1/10 Scale Element Ecto | Ep. 5 - Comparing Proline Trenchers vs. Stock Grabber Tires!

[@hossrc420]

I think the main improvement there are ethe trenchers, I think their great tyres. I've ordered my ecto and should have it by November, we had to preorder it and wait.

The plastic beadlock wheels are not bad. But the Trenchers and dual stage foams will make a huge difference especially once they have broken in. As I mentioned, it seems to take about 4 battery packs before they get broken in.

Going for these trenchers for my LCG project. No doubt. Thanks a lot for the review!

[@BigSungHobbies]

You are welcome.

The proline look more sticky that the stock. Very great product👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@BigSungHobbies]

It's much softer compound and definitely seems to have better traction.

Looks like the same rocks that the RC Review channel do their tests on

[@BigSungHobbies]

Yes, it is. We live fairly close to each other.

Isn’t that the same wheels and tires that Exo bought for his Ecto...

[@BigSungHobbies]

Yes, they are very similar. I believe he got the G8 compound and I have the Predator compound. The wheel design also looks slightly different. Funny thing is that I had the wheels and tires ordered at the same time I picked up Ecto, but I had to wait to mount it and get tested.

Must be a location thing. My hyraxs do horrible here in ohio. Those general grabber tires are horrible on my sendero hd. I find the stock traxxas canyon tires out perform them all. Great vid. Btw. Why are those grabbers not modified like you keep talking about? Cutting out every other tread.

[@BigSungHobbies]

One thing about tires, location makes a huge difference. One tire that does well at one location, might not do well on another. So I recommend trying out a few till you find what works for you. That being said, in general, there are few tires that seem to outperform others. I have found that Trenchers work much better than Hyrax which used to be one of my go to tires. As for modifying the Grabber tires, I have done that on my previous rigs...I have several videos with those being used, but since I am going to be using the Trenchers on Ecto, I have not modified it. I already spent the money on new wheelset.
