make those out of a multitude of composites and u have quite the arena all on its own! So far I've only had the Gmade Komodo tires that come with it, and as long as u don't chew em up rudely, they do rather well but I'm rather impressed by your options 👏
great video, at first I thought the ramp was a bit optimistic in the angle/surface texture and thought all the tires would perform poorly. Happily surprised, lol.
These 1/10th cars still apply the principles of offroading. 1/10th scale tire rpm and grip principles. Lowering the voltage down equivalent to a doublers low range, will drastically reduce the wheelspin, and enhance the traction. The truck with the slowest roll on any of those tires that grip even a little, will creep right up to the top the slower you go. Wayyyy too much wheel spin on the first two tires. However, I imagine, its hard to get motor rpms that slow with the trigger setup. So it is what it is.
Yeah I’ve been posting I want stock ones for $20 shipped. LoL I’d like to see what they would do in nice wheels with good foams. They’d be right there with the Gold KLR’s I’m sure.
Well I have more coming up with the Proline Hyrax, Pitbull Rockbeast, KLR (same ones you see here) and the Duratrax Deepwoods. I can tell you this, either the Hyrax or the KLR’s are the way to go, the KLR’s don’t come with foams so they are more expensive.
If I can find a suitable spot to get a controlled test on rocks and other surfaces I will. I tried on a rock pile and the darn truck went right up every line I could find that didn’t have axle grabbers, can’t test like that when everything goes right up.
The Gen 7 tire was the only one that caused a backflip. It was CG limited, not grip limited. To really call a winner I would need to see how the Redcat tires do with the same weighted wheels and foams. Weight and foams make a massive difference when grip is not the limiting factor.
lol, yeah on most comp courses you do find wood obstacles, this was a was to get some form of consistency for the test. I have quite a few other tire tests with rocks and dirt if you want to see them.
I had a gen 7 but upgraded to a sport and I actually used the redcat tires today on a crawl and I ain't gunna lie..... It really impressed me and another friend as well. Gun a run them some more to test the waters
That was an awesome test. I also was impressed with the performance of the stock tires I bet you that with aluminum wheels they will perform as good as the Klrs. Great job great video
I like the cheaper wheels as well both 2.2 & 1.9 odd though, i have never heard of most thise tires, i run Proline, PitBulls , Rovers etc going on smoth wood good test but, i was introduced to the hobby with a 10th scale Axial Scorpion with 2.2, i don't get much into scale, i have a Rubicon lifted, but I run competition rigs
NICE TEST VIDEO !!!!... i actually just got some OTTSIX KLR SILVERS for my buggy there sweet awesome traction , and for the price of 25$ i wasnt complaining
I actually really like the Redcat Iroks. They're officially licensed, aggressive tread, come in 1.9 and 2.2, and they seem to grip amazing. At least on my Gen8.
LoL I know! They were actually the 3rd test and I was surprised, they were the only ones to get grip enough to flip it backwards. It’s possible since they were stock weight, they didn’t have enough to hold the front down.
never in a million years would i have thought that was possible traxxas just knows how to make a good looking tire, making it have traction also is just too hard for them!! i would think that weight is only and advantage @ less then 45 degrees, @ 60 degrees the weight is probably more a disadvantage then advantage because of gravity
You of all people know that each and every tire are good for certain situations and terrains. This is just a wood test.... for instance my box stock traxxas tire out performs my high dollar ottsix and proline tires on the trails and rocks.... hard to explain. The swampers definitely have their place in the crawling world as all of them do. Good video overall
Nice test!... I think the redcat tires may not work good when they get wet it felt like that to me but I am not sure...maybe wet tires and wet wood climb test =)
Great test. Try a set of duratrax deep woods c3. I have never tested them on a piece of plywood like your test but they are typically what I run and in most all conditions they have outperformed all the other tires I've tried up to this point
Great Test! Just got the pro Redcat and have upgraded to aluminum wheels. Thanks to your test I'll stick with stock tires, and the pro has the memory foam. I live in Eastern Carolina so like you not a lot of natural Rock and Hill
I've seen a few posts about the memory foam hardening up in cold temps. I for one am not a fan of memory foams, I want the tires to absorb and rebound quickly, the best foams are Crawler Innovations Lil Nova. I compete with them and win a lot.
Spot on re: foams...just found that out after trying to run in 40 degrees. Ordered some open cell foam for winter running. I'm new to the crawler scene so lots to learn from guys like you.
