Crawler Canyon Quick(re)view: Pro-Line Baja Pro X 1.9" (G8)

[@durden.tyler537]

Whaaaaaaaaa? Doc’s got Pro-Line goods on his bench? Quite honestly, I’m awaiting the day the angels shine upon you a set of Hyrax

[@mitsuman5555]

In which he references the spanish inquisition as part of a tire review. That's some good Canyon right there. Haha.

[@jambailey71]

I have these tires and I use the same squid inserts that I run in my VXT2’s and Ruptures the 115mm inserts! They work great!

[@donmurchison2558]

Awesome video as always. I run the Prolin baja pro X on mine with duel stage foams there great tires for me. I run on limestone rock and limestone gravel. They are great for trail running too.

[@jackhando5465]

Thank You Shaker!! Those tires would have been full of webs 🕸 prior to your web killer. Another great test from the tire testing master.

[@philthy5058]

I've been running these in predator compound for a while, the timtin dual stage foams have been a perfect match.

[@after9527]

TY shakermt for donating so many tires.

[@TheAmericanUhate]

I like the G8 compound a lot better than the predator compound personally. It just seems to work better and will definitely last longer. I've got some 18 year old proline tires I am planning on sending you when I get home eventually lol. Am thinking about sending some soft sticky drag slicks too, I'd like to see how they work on your rocks there lol

[@brianmorrison2846]

I've been running a set off M/T baja pro x off and on testing on all my rigs. It has monster bite and gets better when it feathers. But the lugs are huge and we know how that works especially with a soft compound.

[@6oh8rc48]

Just mounted up a set of Rock beasts in komp compound for my SE, but really like how these performed. Wasn't sure if they would be too big for the SE. GREAT VID!!

[@TheAmericanUhate]

Sl3d says that inserts from the Jconcepts Holds & Hunks both fit the proline baja pro X. It's a 4.85 tall tire, I forgot the width lol. I had predator compound on my phoenix and put G8 on my trx4, was a world of difference in traction, G8 is better for me. Ran the Tusk with squids today in West Texas too.

[@CrawlerCanyon]

I can't imagine the Hold insert fitting in the Pro X, but if they say so. The 1.9 Pro X is wider than the 2.2 Canyon Trail.

[@lastcreations8845]

stock foam fronts, CC soft rear ( maybe a 1/4 or 1/2 strip center to make up height before outer wrap)

[@WilliamAdams-d6u]

I use hair buns with them on my trx4 defender trail truck and they work good

[@DIllybarification]

One day we'll get a test of the club5 dual foams...

[@FeralRC]

Schwalbe tires are a PITA to mount. I concur. I have an automotive tire mounter and balancer and have sat around thinking how i could make it work with that. (I can't)

[@jaxonandcorbingoss8154]

Need to try preadator

[@drowildcat2960]

A+ Another amazing video!

[@jonstone5259]

should do a review on the new injora 1.9 king trekker trepador clones, still not sure how i feel about the uneven tread design but theres no denying they flat out work in the northeast where i am at...best 1.9 tire ive ever owned. and ive had them allll..

[@offroad1911]

I have the Pro X tires with SL3D 113mm squid inserts on my Capra axle Rock Pirate truck and they’re great.

[@CrawlerCanyon]

They're definitely the best of the Pro X options out there, but still not one of my favorite tires. They're... fine. ProLine should do a scale of the Pro XS, which is inarguably a better tire.

[@thundervalleycbshop]

Wow I never thought I'd see the day that you would run proline lol.. we run the Krawlers with anti foams and tuning rods with great results 1 rig is 6lbs and mine is 10.

[@CrawlerCanyon]

You can blame the Man from Montana, as he sent them in. I've long said: I'll test 'em, I just won't buy 'em.

[@KevW-z7z]

I'm new to your channel. Subbed. Why dont you like pro line? ​@@CrawlerCanyon

[@CrawlerCanyon]

@@KevW-z7z I don't like their business practices, I don't like their customer service, I don't like their pricing model, and in general I just think that there are better options for less money in 9 out of 10 situations.

