Great review! Thanks for taking the time to test our tire inserts and provide such a thorough explanation. We're thrilled to hear that you're happy with them and that they performed well in your tests. Your feedback means a lot to us!
One of the best foam tuning videos I’ve ever seen… and I’ve seen a LOT! The music around 8:00 is a bit much I’d rather hear you explain “Exocaged” style but
Thanks for the feedback! Music is always a hit-miss thing. Some folks like it, others hate it...sometimes I have to use it to cover up unwanted background noise.
The biggest drawback of 3d printed inserts - cold! I like the design of these, especially the flexibility to tune the outer ring with infill % and design of the insert. Will have to check them out.
I asked the folks at Revolt about it - they said this outer material plus one other was more temperature resistant, but I agree - that is just fundamentally part of it.
@V8chump If I'm running in snow, my tires/rims are not vented so, no moisture to freeze. They do get a bit stiff but no where near what happens to 3d inserts.
@jerryvolpini7987 your correct, my honeycomb design gets stiff in cold temps but my new style uses the gyroid infill and it stays soft in cold, the folks at revolt give you the option to use whatever infill you want on the outer section so gyroid would be a great choice there.
100%! Never assumed I would use one as much as I do. The ability to have an idea - model it - and print it all in the span of a few hours is really great.
Thanks for the prompt! I completely missed putting links to the TPU in the video description. Here: 85A TPU used: amzn.to/40j69eL 95A TPU used: amzn.to/3PBkcaR This file was not listed on their Cults page (at least the last time I looked). You can message them and they should make it available.
Nice video, I love using printed foams and have been making my own for years and used all kinds of infill types and found the best is gyroid, it gives plenty of support without the chunky un even flop going around, I do 8 percent on standard rigs and adjust from there, I use an old tite with the sidewall cut out in my videos to show how it flexes, good video man 👍
Thanks! I just commented on one of your videos. I tried to find the video where the sidewall was cut out - but can't find it. I have pondered doing something similar - but was unsure how I could keep the insert attached to wheel when doing it. How did you accomplish that?
@RoadsideRC ruclips.net/user/shortsdcTtigN-OBA?si=5voNA6fz6a6QAyaN here's one of my shorts, I have an older video with my original design honeycomb insert which I love and still have in my defender over 2 years later
I have been testing a new printer for a couple weeks now. This one: amzn.to/4gS4BQ7 I have been very happy with it. It is half the price, and 50% larger print bed than my older PRUSA printer. Just FYI. Video coming soon.
Hey ik it's off topic but I was watching some of your older videos and I really like tht blue tamiya rx7 body u got for your son but I was wondering are the holes pre drilled because I alr have stealth mounts
Another good option is cutting regular foams for the outside. You get the regularity and consistent grip of the foam and the side stability of the printer insert. My inner printed stage has a cupped design so it helps the foam stay in place. Guys like 2FMRC have made videos comparing printed vs ordinary dual stage foams and the difference seemed to be night and day so maybe my solution will get all the benefits with none of the drawbacks
Thanks! I tried cutting the outer ring of a foam off to do exactly as you suggest - but clearly my cutting wasn't good enough. It was VERY uneven and caused other issues. In theory, it is great - but I need to work on my cutting process.
I've been running revolt inserts for a while and love them, You should print the outer ring with no top or bottom layers, and 3-5% infill, gyroid infill pattern, that makes the softness liner no matter what part of the insert is taking the load I also print the outer ring with 82a tpu, inner ring with 95a tpu
I think you’ll get a better bang for the buck with the d440 inserts on cults. You buy a package of files for @ $20 to fit multiple diameters and then scale the z to fit the tire width.
It’s true that scaling the width of inserts can be done fairly quickly, including with our inserts. But what about the height? If you make it larger it won’t fit the inner ring properly anymore. The only option then would be to also enlarge the inner ring, but that would cause it not to fit the rim, making the suggestion impractical. Our inserts are tailor-fit to specific tires. We purchase the tires ourselves, carefully measure them, and create a design that fits perfectly. With our range, we’ve got you covered for most tires, and there’s no need to compromise on fit or performance. Keep on crawling 🤞
I have printed some 5% and 6% since this video. Think I am going to go 6% on the front and 4% on the rear. That is what is so cool about these - infinite tuning!
Yes! That is what I did later. It still forced a bottom layer for adhesion, but could remove the top layer. But tuning the layer thickness helped a lot. Thanks!
I really do like the Injora inserts - but they were just too small overall for these tires. Both in width and height. Allowed the tire to move around too much. These inserts 100% work better than the Injora inserts.

It is a really awesome design! Great work!
@@KennethBrems which inserts are these on your cults page?
Thanks for giving our insert a chance sir !
Thank you for making something awesome!
Awesome looking inserts. Nice 👍🏾💯🔥
Thanks!

Music is always a hit-miss thing.

On our VRDs we’re running the outer Ring with 3-3,5% in the front, and 4-4.5% in the rear
Great - thanks for the feedback!

Then again if you have normal foams in the snow they’re gonna get frozen as well
@V8chump If I'm running in snow, my tires/rims are not vented so, no moisture to freeze. They do get a bit stiff but no where near what happens to 3d inserts.
Use esun 87A for the outer ring, cold doesn't do anything to this filament, it stays flexibele 😉

looks a good tyre upgrade idea mate
thumbs up👍Au💯full view always
Thanks 👍
The deeper i get into this hobby, the more i realise that a 3D printer is going to make its way into my home at some point.
100%!
Never assumed I would use one as much as I do.

@RoadsideRC yea, for now i use a service where I upload my files and they print it for me but that gets costly pretty quick
Do you have a link to the tpu used and which of the revolt sets did u pick
Thanks for the prompt! I completely missed putting links to the TPU in the video description.

@missourircadventures1730 Aaahhh. You cut windows out, that is how the beadlock still works. Smart!
It looks like I need to get a 3d printer those inserts looks amazing
I have been testing a new printer for a couple weeks now.
This one: amzn.to/4gS4BQ7
I have been very happy with it.
It is half the price, and 50% larger print bed than my older PRUSA printer.

The inset thing is crazy awesome. How fast they got popular and how the designs/tuning seems almost limitless.
Agree 100%!
Hey ik it's off topic but I was watching some of your older videos and I really like tht blue tamiya rx7 body u got for your son but I was wondering are the holes pre drilled because I alr have stealth mounts
No pre-drilled holes! You are good to go.
@RoadsideRC thank God only reason I was thinking about getting somthing different. Thanks again man
Cool 🤘y'all have a badass day🤘🍻🤘

When would we get a drift related video again? Im excited on what's cooking 💯
Stuff is in the works!

I think four and 8% is pretty close tight race
I have printed some 5% and 6% since this video.
Think I am going to go 6% on the front and 4% on the rear.
That is what is so cool about these - infinite tuning!
@ do you sell them to individuals or just make them for yourself?
3-6% gyroid infill, no top or bottom layers
You could just print the outer ring with no top or bottom layers, that way you don't have to cut them afterwards.
Yes! That is what I did later.
It still forced a bottom layer for adhesion, but could remove the top layer. But tuning the layer thickness helped a lot.
Thanks!
The Injoras looked best IMO… and they are just so cheap, they are hard to beat.
I really do like the Injora inserts - but they were just too small overall for these tires. Both in width and height. Allowed the tire to move around too much.
These inserts 100% work better than the Injora inserts.
@@RoadsideRC yeah, regarding the size of the Injora inserts I do agree. Wish they would make some larger ones.