Are any of the wheels and tires that performed worse than the stock redcat wheels and tires vented? I've heard tires and wheels not being vented prevents some from performing as well as vented wheels and tires. I'd like to know before I started cutting holes in tires though.
I like how about 5:40 shes diggin with them good tires n starts soundin like a ol stubborn beast you're tryna get to hit a lick lol pumpin away n hopin em daggum double pumper diapharms'z still good
I agree with you, its amazing this video has so many views so I am putting together a new one using new Pitbull Rockbeast XL's, new Proline Hyrax, new Duratrax Deepwoods and using the KLR Golds you see in this video, all using the same wheel and using the foams that came with the tires so stay tuned for those as they are coming up soon.
You’re welcome, what’s neat is I go into these tests with my own expectations and so far I haven’t been right once as to what wins. Got a motor test coming up tomorrow with the Gen7, the results for that one are very clear.
Good job., wood is very different than rock or stone. I think if done wet the outcome could be way off. I’ve had cheap Chinese knock off climb wood better than top brand.., till there a surface with actual grit...
funny thing happen to me the other day when I was out playing with my Redcat gen 7 pro. Me and my brother went out to this lake the had lowered the water 5ft. we were in our kayaks and the Redcat pro in a blowup boat being pulled by the kayak. well on our way back the wind started to pick up and low and behold the blowup boat flipped over with the Redcat in it. yep there I was watching my almost $300 rock crawler sinking to the bottom of the lake (which is 100ft deep). I have never felt so helpless in my life. The wind was 25mhp and the water is like 40 degrees. The lesson I learned in this was didn't get to attached to things. so i now i no rock crawler.
I was on a floating house in the Amazon (on a "lake(like water)" called Lago Catalao, that is connecting Rio Negro and Rio Solimoes/Amazonas), battery got low (they fail soon after some times in the tropics), sitting on a stage of the floating house aside the water, my Blade Chroma coming back... and about 2 or 3 m from me battery got down fully and it sank. I put rx aside rapidly, and jumped into the water and could catch it in about 2 m depth :) - after drying everything worked fine again (maybe not the battery).
About the Red Cat car, is it a good crawler? - its pretty cheap compared to the Traxxas and Axials - we do have a seller for the brand now - its a brand we never heard of before here in the northern countries, (Northern Scandinavia) greets Levi
Who do you order those Chinese wheels from? Any particular place? I was amazed at how well the Redcat tires hooked up on the plywood, then the KLR Gold were even better. Very impressed. Not too surprised at how bad the Traxxas tires did. I have owned several Traxxas rigs, and the tires were the first to go. The swampers are more designed for mud, not so much for smooth surfaces, so to be fair, do a test with them on a muddy surface, and other types of surfaces to see how each of them do on them. You will be surprised at how well they do.
Awesome work, it will be nice if you do a high speed test on this particular tires, I mean a good tire have to be good in all type of terrain.. "By the way I just find you and just subscribed" thanks for posting.
Thanks, how fast do you want? Most scalers don't go much past 20mph at the most and any of these will get that easy, I have a video of this truck getting 44mph on stock tires if that helps.
In honesty I don't need any speed at all! I use to drag race in NY... but that was using nitro engines... so there's not real comparison! I do remember having a hard time getting good traction... beside of the foam tires.. but that is not applicable... thanks for the response.
Which rock is wood? My bro run the TRX4 Bronco and sport on his stock tires and foams on wet sharp rocks with very good climbing results i have a hard day to follow him with my SCX 10 ll (Free Men)on my Louise rowdy tires on aluminium Austar wheels.You can watch the video on my channel.
Great comparison test! Begs the question why pay such top dollar for TRX and other manufacturers when Red cat stuff is just as good and better! AND your test of the red cat tire was not even fair lol! Maybe you can take the two winners and try them put with same foam / wheel instead of plastic vs metal.... the weight diff may be the only thing preventing red cat from taking the win?
I apperciate your test tiers! I buy to many tiers and some do better other bad. I been just starting to use (12mm hex hub Inflatable 2.2 Inch Beadlock Tire Wheel For Rock Crawler Truck) they are okay except a bad rubber vaules for use. I do like them so far! Thanks!
I like my redcat Everest. The only thing is it doesn't turn very sharp at all. Everything stock, it out climbs all of my trucks. Two screws on front of axle hit the turnbuckle and will only allow about 30° of turning.
