I’m OBSESSED with Geoform Belted Wheels on My Traxxas Sledge! 🚀
Welcome back to another ChriswithaC episode! If you know me, you know I’m a huge fan of Method RC’s wheel and tire combos for my bashing trucks. This time, Method RC was kind enough to send me their brand new Geoform Wheel and Tire Combo for my Traxxas Sledge build - and let me tell you, I’m not disappointed. Not one bit!
In the past, I really liked the Terraform wheels, but they struggled with wet weather and grass - and let's be real, here in the UK we’ve got plenty of both! 🌧️🌱 But in this video, I’ll take you through everything you need to know about the Geoform wheels:
How they look on the Sledge 💥
Weight comparison with stock wheels ⚖️
My initial thoughts on their performance 🔧
Key things I’ve noticed to keep an eye on 👀
Massive thanks to the awesome team at Method RC for sending these over for me to test out! Stay tuned for the next video, where I’ll give you my full breakdown on how these wheels perform when running. Let’s see if they live up to the hype!

[@ChriswithaCrc]

You and me both! Man this weather has been relentless lately ! Yeah looking tip top hey Should rip well Hope your good my friend Stay awesome Chris 🤙🚀👍🤘

[@Lefteye516]

You have given me the push to upgrade my broken Sledge…I haven’t touched it in several months because it was replaced with an EXB. GREAT VIDEOS!

[@ChriswithaCrc]

Wow thanks so much buddy , yeah get that sledge upgraded dude , the EXB is awesome but just wasn’t for me that’s all . I’m happy with this truck so worth the effort for sure 👌 Stay awesome buddy Chris 🤙🚀👍🤘

[@stevenr5087]

Nice Tires 🤩

[@ChriswithaCrc]

Thank you buddy , there weighty but sure do provide stability and tons of grip 🤙🚀🤘👍

[@colinmorand129]

Max 6 esc next up 👍

[@ChriswithaCrc]

Maybe buddy not sure which way to go yet ! All depends on the stock electrics holding up 🤙

[@NatesRCclips]

Thank you🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@ChriswithaCrc]

You are so welcome 🤙

I think those look awesome on that Sledge Chris!! I’m wondering about all that extra weight though… I guess we’ll see. Great idea with the M2C wheel hex’s!! I put a set of Dumont 3.8 inch paddle tires on my Notorious and took it to the beach… motor temps were through the roof 🔥 hot!! I put some pro-line more the correct size and weight on the truck and I could rip a lot longer on the sand before needing to give it a rest to cool down. So I am interested to see what happens with your new tires

[@ChriswithaCrc]

Thanks! I’m really excited about how they look on the Sledge! 😄 You raise a good point about the extra weight-I guess we’ll find out how it affects performance! Those Dumont paddle tires sound like a blast at the beach, but I can imagine the motor temps spiking with the extra weight. Glad to hear switching to Pro-Line tires helped you keep things cooler and extend your run time! I’ll definitely keep an eye on my temps with the new tires, too. Can’t wait to see how they perform-I'll keep you posted! 🏖️🔥

[@shawnscott9704]

Point you’re at Chris may as well throw a Hobbywing max 6g2 in her now. 👍

[@ChriswithaCrc]

I might upgrade them in the future bud for now leave as is till the electric’s give out . Looking good though hey Stay awesome bud Chris 🤙🚀👍🤘

[@shawnscott9704]

@@ChriswithaCrc ya looking awesome man!

[@RcSpeedFreak-kk8wj]

Badass looking tire. Get some hex extenders like some m2c 6.5mm hex’s and it would look even better!

[@RcSpeedFreak-kk8wj]

Lol I should have watched the whole vid before commenting

[@ChriswithaCrc]

Ha ha yep 😂all good though buddy made me chuckle lol 😂

[@Doug_Morgan]

Chris out of curiosity I went and grabbed one of my belted Sledgehammer tires that came on my new Sledge. It weighed in at 418g. I only weighed one but I know from weighing my other tires they can vary quite a bit. The belted Sledgehammers I have for my Xmaxx vary by about 20g or so. The Method being roughly 80g more than my stock belted tires is not that much more it they perform better. I definitely like the looks of them an will probably get some in the future, probably the bigger ones for my 8S Kraton first or even for my 6S Kraton as it is a handful at speed the way the tires on it balloon. It is all I can do to control it over 65 mph.

[@ChriswithaCrc]

Thanks for checking that out! 418g for the Sledgehammer tires is a solid baseline, and I appreciate you sharing that info! It’s interesting how much tire weight can vary-even a little can make a difference in performance. If the Method tires only add about 80g, that’s not too bad at all, especially if they handle better! I get the ballooning struggle with the 6S Kraton-it’s like trying to ride a wild horse at that speed! 😂 The bigger Method tires could definitely help with control. Let me know if you decide to grab a set; I’d love to hear how they perform on your Kraton!

[@Doug_Morgan]

@@ChriswithaCrc I will see what happens Chris. Right now I am toying with the idea of getting a set of belted Sledgehammers and fitting them on to the Kraton. It will widen it due to the offset and I will have to modify the Traxxas hubs to do it. So far I am impressed with the belted Sledgehammers.

[@JPBashed]

There are 454 grams in a pound my friend. I know this because i used to work on a deli counter 30 years ago. 28g in an ounce. However these weights vary across the sea, i think the Yanks say 30 odd grams per ounce!!! Anyway enough talk on grams and ounces 😂

[@JPBashed]

Hey Chris are you confident those hub extenders aren’t going to make the plastic hubs more prone to break?

[@ChriswithaCrc]

not sure buddy buy there is only one way to find out hey !

[@mathias4891]

Good gravy of mercy! A pound a corner! Please save your rig from tearing itself apart . Balance those things!😂 I don't care what the manufacturer says I test and rebalance all new tires .

[@ChriswithaCrc]

Will do buddy , thanks for the tip dude Chris :)

[@Landryqueen15]

When did you buy these

[@ChriswithaCrc]

Hey buddy they were sent for the purpose of the videos from Method RC .
