Right on. I'm running Alt-foams on the gspeed FS an roboslug printed inserts on the Tgh Sherpa build. Both amazing to run. Hardcore RC currently has Alt-foams in stock fresh batch in from Germany the other day. You won't be disappointed get ya some!!!
I remember when I got frustrated asking for a lot of companies to make a HV based car ESC, so I decided to have a not so well known company do some for me, but it was also to prove to someone that a aircraft based esc can work for the car side of the hobby. As I sense the same frustration, are we about to witness a future JRH Crawler? Another great video John.
Maybe the rear sway bar is limiting the flex a little? More flex might help in that terrain. But I’m sure you’ve already considered that. Performance shortcomings aside, such a great looking rig!
When you said scale leaves, and then started talking about how big they were, I immediately thought, "Yes, scale from the Mesozoic era." as you started saying basically the same thing. LMMFAO!
Hey John, great content as usual, really guilty that I had not subscribed, until now. All fixed. Love to see the passing of seasons with different videos, it keeps me company in the relative (partially wanted) solitude of my life ;) I am seriously considering a 3D printer for RC because it looks like a solid investment that repays itself in a short time.
Glad to have you along for the ride, 3D printers are really fun. I just dropped an update to this vid, I may be harsh on it, but this is a GREAT printer. ruclips.net/video/-XQhV1bL7ZU/видео.html
My 10ii isnt the lightest rig ever, and dual stage foams are almost required, but after a few years, i wore them out. Im ready to experiment... perhaps with something like that. Man, id sure like to come move some rocks, have a stacking party, with the least capable rigs. Goal is to finish exactly in the middle. That way its anyone's game.
Man 🧍♂️ wish I could pull the trigger on a 3d printer, but not in the cards atm. Will you add foams to the store at some point? Cool to see the Wraith out on the rocks. Party on 💥💯🤙🏻🍻
@@rc-daily It sure would be cool to be able to print files and also create stuff like these inserts for example. Personally I would rather buy once and cry once 😂
The guy that makes the SL3D squids told me they need to have about a 2mm gap between the top of the insert and the tire on the inside. Otherwise they try to fold on the inside of the tire and you end up with a lumpy hard spot where the insert will fold inside the tire.
I print my own inserts. That isn’t accurate in my experience. Mine have only buckled when I put them in tires that are a little too small. But having a little bit of a gap doesn’t seem to hinder performance.
@HollerRC This is my experience as well as the SL3D makers experience and recommendation from his experience. I put some made for proline bfg's into rc4wd tires, and they got pinched/folded inside the tire because they was to big for the rc4wd tires.
If you remove the outer wall, then slightly increase the percentage on the gyroid infill to compensate, the folding problem goes away. And you get the added benefit of venting in the tread so water can get out.
@@HollerRC I use Cura, but import the inner and outer as separate bodies. Then use the per body settings to set the wall count to 0 on the outer body. You loose a little stiffness, but with a gyroid infill, 0.3 line width, and 8% seems to work well on the cheap Amazon 87a tpu. It comes out like a soft, low density foam.
I like how yours turned out. I think mine are a little too stiff still for what I wanted to use them in. I’m trying to build a lightweight crawler (around 1.5 kg) and the foams I made were heavier than I wanted them to be. So I’ll probably try them out in a heavier rig like a trx6 or something.
Not trying to be that guy. But your not crawling on scale rocks though either. I haven't seen bouncers on rocks that like that. I know it's not a bouncer but... But it seems like your putting apples in a juicer and expecting orange juice. Just my opinion.

Have you ever tried " water " as weights in your tires ? Work really good for rock rawling !
Holmes inserts? Yes please. 😎
I love 3d printed inserts. Got a set of 3brc antifoams I run, and waiting on some yzzr inserts. Game changing when the weight and inserts are right.
John are these 3D inserts you designed? Are you going to sell the print files?

it sure as hell looks good on the rocks!!
thanks!
You need to print sbg matt for your scale driver😂
What filament is used to print these foams?
I use tpu

Killer wanna find some files somewhere
Mr Holmes, Professional Punkin Hanger.
Hahaha
Portals will definitely spoil you.
tell me about it!

I just seen a tiny 3d printer that's designed for kids. It would do stuff like this. I wonder how much it is

@@rc-dailymicro center puts ender 3s on sale for $99 all the time.
Bambu labs makes some solid printers at decent prices. They can get pricey though lol.
@@chrisgraff2103 do the printers come with the necessary software to design your own prints?

@@ShoddyRC what slicer do you use that allows removing the walls from only the outside of a print? Cura 5.6 only removes all walls.

Put the 86s from the front in the rear and see if they are firm enough. If they hold up then put the 84s on the front.
John are you going to start production and sale of
Tire foams?
still testing and testing
This is hilarious because I just got done trying to make some 3d printed foams myself😄
u like em?

Do you have the files I would love to try it.
still working on prototypes
84 front/86 rear and that thing will climb like a goat (oh wait, thats another Axial rig 😉)!
In on that 3d fad since the beginning...honestly, there is still a lot to be desired at designs for inserts😎
rite on, what would you do to improve on the idea?
@@HolmesHobbies I think experimenting with foamable TPU is one thing and in general maybe resin printers with the right resin could do much better.

I don't even use scale batteries
Dodging all the questions about anti-foam production and sales, I see 🥸
Working on perfecting them for now