That's great if you're climbing smooth board surfaces...a non agressive type tire like a racing slick would do better. Do a actual rock climb with them though. I'm willing to bet the most agressive lug tire will dominate in real world situations.
Couple questions for ya. Forgive me if some of them seem ignorant, I'm relatively new to the crawler scene. 1, Is there any particular reason you didn't try out the popular Pro-line Hyrax? 2, Why was your FR tire lifting from the surface and can that be fixed or is it just a geometry issue with the Redcat? 3, How big a difference would it make strictly in this test using a 1.95 vs 2.2s?
Great Video, because of what was not in it. No 5 minute selfie intro, No continous empty words, just a factual and demonstrable comparison. Excellent Video, and i am in South China with nothing else to do on a quiet evening.
lol thanks, I have a lot more tire test and other videos on the way so stay tuned.
Great video watched to the end 😊 did not think any would do it after the first few, epic 👍🤘
Thanks for telling us when the video starts. That was pretty conscientious.
I love the sound of the second to the last set, they even sounded real, chirp,chirp,chirp,chirp,chirp, lol soo cool, great video
Yeah they sure do
Jon H i shit myself
Very interesting test. I can't believe how well the stock redcat tires performed.
Haven't ever owned a proper RC anything but still fun to see that little crawler at the edge of traction.
That is a Redcat Everest 10 Gen7 scaler. They are only about $200 RTR. It’s a low cost way into the scaler world of RC’s
the info you give make me happy, why i buy the gen 7 yesterday and the result you show impresme to much and my gen 7 will be in stock tire for ever, thanks a lots really helpful info, you save me money
I'm loving the china wheels I can't stop buying them! lol
Yeah I’ve never had a cheap metal wheel fail.
same, only got 1 chassis and 6 sets of wheels.

Exocaged RC I will definitely check those out
Excellent test. Had me glued to the screen from start to stop.
Thank you. I’ll have a wet ramp test up tomorrow or Thursday.
Quadcopter 101 ?
Yep, that's me.
Quadcopter 101 k
I have no idea why but that was very addictive to watch....beautiful looking truck.......
I can't believe how well those stock gen 7 tires hooked up!!! And then those poor trx 4 tires didn't hardly make it to the tape 😂😂😂
LoL no they didn’t. Pretty bad, heck the proline swampers barely got off the base board!
Do we know if the gen 8 tires are the same as these gen 7s? I'm looking into both but if the stock 7 tires are better I'll likely go with that.
No bullshit simple grip test, timestamp for the action, valued youtuber ! Thumbs up
Badass ramp test! Make those out of a multitude of composites and u have quite the arena all on its own! So far I've only had the Gmade Komodo tires that come with it, and as long as u don't chew em up rudely, they do rather well but I'm rather impressed by your options 👏
Awesome idea limiting the throttle so many reviewers just give it more juice for the tires they like. Awesome comparison.
Cool video, awesome to see the stock Gen7 wheels and tires do so well.
They are an awesome tire for sure
great video, at first I thought the ramp was a bit optimistic in the angle/surface texture and thought all the tires would perform poorly. Happily surprised, lol.
Damn. I bet redcat would love this as a promo video. Awesome video brother.
I think one of them are subbed so maybe they’ll see it.
See if they can send you a Danchee Ridgerock! I'm curious what you would break/upgrade first :D
That was super impressive. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome video brother , I like the stock rubber that came with my Gen 7, not to shabby I'd say for a stock tire 👍
The stock Gen7 tires are really awesome.
Wow. Very educational and surprising. Thanks
Sweet video, never thought the truck would get past halfway or so. Earned my sub...

Great vid brother, big thumbs up 👍👍👍👍👍
I still love the Swamper tires! Even though they failed miserably in this test...
I’ve won a lot of comps with them but things change and compounds get better, plus I like the KLR tires.
wow love the tier test great video

Enjoyed the video - well made very informative.
Wow what a video.. those redcats rock
Great video!
Nice job man 👍🏻👍🏻 Very informative.
Excellent review my friend!
Dude pretty impressive what the difference in tire is. Those Redcat tires sound like actual full scale tires barking.
yep they sure do and still work great
Impressive rig
Liked the test! I have to say i was really impressed with the gen7 stock tires.
