the Zoidberg is good - losing the wheel weight makes the front brass more efective relative to the new weight - i think it is what contributes to the better control and overall better planted rig
Same-- but alas, I've not been able to determine such a thing exists. It might be because the clearances for c-hubs/knuckles would be too tight. Because of the connecting bits, the space inside the wheel is actually fairly small. It's like a 2.2 on the outside and a 1.9 on the inside.
Been running these on my 2.2 rigs over a year. I have two sets and they've seen many a hard mile. They are solid rims for the money and mount well across the board. Hardware will rust, my only gripe. Side note: Z could use a face lift. But how much could you share off the top? My 4s carbon chassis 4ws Capra build is 8lbs rtr. Been thinking about a revamp myself...
I think Zoidberg is at or under 8lbs, actually. Even at the size of the BAJR body, it's lighter than most "fullsize" crawler bodies. I do have a replacement plastic front axle to replace the pot-metal one that's on there now, but it hasn't given me any issues so I haven't been motivated to swap it out. When I look at the rig, I can't see changing anything other than maybe links, to stretch the wheelbase out even further. I could tidy up the wiring a bit, but hey-- everything works.
It does look like it rounded the profile a little, but it made the Ruptures better if anything. The inner ring is a bit over half the width of the "wide" 2.2 rings. So I don't know if it was one thing or a combination of things that combined to increase performance. I just know it's better.
All over the Amazon, just usually not listed/named in any way that would be helpful, so they can be hard to find. I think these are 10-23: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08GM61JXK And these are 6-22: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09MS2XHT1 I just go with whoever is cheapest at the time.
There are some advanced-Chinesium 1.9s on Amazon, that feature the lock ring and both faces... solid brass. They're something like 250g per wheel-- so with tire and foam, easily 350-400g per corner. Too much of a good thing? Whoa baby.
You end up having to run the biggest hubs you can find-- 22 or 23mm. That's not a huge problem, IMO. These are (I think) intended to be run on really wide axles, like AR60s and RB14s, so taking off some width is often an advantage in those instances. The weakness if the cheap carbon is this particular style, with all the tiny spokes. It's fairly easy to crack/break those spokes in a good tumble, and then the wheel is forever wobbly. The other styles (like with the holes) are more robust. If you're gonna do carbon., go with the wheel that is the most carbon and the least open space-- the split six style, not the 12-spoke, etc. The regular 6-spoke and the one with the holes are both good.
A qualified... maybe. The compound of the RTR Swampers is downright hard compared to any "crawling" compound-- JConcepts green feels like taffy compared to whatever the Swampers are made out of. I don't think I would try it myself, as the design of the wheel seems like one that is best used when going slowly. I feel like if I put some real speed and power through them, they might show the weakness of something so light.

Zoidberg is my favourite of all your rigs, just like a cat on carpet.
Personally. This is my favorite tire wheel combo / review / you’ve shown as of yet. Zoidberg is an entirely new beast!

man id love to find some similar wheels but in 1.9!

What foams are you running in those and what is the total weight of that rig? Great video, I’m a new subscriber. Keep it up!!
Stock JConcepts mediums. Zoidberg is really light for his size, he’s around 7lbs.
@@CrawlerCanyon Thank you
Great review! Did the tire profile change? It looks a little more rounded off than on the old wheels.
Also, congrats on hitting 2k subs!

Very well done sir. Where are you getting your hex hubs? I've tried looking on Amazon and cannot find 6 lug versions.

I think these are 10-23: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08GM61JXK
And these are 6-22: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09MS2XHT1
I just go with whoever is cheapest at the time.
VERY COOL EXPERIMENT I LIKE IT TY.
I enjoy watching you do dumb stuff.
I try to keep rotating mass low - not that sub 4" tires are heavy.

Dude , you package your words more precisely then DENZEL😝‼️
Gr8 video Gr8 intel you just help me decide
I have tried these! They make my rig so narrow. I guess it’s a bad thing?

@@CrawlerCanyon Capra axles will also do the work, right?
@@Bradon881 I have these wheels on a set of Capra axles, and if the memory serves, 18mm hubs.
I have those on my bomber i couldn't get them to fit in the tires that came with the rift. Think i can get them to fit if i try again?
