Proline Trencher VS Ottsix USD with Thor!

[@dkmgm2011]

Very interesting comparison. Never thought trenchers handled loose dirt. Tomorrow I'm mounting predator 2.2 trenchers on my superlite inspired carbon build. Thanks for the dedication sir. You're doing an awesome job.

[@ExocagedRC]

I was surprised at that dirt part myself.

[@Lucas.stalcup]

@@ExocagedRC Traxxas big boor shocks right

[@overdosed51]

I recently replaced my worn out predator Hyrax's for some Duratrax Deep woods and have been loving them. Maybe a little too soft for only rocks but they are unstoppable in the trails. Still may have to pick up a set of those new trenches just to feel the difference

[@ExocagedRC]

The deep woods are a great tire.

[@dkmgm2011]

Love the deep woods.

[@heady2008]

The Duratrax Showdown (aka Louise Rowdy/Fastrax Boxers) are also great tyres especially if running in loose conditions. They also work surprsingly well in the rocks

[@killerinstink9260]

These Trencher's! For what it's worth,i do lines on wet rocks,that i can not do with cut and siped Canyon trails in dry conditions 😊 I'm really impressed on how it rips through forest ground also. And it looks really god to 😃

[@allennogues9061]

As an ottsix fan Prolines are simply better tires…

[@CM-ig2pf]

Totally surprised the usd’s didn’t do better in the dirt🤷‍♂️👍😎

[@ExocagedRC]

Me too. Maybe they just need more power?

[@Xofroggy]

I love my stickies, i used foams from my duratrax deepwoods crs and they arent too stiff on my rig

[@wellcrc-6703]

Duratrax fan here so i can provide neutral feedback 😂 im not sure how/if you wash your tires. Dawn dish soap and water to get the oil and crud off of old and new tires alike. Really makes them sticky and helps prevent some clogging with dirt or sand. Trenchers clear win on this round.

[@trentgalloway]

Don't hear that .. ever 🤑

[@wellcrc-6703]

@exocaged just saw your old video of clean vs dirty tires on optimus. Sorry for not being a subscriber sooner lol 😅

[@roberttruesdell6151]

Usd are meant for bouncers with lots of power. Barely gave it any power with the usd on it. Gave much more with the Trenchers. Either way the Trenchers were impressive in the dirt.

[@brianellison3525]

Dang that truck has good composure. So smooth. Even with two totally different tire set ups, no wheel hop. Excellent build. Would like to see the same test between the Hyraxes and the Trenchers. I bounce between natural large river rock crawling and a comp trail made up of broken slab and dirt with wood obstacles. The river rock is all about the Hyrax, but I've been looking for the right tire on the varied terrain of that damn crawler course. Lol Have fun.

[@ExocagedRC]

I’d have to see if anyone local has the big hyraxes.

[@rcchallenge8626]

Thor is just a best 😎 absolutely love this rig 💯

[@motorcityrcattack9872]

I've always liked the trencher tires and after seeing how the crawler version killed it I'm gonna have to get a set.

[@GrimJerr]

You need a more robust ESC in THOR !

[@rc-daily]

I've never liked the foams that come with the stickies

[@S9RUT]

I would really like to see Trenchers vs Super Swampers on the dirt with something like the Bomber or Ryft. 👍

[@ExocagedRC]

I recorded a video today. Trenchers vs USD vs Stock Ryft Boggers

[@andrewrichey7374]

Awesome I might have to try some trenchers appreciate you sharing

[@butterybird4987]

Have you had any durability issues with the Amazon dig? I’ve heard a lot of people talking trash about the all of the Amazon three gears. Mainly saying there was to much play in the spur. Also I’d love to see how some 2.2 deepwoods and maybe some pitbull rockbeasts XORs compared?

[@ExocagedRC]

Man so far I’ve been really impressed with the amazon transmission. Still Got the metal 48p spur gear on it. I like the 2.2 deep woods but they would need new foams. They are so soft and floppy.

[@butterybird4987]

@@ExocagedRC cool okay, I ordered one a bit ago and I had got a bit nervous thinking it was gonna be a waste of money lol! yeah those deepwoods do require good foams or they just fold and roll

[@wayongrahamjr6120]

What does a rig like that cost?, just like it sits except would need a chevy or Dodge body. that thing looks awesome though

[@sharkusd]

Thor is awesome 💪

[@allyoucando8486]

I learn why I need to change to metal housing axles, when you add brass parts the original axles is plastic can break, next upgrade metal axles, and in tires i use Proline Trencher they're the best tire i buy, but i now the USD are not, but Proline is always improve the compound

[@uknowhuidiz]

Whats the difference between G8 and predator compound,?