Yeah I’ve been posting I want stock ones for $20 shipped. LoL I’d like to see what they would do in nice wheels with good foams. They’d be right there with the Gold KLR’s I’m sure.
That's pretty amazing. Now only if my real truck had that kind of traction.
Good test vid..very interesting .....thanks...
Excellent comparison vid!.. could only be improved by same wheels/ weights... Those stock cheapo wheels were the biggest winner I'd say..
Yeah I agree. Maybe one day I can do a test like you describe.
Thanks for your test. I finally got a conclusion what I need to buy.
Well I have more coming up with the Proline Hyrax, Pitbull Rockbeast, KLR (same ones you see here) and the Duratrax Deepwoods. I can tell you this, either the Hyrax or the KLR’s are the way to go, the KLR’s don’t come with foams so they are more expensive.
Thanks. I look forward to watching your next video.
Interesting... For my valuation tires
Awesome video and test!
Killer video man i love watching these type of testing videos
If I can find a suitable spot to get a controlled test on rocks and other surfaces I will. I tried on a rock pile and the darn truck went right up every line I could find that didn’t have axle grabbers, can’t test like that when everything goes right up.
excellent true test tire review thanks
The Gen 7 tire was the only one that caused a backflip. It was CG limited, not grip limited. To really call a winner I would need to see how the Redcat tires do with the same weighted wheels and foams. Weight and foams make a massive difference when grip is not the limiting factor.
Awesome video!!
I have a hard time finding plywood rocks in my local hills. I usually find granite rocks. Hehe😈
lol, yeah on most comp courses you do find wood obstacles, this was a was to get some form of consistency for the test. I have quite a few other tire tests with rocks and dirt if you want to see them.
I had a gen 7 but upgraded to a sport and I actually used the redcat tires today on a crawl and I ain't gunna lie..... It really impressed me and another friend as well. Gun a run them some more to test the waters
yeah they are really good tires
Great video, wet comparison would be interesting please
Yeah that’s on the schedule for this weekend. I’ll probably drop the 60 degrees down to about 45 as I doubt any will make the top.
That was an awesome test. I also was impressed with the performance of the stock tires I bet you that with aluminum wheels they will perform as good as the Klrs. Great job great video
Thank you, I have tires and wheels ordered for another set of tests so stay tuned.
Good vid dude 👍 would like to see you do the same test using the trx 4 😃
With the added weight it may change results but I’m not sure by how much.
Really a great video mate keep it up , subbed .
Great video👍 really shows tires do matter! I wonder how my tires would do 🤔
Sweet comparison very good job I didn't have that much luck with my stock tires on the plywood challenge
I was surprised at how well the Gen7 tires did.

Wow, great info. How about a link to those winners. I just bought an Everest Pro myself. I can't find exact tires online though ?
I like the cheaper wheels as well both 2.2 & 1.9 odd though, i have never heard of most thise tires, i run Proline, PitBulls , Rovers etc going on smoth wood good test but, i was introduced to the hobby with a 10th scale Axial Scorpion with 2.2, i don't get much into scale, i have a Rubicon lifted, but I run competition rigs
NICE TEST VIDEO !!!!... i actually just got some OTTSIX KLR SILVERS for my buggy there sweet awesome traction , and for the price of 25$ i wasnt complaining
I love my KLR tires, I’ve won a bunch of comps with them.
Great tyre test man
Thank you. I have more tire tests on the way I’m just waiting for them all to arrive.
I actually really like the Redcat Iroks. They're officially licensed, aggressive tread, come in 1.9 and 2.2, and they seem to grip amazing. At least on my Gen8.
Great video, makes me want to mod my crawler and get some steep angle climbs
I call shenanigans on the stock tires... Lol.
WOW, wasn't expecting that !!
LoL I know! They were actually the 3rd test and I was surprised, they were the only ones to get grip enough to flip it backwards. It’s possible since they were stock weight, they didn’t have enough to hold the front down.
Asian wheels all the way !!! Great stuff and GREAT PRICES! I’m with you 100%
I’ve never had a cheap wheel fail.
Edge of my seat while you were running the stock RedCats..!
