Thanks for testing them out! I definitely think running them in the front only would be a huge improvement! Also, when you put the ring in, make sure you pull any of the Grippie from under the ring as well that might have been pinched when sliding it in the tire!
Would mod'ing the inside hole edges of the Grippie help keep it clear of the bread lock? Maybe trim a little 45 deg chamfer so the edge can't get caught? Maybe something, if works, that could be made by mod'ing the mould. So do they smell fruity? LOL!
The problem I see is that there is no compression. Only deformation. But if it's packed into a tire, there's nowhere for it to deform too. I think this would work extremely well as the inner ring of a dual stage foam. You get the weight, stability, and the compression of an outer foam layer.
Thanks bro. Next time you go out crawling near Saratoga/Eagle Mtn area. I'll go crawling with you.I Still have to install the Spectrum Brushless motor with the Furitek Lizard Pro ESC combo and test it in my GX470. Hopefully, I'll see you around at the next Micro Crawler Club event.
I know the feeling. I just spent $150 on a scale transmission. Did I need it? No. Is it something I wanted for my build? Yes. If these give people what they want for their build, and there are no other alternatives, they'll pay the money.

@@raddaddy I’m going to mess with them more on this rig. I’m going to run them just in the front to see how that works out.
@ I think that’s the ticket!

@ Some folks have modded them with great success! If you’re using them in the exact intended scenario, should be ideal. If not, might need to mod!
Course looks good!
@@AKlivn thank you!

They remind me of peache rings from the gas station snack isle.... I wonder what scale those would fit🤔
@@YNOTRC lmao!
You need a fabrat sticker on the side of that rig. That would complete it
@@MrBulldog917 now I gotta order some!
I need that FJ body...
@@AdventureOutintheWildreness WT Micro is where I got it.

@ absolutely!
Do they make that body for a TRX4M?
@@whatfreedom7 I’m not sure, I’d have to look at WT Micro’s Etsy.
👀
Those look like they plump your tires out way too much. Maybe need a smaller size?
@@Thegreatpnw_rc I think the same, I think the next size down would be too small 🤷🏻♂️
Im working on a new version for those who prefer a less plump tire!
@@raddaddy I’ll keep my eye out for those.
Couldn't you trim them down with Scissors ? That's what I do with inserts
@@jimbo4203 I'd be curious how that'd work. Pretty gooshy material to cut with anything. Maybe a hot wire? Grandpa's electric carving knife?
Just trying to justify the price…
@@High_strung_rc I know 😔
