Testing the SCX24 FlubberStufferz SLYMEBALLZ - The Perfect Tire Insert??

In this video I review the Flubberstufferz Slymeballz tire inserts for the scx24 Injora comp tires. I install the Slymeballz in the competition pins on our scx24 deadbolt and test performance in a variety of areas, focusing primarily on sidehilling. These are great inserts, packed with innovation, that take your tire setup to the next level. Watch on to see them in action!

Nice! I've been hoping for a video on these after seeing you post on Instagram. Very innovative idea for sure. It would be cool to see them on the grippers if you get the opportunity. 🙌

[@CapeCrawlers]

They would be great in the grippers since those tires are so incredibly soft. The added sidewall strength would be a nice addition to those tires

[@TrevorParkJones]

Those do seem to add stability on the side hilling quite a bit! I've been curious about these for awhile now, so this was cool to see when I got up today. I know foams can really make a difference in performance, but I haven't been able to decide exactly how to run my setup yet. Thanks for doing this Adam, take care!!!

[@CapeCrawlers]

They’re great in a tall tire like the pins. I’m really interested to see what they’re like in other tires, like the swamp kings, or even in the Patagonia’s like what’s in the c10. Very cool alternative to foams either way!

[@ygallac357]

Hey Adam you seem to not be afraid of work and enjoy your hobby and tinkering. Thank you for sharing🤘🤘🤘 Would you consider taking extra firm, firm and medium foams and with your punch following Slimeballz lead and try two rows of vent or holes. Different sizes, different staggers and see if you can come close to sidewall stability and obstacle conformity. You could also punch holes following the circumference/directional overlapping the hole punch and decreasing in size to mimic the shape of void in the Slimeballz. I would think a minimal amount of layout just so you didn’t run out out “pattern space” not as precise as the paper patterns sent to you but good old fashioned by eye should prove or dis prove a concept. You are so correct about getting it to the ground in any power wheeled sport and how important tire tuning is and to be able to obtain maximum tuning with pure economy is a corner stone of this hobby. Tinker on dude🤙

[@CapeCrawlers]

Great idea Ed! That would be a great project. I found myself wishing I had more insert options today after mounting up some scramblers on the bronco. I just could not find the right density and structure with all of the foams I have on hand.

[@keithbutler6361]

Hi Adam I hope your well , I’ve watched this video a couple of times now and I decided this morning to order a set for a build I’m planning and collecting parts for , so now the long wait for them to get to me over here in the UK , I’ve been ordering a lot of parts from Injora lately and I’m so impressed with there delivery times I’m hoping these slymeballz will get to me soon so I can try them out myself, thanks for sharing this product because with out you and others posting videos of these newer products how would we find out about them and also seeing them in action is a great help to me personally and I’m sure to other guys out there , keep the videos coming , stay safe mate , Keith 🇬🇧

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thanks for watching! Glad I can share these great products!

[@andrewrichey7374]

I’ve been little nova’s for six years or so, I’m switching all mine over to flubber stuffers I love how they perform. Been testing the V 3’s just recent got two sets of the V4 in my go to tires mud terrain M/T’s Just test it out today on round slick rocks, they performed excellent

[@CapeCrawlers]

I’m eager to try them in some different tires now!

[@MitchellWayyyyne]

Great in depth review man. The only thing I hate about the flubberstufferz is that I love them so much I need them in every tire now! Running the V4 in a set of LGRP swamp kings & in the PH TrailKings. V3 in the grippers, got a set of the v3.3 on the way. And have the V5s in the comp pins. They really are the best tire supplement around 👍🏻👍🏻

[@CapeCrawlers]

You went all in!! I’d love to try them in the swamp kings on my gladiator.

[@andrewrichey7374]

Yeah buddy you’re going to love them

[@austinredd7117]

Nice video. I’ve got slimes in my 54mm wrangler tires. They seem to work really well for me!

[@CapeCrawlers]

I’m impressed so far! I want to get them out on some gnarly rocky terrain to put them to the test, but first impressions are that they work great.

[@erinyorke6774]

How did you get the purple coloured inserts?