Hahahhahhahaahahaha
Keep the good work with that
Good job on the video man!
never in a million years would i have thought that was possible
traxxas just knows how to make a good looking tire, making it have traction also is just too hard for them!!
i would think that weight is only and advantage @ less then 45 degrees, @ 60 degrees the weight is probably more a disadvantage then advantage because of gravity
Nice video
You of all people know that each and every tire are good for certain situations and terrains. This is just a wood test.... for instance my box stock traxxas tire out performs my high dollar ottsix and proline tires on the trails and rocks.... hard to explain. The swampers definitely have their place in the crawling world as all of them do. Good video overall
J Ho I can’t imagine stock traxxas tires outperforming the KLR tires. The swampers were useless on this test but run great out in the real world.
I like how the one tire made the low pitch when trying to grip.
I have some China tires on my CC01 that bark like real tires every time they spin on stuff, especially wood.
I like it. Adds a sense of realness to it. Lol.
Yes it sure does
Great vid.. stock nice to know!!!
Nice test!... I think the redcat tires may not work good when they get wet it felt like that to me but I am not sure...maybe wet tires and wet wood climb test =)
That’s a thought. I could set up a mist or something so it’s consistent. Hmmm maybe over the holidays who knows.
Great test. Try a set of duratrax deep woods c3. I have never tested them on a piece of plywood like your test but they are typically what I run and in most all conditions they have outperformed all the other tires I've tried up to this point
I have tested them. look at my other videos as they are in 3 tire test videos. They doo good but the stock foams are horribly too soft
nice driving
Maybe build a slippery rock "ramp" (most difficult surface i can think about), because i want to watch how the different tires compare.
I have tires tests on rocks already
If the truck had a little more weight in the front, with stock rcr tires, it probably would have made it.. Awesome, made my decision
I didn't think anything would be better than the gen7
Those stock tires did great
Great Test! Just got the pro Redcat and have upgraded to aluminum wheels. Thanks to your test I'll stick with stock tires, and the pro has the memory foam. I live in Eastern Carolina so like you not a lot of natural Rock and Hill
I've seen a few posts about the memory foam hardening up in cold temps. I for one am not a fan of memory foams, I want the tires to absorb and rebound quickly, the best foams are Crawler Innovations Lil Nova. I compete with them and win a lot.
Spot on re: foams...just found that out after trying to run in 40 degrees. Ordered some open cell foam for winter running. I'm new to the crawler scene so lots to learn from guys like you.
I cannot understand how people think that scaling down a 4x4 automatically scales down physics.
Are any of the wheels and tires that performed worse than the stock redcat wheels and tires vented? I've heard tires and wheels not being vented prevents some from performing as well as vented wheels and tires. I'd like to know before I started cutting holes in tires though.
I like how about 5:40 shes diggin with them good tires n starts soundin like a ol stubborn beast you're tryna get to hit a lick lol pumpin away n hopin em daggum double pumper diapharms'z still good
LoL
unless you're running the same exact wheel and tire diameter for all how can this be a true test of performance?
I agree with you, its amazing this video has so many views so I am putting together a new one using new Pitbull Rockbeast XL's, new Proline Hyrax, new Duratrax Deepwoods and using the KLR Golds you see in this video, all using the same wheel and using the foams that came with the tires so stay tuned for those as they are coming up soon.
Cool,I look forward to seeing it,thanks for doing these tests,thanks!
You’re welcome, what’s neat is I go into these tests with my own expectations and so far I haven’t been right once as to what wins. Got a motor test coming up tomorrow with the Gen7, the results for that one are very clear.
Good job., wood is very different than rock or stone. I think if done wet the outcome could be way off.
I’ve had cheap Chinese knock off climb wood better than top brand.., till there a surface with actual grit...
I agree. Those swampers were horrible on this test but run great out on the trail or a course
You should get a traxxas defender and see how one of those do. I just got one a few days ago and I'm pretty impressed
Yeah I have had once since they first came out. It has a red and white bronco body. Look through my other videos as I have a bunch of that truck.
Another victory for Redcat..... Look out Traxxas!
Dude in stock form Gen7 vs TRX, my money would be on the Gen7. I love my Traxxas but this Gen7 is no joke.
I have a gen7pro and a axial scx10 II , I'm telling ya the gen7 keeps right up with it, redcats come a long way cant wait to see their gen8
funny thing happen to me the other day when I was out playing with my Redcat gen 7 pro. Me and my brother went out to this lake the had lowered the water 5ft. we were in our kayaks and the Redcat pro in a blowup boat being pulled by the kayak. well on our way back the wind started to pick up and low and behold the blowup boat flipped over with the Redcat in it. yep there I was watching my almost $300 rock crawler sinking to the bottom of the lake (which is 100ft deep). I have never felt so helpless in my life. The wind was 25mhp and the water is like 40 degrees. The lesson I learned in this was didn't get to attached to things. so i now i no rock crawler.

