1.0 Tire Comparison - Testing the BIGGEST tires for the SCX24

In this follow up video to our earlier tire comparison I test four more BIG 1.0 tires for the SCX24. The lineup includes the Little Guy Racing Parts Swamp Kings, Power Hobby Mud Boss, RC4WD Mud Slingers, and the Injora Competition Pins. I go over the specs, provide a visual comparison, and put these tires through their paces in a variety of terrains. Watch to see who comes out on top!

[@GeezerGramps]

I noticed that with both the Comp Pins & Mud Boss the body leaned to the right real hard doing the incline. Your tire comparisons are the best I’ve seen, I would say you made the playing field as level as possible. Testing in 2 totally different environments was a good choice too. On your backyard course I couldn’t pick a true winner but it appeared the Comp Pins had the most issues.

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thanks! I wanted a wide range of scenarios to look at this time around. With the JLU leaning, it was just about to give up the ghost on those inclines but held on! Which is funny because the mud bosses were not the tallest, but for some reason it wanted to roll. I was really surprised with the pins on the backyard course. It was a little damp so maybe that impacted their performance? Either way they have performed better in the past but got stage fright this time around.

[@gibsonlife573]

I believe that would because they was hooking up order are they was rolling under

[@MRanger04]

Good stuff. My favorite tall tire I run on my scx24 is the injora mud terrain crawler tires.

[@CapeCrawlers]

Those are great tires!

[@bryantjulien788]

First video of yours I've had the pleasure of viewing, awesome content! Was looking at options for my scx24 and received more than I could ever ask for.

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thanks for watching! I appreciate that!

[@TrevorParkJones]

Nice job Adam, another great video! I have the Mud Boss myself and I like them quite a bit. They seem to perform well, and they look good doing it! I've got some LGRP Grippers coming in the mail, I'm looking forward to those! Thanks again Adam, take care!!!

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thank you! Mud bosses are great and I think you’ll love the grippers!

[@andrewrichey7374]

Yeah they did great the swamp kings, might be checking it set out. Appreciate you sharing yes it was super cool

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thanks for watching! The swamp kings are great, very impressive

[@abudhabikid]

omg your little dude is so lucky! i've had my eye on that jimny since before I learned about the scx24. Do want. This video was super informative and very well done. As always :P

[@CapeCrawlers]

He is a lucky guy! He loves the jimmy, even parks it under his bed at night like a little garage 😂

[@evans1756]

This was a very well done video. Thank you... The Mud Slingers are my fav.

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thanks for watching! The mud slingers are great. I have since trimmed off the smaller lugs for a more aggressive tread pattern and they look/perform even better!

[@laytonmask2175]

I had bought the c10 and the boggers with it and they did amazing, after watching @CineMoto talk about not running foams, and after I took out the foams I noticed amazing differences and overall better performance, I truly highly recommend running your tires without foam

[@CapeCrawlers]

I like the no foam approach on smaller tires. I find the lack of sidewall support troublesome on the big tires.

[@jameswisecarver]

Thanks for the vid man!!! Good stuff!!

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thanks for watching!

[@6161jonny]

Nice hydra blue gladiator (1:1 scale 😁). We have one too

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thanks! It's because of my big Gladiator that I got into these little crawlers. I bought the blue gladiator scx24 just as a novelty item! Then I became obsessed!

[@alankowalski8781]

That’s pretty wild. I have a TRX4 and SCX10iii that are both heavily modded that can’t do most of the stuff you did with that little thing. 👍

[@hbrc3867]

One of the best tire comparisons I've seen ! I'd love to see another one when you get the trail warriors and use flubber stuffers 👍🏻

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thank you! I've got Slymeballz coming for the big tires as we speak. I am excited to try them out.

[@austinstahl6428]

[@CapeCrawlers]

[@carlreeves9762]

I love your testing it's the most scientific that I have seen

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thanks! I work in the scientific research field so I bring that mindset to my testing just out of habit!

[@colbyhann1808]

i have no experience with these tires but i love the look of the Comp tires theres just somthing Nostalgic about the look of them im 31 but when i was a kid big fluffy looking tires was just the coolest thing

[@CapeCrawlers]

They are such a unique tire! The huge sidewalls have an 80's monster truck feel to them.

[@scottbraithwaite3143]

Great review as always. All the current best tires are all on the bigger side. I think this will drive chassis/body design...not everyone wants to chop up body's to accommodate them. P.s cutting slingers seems to help in sandy conditions...

[@CapeCrawlers]

I agree. I would love to see some scale bodies already prepped for big tires. Good call on the Slingers. I have seen folks do this and it looks very effective.

[@goodolbronco]

Nice work!

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thank you and thanks for watching!

[@chris_wrx]

Love the videos!!

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thanks for watching!

[@GrimJerr]

Just got my 2nd set of the Mud Terrain Kryptonite knock off from Injora, love these tires, running them with a 1/3 reduced foam for extra grip without giving up too much sidewall support. The Proline Hyrax has been the best performance Tire I have used out of 8 different tires. The only thing I hate giving up with the Hyrax is that bigger tire.

[@CapeCrawlers]

I love the hyrax! I wish it were bigger then I would run them on everything! Did you see Proline is releasing another tire for the 1/24? The trencher.

[@GrimJerr]

@@CapeCrawlers Nice I am running the 4.75" trencher on my VS4-10 Pro Great tire !

[@gregellingson7584]

I’m loving the Swamp Kings, really like on your gladiator how your tires can flex above the truck bed need to get mine wider now

[@CapeCrawlers]

The swamp kings are still my favorite

[@gregellingson7584]

I noticed from all your videos and the cape 10 helps the price a bit glad you make great videos so I don’t buy a bunch of stuff I won’t use.

