Why use Long Wear R/C Tires?

[@vincentking9980]

Thanks for sharing M8 👍 I'd never heard of long wear tyres until now, and the test track conditions aren't all that dissimilar to where I am. Keep up the great work M8 👍

[@jackdurden466]

Damn that track looks awesome! Honestly on any dirt I’d not have much knowledge on true tires performance. I’ll say this, the driver is amazing! And clearly knows that car well!

[@zackoftrades8547]

Thanks for the upload guys. Love the videos and customer service when buying products. A+ ❤️

[@The_RC_Dude]

Wow, you just weared down those long wear tires in ~8 minutes and 40 seconds as much as I weared down the stock micro pin tires on my Wltoys 144001 1/14 buggy in 9 months! Granted, I drive a LOT more conservatively and more slowly and I run in a lot better conditions, but still, wow!

[@michaelshepherd7572]

I done weared mine out!

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Yes, and the tires on a Corolla will also outlast the tires on a race car. -Brett

[@valsphone9562]

@Isaac You drive a toy, not a real race car.

[@TranceFur]

No one needs that negativity.

[@taattataattataattata]

If it’s a toy if it’s hobby grade whatever. It’s cheap fun and the 144001 still fly’s.

[@The_RC_Dude]

As an MTBer (mountain biker), and someone who's built a coupke pretty small trails, and features, I know the work that goes into dirt jumps and trails/tracks (in this case), and it KILLS me to see the RC track that dry, to the point where it's all cracked and hardened by the sun.

[@RBAERO]

Probably the pit molasses in the track for high grip. Or low watering.

[@fromthebackofmymind]

It kills me to see Hoover Dam and Lake Mead so low. And I don't even live in the affected States.

Great video thanks, I’d love to see more testing and comparison videos with everything from Shocks to Aero Mods. I love that nerd stuff :)

Great Vid ! Thanks for putting the temperature into °c as well (it helps for those on the European Continent :) :) ) Oh, great cooling system for the car by the way :) :) :)

[@BuggyBrentRC]

Awesome video ! Love videos like this . Informative information for racing 👍

[@RemedyTalon]

"nitro buggies tend to be more forgiving on tires" they also don't thermal shutdown lol

[@extec101]

it depends on wheter or not the piston unexpected got stuck in the cylinder 🤣

[@DesertLifeRC]

They sure love to flame out in high outdoor temps! Come to Las Vegas and race when it's 110*F out. It's a race of who can just finish without a breakdown! 🤣🤣

i like the Tire storage compartments, where can i get some of them? (preferable EU) I use sealable plastic bags for now, but your method seems much better! also thanks for the great comparison and eplanation when to use what tire compound.

[@wildcat650power]

After seeing what less than 10min of running does...junk. there has got to be better? No wonder a sponsor is a must have in this sport 😂

[@cbh148]

Gotta pay to play. That is, until a trend of spec tire rules takes root.

[@AMain_Hobbies]

In these dry, hot and abrasive conditions, no tire can survive, but some options are much better than others. -Brett

[@fromthebackofmymind]

Question. Since the tires are not pneumatic, is it possible to use different foam inserts to change dynamic resistance to the tread face? Your test was identical foam inserts.

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Yes, that is possible and a tuning aid some people use. -Brett

[@SshiggyY]

anyone ever tell you that you look like biff tannen from back to the future...?

[@gwcrispi]

We race on a quarter scale concrete oval in Indy. Just ordered some Raw Speed long wears for these races. Hope it works.

[@timothyhafner5442]

Excellent video ty

[@TheNamesArif]

But how long does a normal tyres last? Is it enough to last a whole race without replacing a set? Those good brand tyres are expensive here

[@jackdurden466]

Long wear aren’t nearly as sticky, and last longer due to the compound being harder. Short life will give you far better sticky and grip, yet last much shorter. I learned this on real cars the hard way. Hence why I’d drive on soft tread on my performance cars, BMWs, and an older Porsche I had way back.

[@stevenleblanc7976]

do you know when Amain will have better shipping option for canadA?

[@57F100]

Could you guys maybe make a video on how to paint an rc car body? I would find it very useful, especially if you showed how to do it without any special materials.

[@RcOffroad9513]

Nice Hero lap Brett!

[@Cheetah437]

Sir can I ask why those big brands such as arrma or traxxas don’t include lipo?

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Because LiPo's included with cars inquire a fee when shipped, and a vehicle is shipped many times; from the manufacturer to the distributor; from the distributor to the hobby shop; from the hobby shop to the customer. That is three times the shipment is charged an extra fee because of the LiPo battery. Another thing is most r/c people have their own batteries and don't want to pay extra for a car because it includes a battery they do not want. Hope that explains it. -Brett

[@Ben93SKINNER]

what are those containers he had the wheels stored in

[@AMain_Hobbies]

That's the ProTek R/C Tire Tube Bag. They're available for 1/10 and 1/8 tires; here is the 1/8 bag we used: www.amainhobbies.com/protek-rc-1-8-buggy-tire-bag-w-storage-tubes-ptk-8106/p-qqqeqsrqgzzwqctz -Brett

I have some aka super soft long wear slicks that I think work well, I’m still deciding. I think most tires struggle in 50 degree temps

Why this buggy have problem whit temperature. The racers who uses setups like this runing 10 or 15 minutes.

Everyone it talking about getting long life out of there tires but a can't seem to get one session out of tires before they blow out or rip apart

Yes I did like this type of video as well only wish to shower able to give a few other brands to try. Well lets be honest I guess there's only jconcepts and then mega corp that owns all the other ones. But I'd still like to see how they stacked up on the long wears. That kind of stuff kind of sway you when you go to spending your hard-earned money on it.

[@hinsie4268]

Sweep, RawSpeed, Lugz, James, 6mic, VP-pro, procircuit, ect. There are allot of tire brands out there besides the big three

[@jerryvolpini7987]

This video was about comparing standard compounds vs. long wear compounds. Comparing all the different brands would be cool but that can be pretty time consuming, expensive and would only apply to that track and those conditions. So, really, not that practical.

[@bluecrabnitroracing4499]

I didn't say buy every single tire and compare them I was just talking about the long wears from each brand which wouldn't be that long of a list if you thought about it and it wouldnt make 4 hours of video or cost $2 million as you're referring so it was just an idea and throwing it out there!! But I'm glad the internet police got a hold of me and let me know that I was reaching. Hahaha , just teasing. 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀
