Great Video, because of what was not in it. No 5 minute selfie intro, No continous empty words, just a factual and demonstrable comparison. Excellent Video, and i am in South China with nothing else to do on a quiet evening.
Badass ramp test! Make those out of a multitude of composites and u have quite the arena all on its own! So far I've only had the Gmade Komodo tires that come with it, and as long as u don't chew em up rudely, they do rather well but I'm rather impressed by your options 👏
the info you give make me happy, why i buy the gen 7 yesterday and the result you show impresme to much and my gen 7 will be in stock tire for ever, thanks a lots really helpful info, you save me money
These 1/10th cars still apply the principles of offroading. 1/10th scale tire rpm and grip principles. Lowering the voltage down equivalent to a doublers low range, will drastically reduce the wheelspin, and enhance the traction. The truck with the slowest roll on any of those tires that grip even a little, will creep right up to the top the slower you go. Wayyyy too much wheel spin on the first two tires. However, I imagine, its hard to get motor rpms that slow with the trigger setup. So it is what it is.
Best test of tires I've ever seen. You need to do more testing of other r/c parts. Great video! I was placing bets at the beginning to see which tire would win. I lost.
LoL I lost my own bet too. Take a look at my other videos on the channel. I’ve tested a lot of stuff including servos and lipos along with other tires and some new products too.
great video, at first I thought the ramp was a bit optimistic in the angle/surface texture and thought all the tires would perform poorly. Happily surprised, lol.
I had a gen 7 but upgraded to a sport and I actually used the redcat tires today on a crawl and I ain't gunna lie..... It really impressed me and another friend as well. Gun a run them some more to test the waters
I like the cheaper wheels as well both 2.2 & 1.9 odd though, i have never heard of most thise tires, i run Proline, PitBulls , Rovers etc going on smoth wood good test but, i was introduced to the hobby with a 10th scale Axial Scorpion with 2.2, i don't get much into scale, i have a Rubicon lifted, but I run competition rigs
The Gen 7 tire was the only one that caused a backflip. It was CG limited, not grip limited. To really call a winner I would need to see how the Redcat tires do with the same weighted wheels and foams. Weight and foams make a massive difference when grip is not the limiting factor.
Yeah I’ve been posting I want stock ones for $20 shipped. LoL I’d like to see what they would do in nice wheels with good foams. They’d be right there with the Gold KLR’s I’m sure.
lol, yeah on most comp courses you do find wood obstacles, this was a was to get some form of consistency for the test. I have quite a few other tire tests with rocks and dirt if you want to see them.
Well I have more coming up with the Proline Hyrax, Pitbull Rockbeast, KLR (same ones you see here) and the Duratrax Deepwoods. I can tell you this, either the Hyrax or the KLR’s are the way to go, the KLR’s don’t come with foams so they are more expensive.
never in a million years would i have thought that was possible traxxas just knows how to make a good looking tire, making it have traction also is just too hard for them!! i would think that weight is only and advantage @ less then 45 degrees, @ 60 degrees the weight is probably more a disadvantage then advantage because of gravity
I actually really like the Redcat Iroks. They're officially licensed, aggressive tread, come in 1.9 and 2.2, and they seem to grip amazing. At least on my Gen8.
That was an awesome test. I also was impressed with the performance of the stock tires I bet you that with aluminum wheels they will perform as good as the Klrs. Great job great video
Are any of the wheels and tires that performed worse than the stock redcat wheels and tires vented? I've heard tires and wheels not being vented prevents some from performing as well as vented wheels and tires. I'd like to know before I started cutting holes in tires though.
I agree with you, its amazing this video has so many views so I am putting together a new one using new Pitbull Rockbeast XL's, new Proline Hyrax, new Duratrax Deepwoods and using the KLR Golds you see in this video, all using the same wheel and using the foams that came with the tires so stay tuned for those as they are coming up soon.
You’re welcome, what’s neat is I go into these tests with my own expectations and so far I haven’t been right once as to what wins. Got a motor test coming up tomorrow with the Gen7, the results for that one are very clear.
If I can find a suitable spot to get a controlled test on rocks and other surfaces I will. I tried on a rock pile and the darn truck went right up every line I could find that didn’t have axle grabbers, can’t test like that when everything goes right up.
NICE TEST VIDEO !!!!... i actually just got some OTTSIX KLR SILVERS for my buggy there sweet awesome traction , and for the price of 25$ i wasnt complaining
Great test. Try a set of duratrax deep woods c3. I have never tested them on a piece of plywood like your test but they are typically what I run and in most all conditions they have outperformed all the other tires I've tried up to this point
Which rock is wood? My bro run the TRX4 Bronco and sport on his stock tires and foams on wet sharp rocks with very good climbing results i have a hard day to follow him with my SCX 10 ll (Free Men)on my Louise rowdy tires on aluminium Austar wheels.You can watch the video on my channel.
