Budget Crawler Tire Tips

[@jackawaki]

Man that’s crazy I swear by my ruptures but I do have exocadged inserts for the j concepts. Man really blows my mind

[@RcDungeon]

I'm pretty confident these are real Ruptures bro, but honest to goodness I've ran them in every configuration and they were terrible lol!

[@DaddyDaughterRC-sw2zb]

Any hack is worth a shot on the RTR tyres as we all have a bunch sitting around doing nothing. Great vid 👍👍👍.

[@RcDungeon]

@@DaddyDaughterRC-sw2zb Thanks I agree as well

[@toeshifter]

Thanks for the video. I personally like the Canyon Trails. They work well for me in my area. Im just a trail guy though so that is probably part of it. Im gonna try your WD-40 method on a set I have laying around and see what I think. Keep it up man, sharing information based on real experience is great for people trying to learn. Those of us out in the woods actually running these trucks are the voices that should matter. Take care.

[@RcDungeon]

@@toeshifter Thank you Toeshifter, yes I like Canyon trails as well they are probably IMO one of the best RTR tires. Thanks for watching and commenting

[@Gibsonlife573]

Hey I can I can definitely stand by that hair bun and that fridge foam trick

[@RcDungeon]

@@Gibsonlife573 For sure great budget inserts

[@ChrisSnider-k7u]

Awesome video little RC brother thanks for the input on sticky tires

[@RcDungeon]

@@ChrisSnider-k7u no problem brother thanks for watching

[@leoncottrill3254]

Awesome video bro 👍

[@jimbo4203]

I like the injora Super Swampers, I got en on my Ecto 12 they work great for me over here in Tennessee, I got to try some pins some time

[@RcDungeon]

I may have to try the Injora super swampers

[@jimbo4203]

@RcDungeon with soft foams they good , I'm running the 4.19's on the 12 and it's a little Beast

[@kevinbreaker2683]

👍 ok video 📹

[@RcDungeon]

@@kevinbreaker2683 Thanks Kevin

[@Gibsonlife573]

You said something right there that a lot of us miss you know they don't work for you but this is the thing I believe every truck every rig has their own Tire preference I have seen it very seldom can you take one rig and have a great Tire on that rig and then put it on something else in it perform just as good you know what I mean

[@RcDungeon]

@@Gibsonlife573 100% agreence Rc brother we try and swap tires between different people and rigs to get a good feel for the products, thank you for watching and dropping a comment letting us all know

[@3dman875]

Nice looking truck

[@RcDungeon]

@@3dman875 Thank you

[@3dman875]

Hey brother ya know me its free its 4 me 😂😂 4:44

[@DRZ-RC]

That’s crazy, it’s hard to believe that those ruptures aren’t performing. I’m in Ohio, similar territory, and Ruptures kill it around here. I’ve modified some 2.2’s and they are absolutely awesome. As far as the inserts go, I’m down with the silicones but the one downside I’ve encountered is that they are a bit bouncy on the rebound. Other than that, it’s hard to beat for the price for sure.

[@RcDungeon]

@@DRZ-RC yah we were completely astonished that those Ruptures didn't work well. I've found a way to control the bounce of the silicone inserts, as well as stiffening up the green for about a perfect firmness. Will be working on an update video breaking all that down and explaining it

[@FoundryRC]

👍🏻

[@Gibsonlife573]

I know a lot of guys say with the Rapture do you want it to be a little bit stiffer to where it just works off the tread pattern I tell you now I found cutting down the tread some on a lot of the tires helps where they ain't us tall definitely improved a lot of tires now I am running smaller scale stuff but a lot of the tire compounds are the same

[@evintacy7272]

Man we’re ya at in Wv I’m up in Tucker county! Dude be great hook up and run somewhere! 😊

[@RcDungeon]

@@evintacy7272 I'm in Calhoun County area. Hit me up on Messenger maybe we can figure something out

[@DubVredneck]

Yup 14:08

[@Gibsonlife573]

Only thing I don't like about inserts is the energy return on the tire like when you say you're going up some soup and you might have to get on it a little bit like it definitely makes the tire hop a lot worse

[@RcDungeon]

@@Gibsonlife573 they do indeed create a bounce

[@DubVredneck]

See i wondered when i saw folks soak em because ive soften tars on a 1:1 before except i was softening the sidewalls n i used dot3 brake fluidn brushed em on

[@RcDungeon]

@@DubVredneck I'll try brake fluid on these clone Hyrax and see of that'll get them to bite better thanks brother

[@DubVredneck]

@ yeah i did what you did except on sidewall

[@Gibsonlife573]

Have you ever tried 409 Degreaser I use that lemon scented 409 on every tire that comes out of the package before I even run them to not get release mode off in any grease that may be on them and then after that once I get my tires pretty dirty I'll wipe them down again it's like it brings new life back to them

[@RcDungeon]

@@Gibsonlife573 yes I use simple green to remove embedded dirt out. I will try the 409 thanks for that information

[@douglasperry1226]

Hey brother! I use transmission fluid in my lawn tractor tires to swell them up I wonder if that would have a better effect on tread? WD40 is fish oil based and dries out guickly but transmission fluid may work? Works on lawn tires just a thought and doesn’t ruin the rubber compound. ✌🏼🤘🏼👊🏼

[@RcDungeon]

@@douglasperry1226 I got some clone tires I'll try that on, thanks for the info Rc brother and thanks for watching.

[@douglasperry1226]

@ Yeh for sure let me know what the outcome is I have 6 to ten bottles of different fluids. Very interesting to discover something about that. Have a great evening laters!

[@Gibsonlife573]

People's attention spans I like longer videos I modify everything no matter it's expensive are cheap LOL even the greatest tires I've ran I've modded them to see if I can make them better

[@staysmallrc]

Do you vent your tires at all? I know you go in water with the scale stuff. My heavy rigs, 8lbs +, are about flat on vented tires with dual stage foams even. There are lots of variables for sure!

[@RcDungeon]

@@staysmallrc if I get a tire that eventually gets a hole in it, I will vent. Everyone says venting water will get out but eventually it rots the foams either way

[@RcDungeon]

If your running primarily a 4.6-4.7 tire and trailing I'd definitely swap to the Injora silicone inserts water will.not effect them at all. The Injora is I'll use for my bigger tire trail rigs now

[@staysmallrc]

@RcDungeon it helps crawl but I mostly trail and need a little cush if ya know what I mean 🤔

[@RcDungeon]

@staysmallrc I'd recommend the Blue Injora inserts

[@staysmallrc]

@@RcDungeon 👍

[@DubVredneck]

Exactly 6:38

[@CustomRcGarage]

Does leaving the rim on make a difference when applying the WD40?

[@RcDungeon]

@@CustomRcGarage No that shouldn't make a difference just applying it to the tread

[@DubVredneck]

And the driving style of the person has an affect to 8:38

[@RcDungeon]

@@DubVredneck exactly we've been swapping tires between 3 different guys so we have a wide variety of driving styles

[@DubVredneck]

@ my driving style changes with my mood or add wave

[@RcDungeon]

@DubVredneck lol! Same here, some tires we've been testing do prefer wheel speed which sometimes I don't mind but I'd rather have a tire that likes a slower crawl 😉 but like ya said everyone has a preference

[@DubVredneck]

@@RcDungeon well mines not really preference its the internals havin a glitch ya could say on a day like yesterday when my bcsc ( brain communication speed censor) was acting up my driver mod would be switching gears mid run sometimes yeah if im rock crawlin i want slow slow now trailing yeah slow some but i want the gitter juice when i want not just need because trail running fir me isnt drive in a line on the trail n each mudhole stppun fir a beer i like shitn' n gettin' then hit few holes then smoke 1 n get a shot then back to it you know DubV muddin style trail running that's why when i go trailin I'll hafta lead or pull up rear cover position of the convoy plus my impatient ass gets like a 3yr old stud colt on derby day prancin n just dyin to let him eat

[@Gibsonlife573]

I hope the hell a man didn't take a Jay Concepts bag and put a different tire in it I wouldn't think they would

[@RcDungeon]

@@Gibsonlife573 I know these were bagged labeled everything Jconcepts

[@Gibsonlife573]

I thought that that was like their first pin Tire because they put their name on it that xhx tire ready for certain the other one does not have their name on it correct the S4 compound

[@RcDungeon]

I think the first pin tire was the ones that just say comp pin on the side wall, I maybe wrong. Thise pins are killer tires and very budget friendly Rc brother so far best I've tested on blue Injora inserts

[@jackawaki]

They way you describe them it sounds like my buddies set which are shit lol but I think his are fakes . But I can’t tell the difference do you know how to tell real from the fakes?

[@RcDungeon]

@@jackawaki Lot of the fakes have a silicone type feel to the rubber I've noticed. These Ruptures might be fakes as well but he did get these from Amain online so I really don't know. I have managed to get these to work better but not worth the time unless you pay maybe $5 for all four lol! I've noticed most the clone tires have a strange bounce to them and are stretchy like a rubber band. I can say the newer clones are starting to become way better though. I have a set of clone tusk from Mix racing I'm going to be doing a video on soon. I think they are definitely worth having
