Hey thanks for sharing this. I went for the yeah racing brass set for my trx4. Couldn’t find samix part available near me. I wasn’t sure about the tires size that I should try but seeing the 4.5 on your blazer it’s good looking and I guess doesn’t rub the body or fender at extrem flex. Did you see any changes in crawling with reduced tires compared to stock ? Only used 4.75 tires so far.
Cheers.

I did loose a slight bit of ground clearance but can’t say I noticed any real difference in how it performs with the smaller tire. The difference in body rub is huge though and worth the trade off for me.

What wheels are those?

[@mikestinytruckshop]

They are SSD 1.9” D-hole steel bead locks with 4.45” Pit Bull Rock Beast tires.

Thanks man! They looks really good on it. I’m going to order up the same wheel/ tire set up for my trx4

@@ricerocket336 thanks. The stock 4.75 tires were a little too big and tear up the body. The smaller 4.45s fit better and look more proportionally accurate to me.

@@mikestinytruckshop I was looking to get the BFG crawler 1.9. Do you think they will be too big?

[@mikestinytruckshop]

@@ricerocket336 unless you get the class 1 version which is 4.19”, then yes. The regular Krawler is 4.75” so they are the same size as the stock canyon trail. But that is based on the assumption that you have the Blazer. If you have a different body, they may work better.