[@ExocagedRC]

Softness and stickiness. The predators hook up better but wear out faster.

[@uknowhuidiz]

@@ExocagedRC what do you recommend on the sandy and rocky terrain? Predators?

[@markstopczynski5869]

What tires would you recommend for a 5 lb or just under c2 portal based lcg rig?

[@rc-daily]

Hard to beat a predator compound krawler

[@edsadventures3575]

What kind of axles are those?

[@kevingoodrich3050]

Locally everyone that runs the Trenchers loves them, the ottis just can't hang. They look nice but just don't perform.

[@fireman872]

Truth!

[@meirdeaph]

💯👍

[@gudmundursveinsson9060]

Trenchers test on the ryft coming up?

[@ExocagedRC]

I can but that would be a tough one to do

[@ExocagedRC]

As in a comparison between these two

[@cs1814]

Ottsix usd are heavy compared to tenchors that's makes a difference and again foams make a difference also

[@just_inolredneck8319]

The klr’s was gripping n the dirt so much it reset the esc.. the trencher was spinning more but didn’t allow it to reset..

[@ExocagedRC]

Well that or it coulda been the larger diameter and maybe more weight.

[@andyfrancis5277]

I think his bias is showing lol

[@robertflint7392]

What rc truck is this?

[@WrecklessChevy]

Man I don’t see it being fair, I see more wheel spin on chances for the trenchers than I did the usd just overall did not get equal wheel speed for the usd when it looked pretty obvious if they would’ve got wheel speed they would’ve made it happen,

[@bobbymulwee7641]

What happened to Thor?

[@Das_Brute]

What’s up with the crawlmaster mini resetting? I just scored one on marketplace and now I’m worried about running it

[@rc-daily]

It's not really built for that much load

[@Das_Brute]

@@rc-daily my crawlmaster will be on a scattergun 10.3 with 1.9 so I’m pretty confident it should be ok now that I think about it. My usd stickies are on my rock bouncer with a mamba and castle combo 🤘🏻

[@rc-daily]

@@Das_Brute yeah it'll be fine with 1.9s on a crawler. It would probably do fine with 2.2s on a crawler with a low kv motor and easy driving.

[@Das_Brute]

@@rc-daily I bought the 2500kv revolver and will be on 3s. I just want a smooth crawler. My built Capra gets all the hard work 😂

[@rc-daily]

@@Das_Brute hopefully you got the 10 pole

[@blakedenley3792]

You should try some jconcepts scorpios tires on thor

[@ExocagedRC]

I’ve got the 1.9 Scorpios. They are really good on dry rock and dusty terrain

[@rcdaejeonrc5878]

I'm going to watch the video well ~~^^

[@DoubleADay]

I think you're going to have to leave the trenchers on Thor.

[@3000gtalex]

Ottsix are all show proline knows what they’re doing

[@1fox2go]

So you "compared" two different tires but used different foams? That is in no way a comparison as foams are at least %50 of the battle...

[@GrimJerr]

Prediction Stickies in the Dirt, Trenchers on the rocks. Let's see what happens.

[@GrimJerr]

surprising that the Stickies weren't better in the dirt. I haven't run mine yet so I will be doing a Hyrax (proline single stage) comparison test on Kong ad then on Bumble in the future, running the Stock RTR foams in my USD Stickies and they are stuffed, the rubber is stiff, but they do have a nice contact patch. If the soften up a bit with use they should be pretty fun on the Bouncer , but not so much the crawler.

[@GrimJerr]

I have Pitbull Growlers on Dual Stage foams and they are really good in the dirt also, but not so much on the rocks. Probably a little stiff with the dual stage foams.

[@jakequaempts5234]

Thor is bada@$

[@enixstaysfuk]

I'm curious as to why such a veteran in the RC world would even do this test with such an unfair advantage🤔 the foams can and DO make such a big difference and surely YOU of all people know that, basher foams on a crawler? Really dude? Halos inners and proline outters 2stage foams a real competitive set up versus a DuPont basher foam?!?! This is so unfair from the get go when the tires couldn't flex and get delfection to grip and make the climb the to first test. With all this being said I AM a proline fan and have the Trenchers and hyrax and love them but I have been curious about this tire and wish it had a REAL chance in your test. I guess if you want it done right you gotta do it yourself. Next time be fair and put in the work to switch over the foams too, yes it will suck to have to remove all those screws but cmon man we expect better from such a great RC channel. 👍

[@ExocagedRC]

Yeah the foams weren’t even but I kinda wanted to see how this would play out. The dirt is what surprised me the most