[@ka4172]

Would be intresting test some tires on wet rocks. My favorite spots are river rocks and even with algae on the rocks there so slippery only a few tires gripp well on this extreme slippery ground.My favorite tires are Mud Slinger and Injora Rock Terrain with the super grippy S5 compound. I try also the Littel Guy Swamp King but they cant come close too the Mud Slinger and the Injoras.I have watched hundreds of RC tire tests but no one test tires on wet rocks the most difficult surface for a tire .

[@deanweller5789]

Adam, great video as usual! Man you are leading the way for these scx24 Rc's I can't believe how good your content is, thanks for all the extremely useful tips. Just a quick question if you have the time...I just got into these with my son and daughter, we just love building corses and seeing what these mini rock crawlers can do, we are at the point of starting to get into upgrades, do you happen to know what hobby shop has the best prices? Im asking because i'll be upgrading 3 scx24's at the same time to keep things fair between us lol...Thanks for all the great content!

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thanks Dean, I appreciate that! I really like Amain hobbies. They have really competitive prices and super fast shipping. I get a lot of items on Amazon too, especially Injora or treal items. Injora makes a great line of inexpensive, quality parts.

[@farmboyrc]

I got the hyraxs ordered for the c10!! and now imma try the 66t injora motor and when I get that I'm going to give my little brothers jeep a try with injoras rock terrain tires and ill hopefully have a video out on all of those!!

[@CapeCrawlers]

Sounds awesome! The hyraxes are soooo good.

[@farmboyrc]

@@CapeCrawlers im excited for them

[@rjwerntzphotography]

I have watched multiple videos about your SCX24 Gladiator and the wheels/tires you have on them. In one video, you mentioned having the hubs "reversed" to get a deep set back in the wheel itself. What wheels are you doing that with? That has the Swamp King tires on them. I did see where Injora offers and "offset" wheel. Is that the same thing? They do have a red version btw. How are you wheels attached to the portal axles you use? I thought you show the axle length is long and that longer extension could be used. Can you stack hex extenders and wheel weights? Thanks, great content to learn from.

[@CapeCrawlers]

Injora has discontinued their previous model wheels, but this is very similar: amzn.to/3VCbpYu On the portals I am stacking treal +5mm hex extensions. I find the axle stubs are very long on the portals and I used the hex extensions not primarily to add weight or width, but to eat up that axle stub.

[@ArmynOverlord]

If you get a chance you should compare the swamp kings vs injora rock terrain 64mm and injora all terrain 62mm tires. Great video by the way 👍

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thank you! I am overdue for another tire video. I'm brainstorming some now.

[@RCCrawlerz209]

I can't help but laugh, not at you, but me, because I bought tall tires & won't work with my 24 Gladiator cuz they just rub up against the body, which I don't want to trim. Lol Go figure. 🤦🏼‍♂️😅 Mad props to you dude, for that mad flex on your 24s & the tires you use! 👏🏻👏🏻 Planning on going full Treal on my 24 Gladiator. Just used mine this past Saturday & was trying to make a line on the rocks & I kept falling, & pretty hard too, I'm lucky I didn't break anything.....😳😖 Once I get & install Treal parts on my rig, hopefully will make a certain line, I couldn't before. As far as tires go, I use the RC4WD (arrowed) scale tires on on my Jeep, they do me ok, at best! 🤪

[@CapeCrawlers]

I did the same thing early on with the rc4wd scramblers. I bought them and they rubbed like crazy. As my builds evolved I had to sacrifice the fenders, then it was good. What did you get for treal upgrades? Their stuff is great and should make a huge difference.

[@RCCrawlerz209]

@@CapeCrawlers nothing...yet, I ordered a new Treal front bumper to replace the injora front bumper, sticks out too much, do plan to get more treal stuff for it though.

[@kanmankan2974]

Nice test all around. Imho bigger tires take away from the challenge. Plus they can look, um not scale, lol. My little guy has the mud swampers, he just bounces over everything. I run the RC4WD rock creepers. Everything I put them they excel. One small suggestion if I may. Love the test lines, maybe put some markers or cones to force the same line. The smallest change can make it or break it. Maybe try smaller tires on portals? That's where I'm heading. I think. Good stuff

[@CapeCrawlers]

Good points all around! I especially like the idea of markers to make for objective testing. The big tires are like a cheat code!

[@angelpiste805hotwheels2]

What about the little tires? Lol. I mean I run big tires don’t get me wrong but some smaller ones are also killr too especially with some flubberstufferz

[@CapeCrawlers]

I do need to do a scale tire comparison. The problem I run into is that there are so many good ones! I may have to do a social media poll to get a good selection of scale tires for that project

Hey Adam! Should I get the trail kings or swamp kings from little guy

[@CapeCrawlers]

I personally think the swamp kings perform better. Trail kings seem softer but are less aggressive.

[@travis3567]

Any chance you’ll do a small tire comparison? I don’t want to hack my bronco all up 😔 I am torn between the 54x19 ogrc crawlers and the hyrax. The pins looked awesome in your video but I’m not crazy about how wide they are.

[@CapeCrawlers]

I should! I’m working on a review of the new trencher 1.0 tires which are a good sized tire, similar to stock. The hyrax is amazing!

[@nbkxcustom4721]

What kind of wheels are you running for the swamp kings

Go lgrp.. good episode.

[@navb3425]

Why does my crawler have so much body roll when I added wheel waits, can someone plz help me

[@CapeCrawlers]

What tire/wheel setup are you running? If you don't have adequate sidewall strength the additional weight could cause the body roll.

[@sc4rles]

What are the white rims, and where are they from? Thanks

Rims are RC4WD stamped steelies.
