    Fascinating comparison, recently picked up some fossils on the back of your review. I’ve got a Sendero SE which is setup similar to baseline, I now want a set of S1 canyon trails as I prefer the slightly smaller size and they look to perform really well!

      @CrawlerCanyon  Год назад +1

      I just measured the worn in Canyon Trails that are Baseline's everyday tire, and they've "relaxed" down to 4.5" tall. I'm not ashamed to say that my favorite overall tire is the Canyon Trail. They're impossibly good for how cheap they are.

      You'd be hard-pressed to find a tire that cannot competently trail. That said, "Big lugs, lots of space" are the recommended-- Deep Woods (Champs,) Canyon Trails, Swampers, etc.

    I've tried adding rear weight and it always seems to hurt climbing.

    • @V8chump
      @V8chump Год назад

      I think generally speaking getting to 60-40% weight front to back and keep it as light as possible… remove all unnecessary weight and add as little to the front tires/portals as possible to hit 60-40

    • @CrawlerCanyon
      @CrawlerCanyon  Год назад

      I don't think total vehicle weight matters much at all (I mean, within reason) and the F/R split isn't as important as people make it out to be. There are rigs that hit 60/40 stock out of the box and still climb like crap. I contend that the percentage of unsprung to sprung is the most important number.

    • @CrawlerCanyon
      @CrawlerCanyon  Год назад +1

      I'm gonna guess that the neutral range on the transmitter is something that the ESC doesn't like-- are you using an "older" radio?
      It's a quick test, at any rate: just keep dialing throttle trim up until something happens. I'm still using a Sanwa MX-3X with Daphne, and have to have the throttle trim at +90 for the ESC to "see" it. That's my early morning guess.

    Just a thought, but if you're going to create a light weight rig, then you need something beside double stiff hair buns for your tires. I understand being cheap, but you're sacrificing traction for climbing for the occasional stability while side-hilling. It is not a good tire test unless the inserts are of a comp testing quality. Yes? Double Hairbuns may be cheap, but they offer very little in the flex department for a light rig while climbing. It would be a great comparison test between the two tires with some soft 3D printed inserts! I love watching your daily installments!

    • @brianmassey7563
      @brianmassey7563 Год назад +1

      he has some AntiFoams that should be soft enough to test that.... I agree though, soft printed insert on a light rig is great for forward drive.

      @rccrawlingaddict207 Год назад

      @@brianmassey7563 Maybe some mediums for the canyon crawlers and soft for the fossils. I got a set of the fossils and the compound is a little more firm. Hairbuns may be good in a pinch but for the canyon viewers that like the test's.......C'mon!

    • @CrawlerCanyon
      @CrawlerCanyon  Год назад +2

      This guy weighs 6.4lbs. There are no lightweight rigs in the Canyon fleet. Also, the performance of a properly fitting 3D-printed insert is about 10% better than a double bun-- and I'd qualify that with an "if even that." While I think that 3D inserts are quite likely the future, they're still too expensive, stunningly lacking in versatility (we used to have to pick the density of a foam based on rig weight, now a 3D insert only fits a few or even just one tire) and did I mention too expensive? The printed insert is power creep brought into a market segment. Most people simply do not need them.
      I've tested Tusks side-by-side, one set with Squidn'serts and the other with double buns, and it was close. I'd put Baseline's Canyon Trail setup up against 4.65" tire, without caring what's inside it. I've said before, if a person owns ONE rig, sure, might as well go for the nuclear option and put some Squidn'serts on it. I have 114 tires . As a typical printed insert is 13-15 bucks a pop...😳

    • @brianmassey7563
      @brianmassey7563 Год назад

      @@CrawlerCanyon I do agree, but since I've started printing my own I don't fall in to that "density isn't correct for rig" issue as I'd just adjust the print to match the rig. I don't have double buns to test against, but all the comp guys around here have slowly switched to soft printed inserts, including me. I do have some large and small buns, and some TinTin dual stage so I think I can make the "double bun"...???

    • @rccrawlingaddict207
      @rccrawlingaddict207 Год назад

      @@CrawlerCanyon I understand the cost factor, as I already stated in my comment. There are size and compound options for the various inserts. Your double buns offer very little flex while climbing. Most of the time your rear tires never squat at all. You do an average of 11 hill climbs and one side hill??? The double buns don't flex while going up or going across. Maybe you could save some more money by going to a single hair bun and give the other to a friend. I will never claim to be an expert crawler by any circumstances. But what I am good at is learning. The tires that get the best traction are typically the tires with the softest foam or inserts. Just say'n......thanks for understanding.

      I would say every one of them has a strip of Gorilla Tape across the back of the cab, about 3/4" below the window-- because that's where my body mounts come through, and the Creep(er) isn't super thick in that area. Otherwise, they hold up pretty great. Especially for 25 bucks.

    • @CrawlerCanyon
      @CrawlerCanyon  Год назад +2

      On a metal beadlock, the difference is huge. Most every plastic wheel I've seen has had vent holes in it, so the foam is doing it's job properly.
      I vent every tire through the carcass, because stuff is going to get in there no matter what-- whether it's dirt, sand, water, or whatever else, it will find it's way in. With holes though the tread, that stuff can find it's way back out.

I also like the Tusks but they are hard to find some times.
      Proline would have some decent bodies if they would use a Polycarbonate like JConcepts. There shocks are decent but WAAAAAY overpriced.

    I would like to know what are the best (various mm) 1/10 shocks on Amazon. I've bought 2 sets already. Both garbage. There has to be one that you recommend.

    • @CrawlerCanyon
      @CrawlerCanyon  Год назад

      The only sorta okay Amazon shock I've found to date are these: amzn.to/3OQXtZ2 because they seem to be an absolute copy of the same damper from RC4WD. Like... identical. Yeah, you gotta fill 'em with diff fluid, but they do work. They come in a bunch of different lengths, and most importantly, they're cheap.
      I think the Traxxas GTS (TRX-4 stock shock) is one of the absolute best for the money, about $40 a set from Jenny's RC-- the sole drawback being that they only come in 90mm. The Long Arm are the same thing but 110s, meaning limited utility, and they're harder to find cheap.
      Then you've got the Traxxas Big Bore, which is a superb shock, and why it's largely unchanged for 15 years. Multiple lengths (roughly 80-90-100) and can be run with "conventional" full-size springs or mini springs (Losi Mini-T, Dravtech, Enduro SE) for all the spring tuning options you could want. I'm running several sets of the TRA2660s, which are the "long" version, roughly 90mm long.