I'm looking for a good overall tire to mount on the 1.9beadlocks for my trx6... I'm very happy with the stock tires durability and performance, little bit of wear and have over 20 hours on them. Any suggestion?
Couple questions for ya. Forgive me if some of them seem ignorant, I'm relatively new to the crawler scene. 1, Is there any particular reason you didn't try out the popular Pro-line Hyrax? 2, Why was your FR tire lifting from the surface and can that be fixed or is it just a geometry issue with the Redcat? 3, How big a difference would it make strictly in this test using a 1.95 vs 2.2s?
About the Red Cat car, is it a good crawler? - its pretty cheap compared to the Traxxas and Axials - we do have a seller for the brand now - its a brand we never heard of before here in the northern countries, (Northern Scandinavia) greets Levi
These tires are what I use in comps. That’s why some are foamed differently. I’m editing together a new test using new tires and that should be up in a week or so. Using Hyrax, Rockbeast, Deepwoods and the KLR’s from this test.
I like my redcat Everest. The only thing is it doesn't turn very sharp at all. Everything stock, it out climbs all of my trucks. Two screws on front of axle hit the turnbuckle and will only allow about 30° of turning.
You of all people know that each and every tire are good for certain situations and terrains. This is just a wood test.... for instance my box stock traxxas tire out performs my high dollar ottsix and proline tires on the trails and rocks.... hard to explain. The swampers definitely have their place in the crawling world as all of them do. Good video overall
LoL I know! They were actually the 3rd test and I was surprised, they were the only ones to get grip enough to flip it backwards. It’s possible since they were stock weight, they didn’t have enough to hold the front down.
Good job., wood is very different than rock or stone. I think if done wet the outcome could be way off. I’ve had cheap Chinese knock off climb wood better than top brand.., till there a surface with actual grit...
Great Test! Just got the pro Redcat and have upgraded to aluminum wheels. Thanks to your test I'll stick with stock tires, and the pro has the memory foam. I live in Eastern Carolina so like you not a lot of natural Rock and Hill
I've seen a few posts about the memory foam hardening up in cold temps. I for one am not a fan of memory foams, I want the tires to absorb and rebound quickly, the best foams are Crawler Innovations Lil Nova. I compete with them and win a lot.
Spot on re: foams...just found that out after trying to run in 40 degrees. Ordered some open cell foam for winter running. I'm new to the crawler scene so lots to learn from guys like you.
I didn’t notice any heat on any of the tires but with the spinning that’s going on it wouldn’t surprise me if a little bit was made at the tread surface on these climbs.
Who do you order those Chinese wheels from? Any particular place? I was amazed at how well the Redcat tires hooked up on the plywood, then the KLR Gold were even better. Very impressed. Not too surprised at how bad the Traxxas tires did. I have owned several Traxxas rigs, and the tires were the first to go. The swampers are more designed for mud, not so much for smooth surfaces, so to be fair, do a test with them on a muddy surface, and other types of surfaces to see how each of them do on them. You will be surprised at how well they do.
Low budget there are several trucks, for speed and more bashing look at a Traxxas Stampede or Rustler, for a scaler like you see in this video get the Redcat Everest Gen7 Sport, in fact thats whats I'm using in this video.
I apperciate your test tiers! I buy to many tiers and some do better other bad. I been just starting to use (12mm hex hub Inflatable 2.2 Inch Beadlock Tire Wheel For Rock Crawler Truck) they are okay except a bad rubber vaules for use. I do like them so far! Thanks!
Exocaged RC were do you get the ott six klr gold compound voodoo foam alum rim wheels would love to get them for my traxxas trx 4 Mercedes g500 crawler
Nice test!... I think the redcat tires may not work good when they get wet it felt like that to me but I am not sure...maybe wet tires and wet wood climb test =)
funny thing happen to me the other day when I was out playing with my Redcat gen 7 pro. Me and my brother went out to this lake the had lowered the water 5ft. we were in our kayaks and the Redcat pro in a blowup boat being pulled by the kayak. well on our way back the wind started to pick up and low and behold the blowup boat flipped over with the Redcat in it. yep there I was watching my almost $300 rock crawler sinking to the bottom of the lake (which is 100ft deep). I have never felt so helpless in my life. The wind was 25mhp and the water is like 40 degrees. The lesson I learned in this was didn't get to attached to things. so i now i no rock crawler.
