[@epicrc2084]

really impressed with your dedication and effort

[@redndeyes]

Good to see powerhobby coming up in the tire market. Joe be prepared for some real rain not sure how close you follow the weather.

[@ExocagedRC]

its not stopping lol

[@Moggmodels23]

Just watched your video it's alsome buddy love the jeep

[@V8chump]

Ooh those look so good, pretty scale too. I’d like to see how they behave with anti foams, maybe test them on the ramp again when it dries out too 😁

I saw the Stage Dive in the background at the end of the video with a body on it. Looks like it's the Jconcepts Power Master!. Thats funny i have the same Punks3D chassis and same body, I just literally got done painting it last. I hade to chop ton off the body to get it to sit really low. I can wait for the next video on your build to see how yours turns out!

[@ExocagedRC]

you are correct

[@powersmodelgarage]

That’s going to be fun to clean up 😀

Proprietary tire beads , 100% best way to put me off of buying a brand's tire

[@old-rcplane-phart]

Why? Every manufacturer has their own 'thing' but u still buy what u like/prefer

[@rab..]

@@old-rcplane-phart not a fan of new standards being added just to stop you mixing and matching setups with wheels/tires from other brands or wheels that you already own. Changing standards to obsolete other components is a massive and expensive headache in my other hobby of mountain biking but it's so deep rooted that it's unavoidable now. So while there are companies out there willing to play the game and make products that are more flexible and universal , I'd rather support those companies.

The tread pattern looks promising and the compound is quite grippy. Now, if they can get the inserts sorted out (love that they give you 2 options, though). Powerhobby is upping their game, looking forward to seeing how these do. Curious to know how much time was on these tires prior to filming the video? Thanks for the review 👍

Those Vitavon wheels look great. I'd like to see how well they go together. I'm over Vanquish products, look fantastic but that's it. I could have 2 sets of really nice SSD wheels for what I have in 1 set from VP.

[@ExocagedRC]

lots of bolts as the ring is what holds them together

[@paulschryer9571]

- These PowerHobby "Defenders" are so "fkn awesome" lookin', somewhat similar to a Team OttSix "VooDoo KLR", but the side-lugs are "way chunkier" !!!! "😯" 👍 ...I gotta have !!! Go look & compare both brands !! 😉

[@stevensdroneworld392]

Did you take off the panhard bar on the rear or leave it on

[@old-rcplane-phart]

👍😉

[@old-rcplane-phart]

Course change at 5 minutes!😛
