How to Cut a RC Crawler Tire | Traxxas TRX4 Tire Cutting

[@varmintsniper2551]

The first thing I noticed about those TRX tires on my truck was that they suck. I took off some worn out copies of hyrax treads and they kicked ass. Ha ha. They need to fire that tire designer. Ha

[@RoadsideRC]

They really don't! I have put them head-to-head versus many other tires...and they have always done very well. These tires are under rated!

[@thomasblair7996]

Done a set myself an have to say it does give me improvement

[@RoadsideRC]

Thanks! I do think it helps a lot!

[@daneflorio3338]

Nice vid. Thx for the info. Where did u get that body?

[@RoadsideRC]

Thanks! It is the stock TRX4 Sport body, but with this wrap: www.ebay.com/itm/123979242303?hash=item1cddbd1b3f:g:63gAAOSwjqJd0bho&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&campid=5338469288&toolid=11800&mkevt=1

Great info and video

[@RoadsideRC]

Thank you!

[@maximumrpm1868]

You really one expected to do a whole lot different would just a tiny bit of rubber removed but it seems to make a difference

[@RoadsideRC]

Sure does! I was actually a little surprised also, if I am honest.

[@billyb5057]

guess this is all a little hit and miss to increase grip *we hit the like 👍Au👍always a full watch from us*

[@RoadsideRC]

Yes sir! Thanks for the support.

[@ozboy8144]

I did that to mine but just Center lugs on my trx4 spot I think it make a huge difference 👍

[@RoadsideRC]

I am very happy with it so far. I think the shoulder lugs was also a good move. Time will tell!

[@3Dgooroo]

That’s a cool project, worked out pretty well. Check out my rides 😉

[@RoadsideRC]

Will do! Thanks.

[@Acorbisal]

Do you Cut the Tyre from the TRX6 to? Or can you make a video from it please!🙏🏻

[@RoadsideRC]

For the Mercedes TRX6, I am not sure if I would cut that tire. If I did, it would be part of that center plug to allow more room.

[@NCMOUNTAINSbackyardRC]

Traxxas Trx4 tires, there just good all the way round, For RTR, For shore, 👍🌞

[@RoadsideRC]

I'm pretty happy with them for now. I have a bunch of other tries I will end up trying and doing a comparison of. Which do you like the best?

[@tankbulldogge8639]

Troy, I wish I have seen this video back when you made it. I would bought some stock in Band Aid. Good Video. I also would have had a pair of needle nose

[@RoadsideRC]

Ha! My fingers have survived!

[@teamrcquebec7971]

Dind get time to try my trx4 so far but will consider doing this if i dont like how they handle. Keep up the good work my friend

[@RoadsideRC]

Thank you! So far, I really do like and suggest this free mod.

[@ErrlRC]

That's a pretty cool idea to try! I think I may have some cutting to do in the near future. Great vid Troy!

[@RoadsideRC]

Awesome! Glad it was helpful! Honestly, I am happy with the results. It is making me take a second look at a few other tires I have...

[@sebas888888]

I did kind of the same but cut less lugs on the rear tires with some existing asymmetrical patterns in mind. This way the front conforms and the rear conforms and holds a bit more. Best of both worlds

[@RoadsideRC]

Thanks for the idea!

[@krashkingrc9715]

Great job definitely works

[@RoadsideRC]

I do it to all of my TRX4 tires!

[@jrc-fabs1634]

Don't try this without adult supervision... That's very smart thinking!.. And I'm So happy to see that your using my custom rc stand! I enjoyed watching!

[@RoadsideRC]

Thanks! Yes, the stand has been a regular feature with this TRX4! Honestly, I never really thought I would use one so much!

[@jrc-fabs1634]

I know right!!!

[@sebas888888]

Will you test the hair bun replacement for foams one day?

[@RoadsideRC]

Sure!

[@sebas888888]

@@RoadsideRC that would be really nice I really like your channel and trust your honesty. I saw this hair bun hack here and there, also on another channel I like on KZbin from @Just Scalin' he says it's genius and witchcraft. So if you share your views on this too I would really appreciate. I plan on doing this on my ecto and trenchers. Btw your ecto videos are really helpful too. Thanks and may the torque be with you

[@RichD]

Interesting and dangerous! No way my wife lets me do this!

[@RoadsideRC]

Hmm. Good point. For a person with a history of cutting their hands...just drop them off at my house. :)

[@RichD]

Roadside RC yep, bad track record!

[@johnmiller4553]

Nice 🤙🤙🤙🤙

[@RoadsideRC]

Gotta love the cheap/free mods!