[@stefan-norge]

Good and interesting work Adam 👍

[@CapeCrawlers]

Hey Stefan! Great to see you on this platform 👍🏻

[@robinsonreptiles]

Enjoy the content man, learn something every time. Unrelated question, can you recommend a good charger for the 3S batteries? Thanks

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thank you! Glad you are enjoying it! I have the EcoPower: www.amainhobbies.com/ecopower-electron-li32-ac-lipo-balance-battery-charger-23s-2a-25w-ecp-1004/p698674

[@Js_junkyard]

I’m putting some together right now in some injora brass wheels. These seem to plug up the vent holes, did you vent the tire or the insert at all?

[@CapeCrawlers]

I vent the tires. These seal really well on the wheels!

[@andrewrichey7374]

Yeah and the side hill when the tires fold over under itself what throws you off

[@GeezerGramps]

Great video but to be honest I didn’t see that much difference between the CI’s & Flubberstuffers. I actually thought the CI’s did better on the side hill. Comparing both on real rocks would also , make a great video.

[@CapeCrawlers]

Interesting feedback! I do need to get them out on some real gnarly terrain. The basement course is good, but real world conditions would be much more telling.

[@basc5026]

34usd for 4 V5 inserts is an absolute rip off in my opinion I’m sure they’re a great product but that price point is insane

[@CapeCrawlers]

The price pushed me a way from these initially as well. You’ve got to be serious about your tire inserts to pull the trigger on these for sure.

[@Nels_On]

Cool. I have just into 24... And just have a fcx24... But, also want to have a scx24 too...

[@CapeCrawlers]

The fcx24 is a great rig!!

[@horstboehm8876]

I know this is off topic; which transmitter are you using?

[@CapeCrawlers]

In this video I was using the Furitek avatar

[@chrisnewman3395]

Hey Adam did you have any problems getting the rims to seat properly with the flubbers? I’m finding that some of the tyre keeps coming out and it’s taking A LONG time to assemble them. Any tips?

[@CapeCrawlers]

I would reach out to FlubRC and verify you got the correct size. There are usually a couple variations based on the wheel and ring size. It can get really difficult if the size is off

[@chrisnewman3395]

@@CapeCrawlers turns out I ordered the wrong ones. I need the T series to fit the LGRP rims.

[@bassboomboing]

Hey man great videos. I have my Injora Pins ordered and will have them soon, and will look to pick up the FlubberStufferz as soon as I can. Question: I have metal steering links, servo horn and emax servo recently installed. The screw from the servo horn to the steering link works loose every crawl I do. -How do I keep them from working loose? Thanks, and all the best.

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thanks for the support! I think you’ll really like the pins, especially with the slymeballz. To answer your servo horn question, the best solution I’ve found is to use a tiny nut and thread it onto the bolt in front of the horn. Some blue lock tight will keep it on there. You may have to use a slightly longer bolt to get enough to thread onto, but be careful not to get too long otherwise you’ll hang it up on obstacles. Mofo RC sells the tiny nuts if you don’t have any handy

[@bassboomboing]

@@CapeCrawlers Thanks for your quick response. My Pins arrived today, along with metal high-clearance links. I put the foams from some RC4WD Wranglers, as the were softer and smaller than the ones that came with the Pins. Installed and ready to test!

[@andrewrichey7374]

Do you vent those pin tires, it is a must big difference

[@CapeCrawlers]

Yes I do, I vent all the tall tires

[@PakWahyu]

Very cool video my friend😎😎😎👍👍👍

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thanks my friend!

[@RCRookie805]

If you’re running the LGRP Ripper tires, should I get the Type “S” or Type “T”?

[@CapeCrawlers]

The S and T refer to the ring size of the wheel. The slymeballz for the gripper tires is the V3, but the ring size will vary based on your wheel choice. If you’re unsure which one to use, I suggest contacting flubberstufferz. They’re super helpful and responsive

[@larrymunyon6403]

What wheels are you using if I may ask

[@CapeCrawlers]

These are rc4wd stamped steel beadlocks

[@farmboyrc]

when i get tires for my c10 imma get slymebalzz

[@CapeCrawlers]

Let me know when you do! I’m interested to hear about your experience with them

Going great my friend. I hope all is well up north!

[@hellofromsoutheastalaskarc7517]

@@CapeCrawlers yes I'm just kicking back today having a family dinner tonight

[@richardfleming9243]

That would be $41.00 shipped more then two sets of tires. This world be a head Scratcher to be at this price

[@CapeCrawlers]

It’s tough to justify the cost. I was having a hard time finding a setup that works with the competition pins and these seem to be the right way to go for those tires. But it’s a big investment for inserts.