[@stevebuchanan5773]

Mr canyon have you done a review on the proline grunt military tire. Thanks

[@smokingwraith9990]

Excellent review. Off-topic question. Are you happy with the Bosch screwdriver? I am in the market

[@CrawlerCanyon]

Yep. The brushed combo is the way to go-- the brushless version, aside from being significantly more expensive-- is just to powerful. This is the set I use: amzn.to/3Oz0onr But if you're not in a hurry, wait for a sale. They have the combo for $99 a couple of times a year.

[@smokingwraith9990]

@@CrawlerCanyon super, much appreciated!

[@tiborbeetles1882]

Darn it Doc, I know have these in my modelshop basket to replace the RC4WD set I bought when the Prolines were out of stock everywhere! You think Proline dual stages would suit it?

[@CrawlerCanyon]

Proline dual stage ONLY fit Proline beadlocks. They just don't work in a "regular" wheel. So unless you're diving headfirst into the Proline pool, I'd say no. On any normal beadlock, the Timtin dual stages work much better.

[@tiborbeetles1882]

@@CrawlerCanyon Do you mean the way they slide side to side on the inner rims? I have noticed that.

[@CrawlerCanyon]

@@tiborbeetles1882 Yep. The beadlock ring for the PL beadlocks is almost V-shaped to keep the foams in place. So on anything else, they slide all over the place.

[@AreRiz]

​@@CrawlerCanyonMight be late for this information, but scx10 iii stock plastic rim has v shape inner ring

[@NTX_RC]

I have these in predator compound which is softer and they do great. The RC4WD version really gives these tires a bad reputation.

[@floridarossi9111]

I have a Gmade Komodo. Does anyone know axles that will fit that are not gmade.?

[@CrawlerCanyon]

The Komdo is just a different flavor of the Buffalo, they share the same chassis, axles, etc. The GA44 is just Gmade's take on the AR44, so while some link lengths (like panhard and draglink) might change, a set of AR44s should just bolt right up.

[@floridarossi9111]

@@CrawlerCanyonthank you

[@BrandonMythigander]

@shakermt. Thanks for all you do man 🙏😎👌

[@CornholioMcGeeRC]

Comment 👍. For the algorithm

[@rudykwan9196]

Which one is better the baja pro x from pro line or rc4wd??

[@CrawlerCanyon]

OH, it's not even close. The RC4WD Baja Pro is . Most likely due to being made out of X2S3, aka "the compound nobody asked for."

[@rudykwan9196]

​@CrawlerCanyon oh so proline ftw for baja pro x?? Btw I've asked in ur dumborc ddf 350 video..i bought dumborc ddf350 but the weird thing is it wont do full turn left and right in my vanquish phoenix..already set the epa to max 120 but still no full turn as the stock transmitter does..do u knw whats the problem?

[@CrawlerCanyon]

@@rudykwan9196 guessing, I would say make sure your dual rate is at 100%.

[@rudykwan9196]

​@CrawlerCanyon which pro lines compound of baja pro x is better? The G8 or predator?

[@CrawlerCanyon]

@@rudykwan9196 I would only use predator if I lived somewhere that it didn’t routinely get above about 85°F.

[@ajscm6748]

What wheel is that?

[@CrawlerCanyon]

They're cheap Amazon copies of the KMC Machete (?,) probably Injora, which I got back in 2021. They come up as "currently unavailable" now. Couldn't find anything similar other than a red set from Benedict Harry-- I think 80% of the wheels on Amazon now are 105 clones. I don't even know where they are in the fleet now, actually.

[@ajscm6748]

@@CrawlerCanyon Dang, the only ones I have been able to find is the vanquish ones that are super expensive. I was hoping to find a cheaper alternative. Thanks for responding, I appreciate it!

[@CrawlerCanyon]