I put rx aside rapidly, and jumped into the water and could catch it in about 2 m depth :) - after drying everything worked fine again (maybe not the battery).
Those red cats are pretty impressive. Does anyone know the diameter of those tires?
not really sure what the specs are but on the table they are just as tall as the KLR tires and they say they are 4.75"
About the Red Cat car, is it a good crawler? - its pretty cheap compared to the Traxxas and Axials - we do have a seller for the brand now - its a brand we never heard of before here in the northern countries, (Northern Scandinavia) greets Levi
It’s a decent beginners truck that can be built up very well.
@@ExocagedRC thanks!
Im curious on if the stock gen7 tires would have made it the top if they had medal rims thanks for the video keep it up.
With a bit more weight yeah I think they would have
Awesome video, liked and subed
Thank you
Who do you order those Chinese wheels from? Any particular place?
I was amazed at how well the Redcat tires hooked up on the plywood, then the KLR Gold were even better. Very impressed. Not too surprised at how bad the Traxxas tires did. I have owned several Traxxas rigs, and the tires were the first to go.
The swampers are more designed for mud, not so much for smooth surfaces, so to be fair, do a test with them on a muddy surface, and other types of surfaces to see how each of them do on them. You will be surprised at how well they do.
for sure I've been running the swampers for years and they work great, just not on wood. I want to do mud and sand soon. I get my wheels from ebay.
Awesome work, it will be nice if you do a high speed test on this particular tires, I mean a good tire have to be good in all type of terrain.. "By the way I just find you and just subscribed" thanks for posting.

Which rock is wood? My bro run the TRX4 Bronco and sport on his stock tires and foams on wet sharp rocks with very good climbing results i have a hard day to follow him with my SCX 10 ll (Free Men)on my Louise rowdy tires on aluminium Austar wheels.You can watch the video on my channel.
On every course I’ve ever run on there are wooden built obstacles.
Everest stock wheels did amazing wow
Great comparison test! Begs the question why pay such top dollar for TRX and other manufacturers when Red cat stuff is just as good and better! AND your test of the red cat tire was not even fair lol! Maybe you can take the two winners and try them put with same foam / wheel instead of plastic vs metal.... the weight diff may be the only thing preventing red cat from taking the win?
I have 2 new sets of the redcat tires so I may try that. Supposed to be getting a new set of KLR tires too. The newest ones.
me gusto mucho el video..desde colombia
I apperciate your test tiers! I buy to many tiers and some do better other bad. I been just starting to use (12mm hex hub Inflatable 2.2 Inch Beadlock Tire Wheel For Rock Crawler Truck) they are okay except a bad rubber vaules for use. I do like them so far! Thanks!
You change anything on this from out of the box like suspension or add weight anywhere?
no added weight, stock suspension
I like my redcat Everest. The only thing is it doesn't turn very sharp at all. Everything stock, it out climbs all of my trucks. Two screws on front of axle hit the turnbuckle and will only allow about 30° of turning.
you can trim the steering limits on the knuckles to get more steering.
Exocaged RC thanks. I'll try that. If I can get it to turn better, I'll get another one.
interesting nice comparison, cant go wrong with china wheels!
Where at on Florida? I just moved here from WV and having a hard time finding anywhere to rc. crawler/ trail truck.
I’m in and around Jacksonville, so north east Florida.
Exocaged RC do you know where green cove Springs is? I just ordered a gen 7 sport and would be interested in comparing and learning how to use it.
I'm the oppisite I just moved from Florida to WV
That's great if you're climbing smooth board surfaces...a non agressive type tire like a racing slick would do better. Do a actual rock climb with them though. I'm willing to bet the most agressive lug tire will dominate in real world situations.
I have done tire testing on rocks. Look at my other tire testing videos as I have quite a lot of them.

Couple questions for ya. Forgive me if some of them seem ignorant, I'm relatively new to the crawler scene. 1, Is there any particular reason you didn't try out the popular Pro-line Hyrax? 2, Why was your FR tire lifting from the surface and can that be fixed or is it just a geometry issue with the Redcat? 3, How big a difference would it make strictly in this test using a 1.95 vs 2.2s?