I was on a floating house in the Amazon (on a "lake(like water)" called Lago Catalao, that is connecting Rio Negro and Rio Solimoes/Amazonas), battery got low (they fail soon after some times in the tropics), sitting on a stage of the floating house aside the water, my Blade Chroma coming back... and about 2 or 3 m from me battery got down fully and it sank. I put rx aside rapidly, and jumped into the water and could catch it in about 2 m depth :) - after drying everything worked fine again (maybe not the battery).
Great comparison test! Begs the question why pay such top dollar for TRX and other manufacturers when Red cat stuff is just as good and better! AND your test of the red cat tire was not even fair lol! Maybe you can take the two winners and try them put with same foam / wheel instead of plastic vs metal.... the weight diff may be the only thing preventing red cat from taking the win?
That's great if you're climbing smooth board surfaces...a non agressive type tire like a racing slick would do better. Do a actual rock climb with them though. I'm willing to bet the most agressive lug tire will dominate in real world situations.
Great Video, because of what was not in it. No 5 minute selfie intro, No continous empty words, just a factual and demonstrable comparison. Excellent Video, and i am in South China with nothing else to do on a quiet evening.
lol thanks, I have a lot more tire test and other videos on the way so stay tuned.
Thanks for telling us when the video starts. That was pretty conscientious.
Very interesting test. I can't believe how well the stock redcat tires performed.
Great video watched to the end 😊 did not think any would do it after the first few, epic 👍🤘
I love the sound of the second to the last set, they even sounded real, chirp,chirp,chirp,chirp,chirp, lol soo cool, great video
Yeah they sure do
Jon H i shit myself
Haven't ever owned a proper RC anything but still fun to see that little crawler at the edge of traction.
That is a Redcat Everest 10 Gen7 scaler. They are only about $200 RTR. It’s a low cost way into the scaler world of RC’s
Badass ramp test! Make those out of a multitude of composites and u have quite the arena all on its own! So far I've only had the Gmade Komodo tires that come with it, and as long as u don't chew em up rudely, they do rather well but I'm rather impressed by your options 👏
the info you give make me happy, why i buy the gen 7 yesterday and the result you show impresme to much and my gen 7 will be in stock tire for ever, thanks a lots really helpful info, you save me money
These 1/10th cars still apply the principles of offroading. 1/10th scale tire rpm and grip principles. Lowering the voltage down equivalent to a doublers low range, will drastically reduce the wheelspin, and enhance the traction. The truck with the slowest roll on any of those tires that grip even a little, will creep right up to the top the slower you go. Wayyyy too much wheel spin on the first two tires. However, I imagine, its hard to get motor rpms that slow with the trigger setup. So it is what it is.
Awesome idea limiting the throttle so many reviewers just give it more juice for the tires they like. Awesome comparison.
Excellent test. Had me glued to the screen from start to stop.
Thank you. I’ll have a wet ramp test up tomorrow or Thursday.
Quadcopter 101 ?
Yep, that's me.

I have no idea why but that was very addictive to watch....beautiful looking truck.......
Best test of tires I've ever seen. You need to do more testing of other r/c parts. Great video! I was placing bets at the beginning to see which tire would win. I lost.
LoL I lost my own bet too. Take a look at my other videos on the channel. I’ve tested a lot of stuff including servos and lipos along with other tires and some new products too.
Exocaged RC I will definitely check those out
I can't believe how well those stock gen 7 tires hooked up!!! And then those poor trx 4 tires didn't hardly make it to the tape 😂😂😂
LoL no they didn’t. Pretty bad, heck the proline swampers barely got off the base board!
Do we know if the gen 8 tires are the same as these gen 7s? I'm looking into both but if the stock 7 tires are better I'll likely go with that.
great video, at first I thought the ramp was a bit optimistic in the angle/surface texture and thought all the tires would perform poorly. Happily surprised, lol.
Awesome video brother , I like the stock rubber that came with my Gen 7, not to shabby I'd say for a stock tire 👍
The stock Gen7 tires are really awesome.
Cool video, awesome to see the stock Gen7 wheels and tires do so well.
They are an awesome tire for sure
I'm loving the china wheels I can't stop buying them! lol
Yeah I’ve never had a cheap metal wheel fail.
same, only got 1 chassis and 6 sets of wheels.

See if they can send you a Danchee Ridgerock! I'm curious what you would break/upgrade first :D
Wow. Very educational and surprising. Thanks
That was super impressive. Thanks for sharing!
I still love the Swamper tires! Even though they failed miserably in this test...
I’ve won a lot of comps with them but things change and compounds get better, plus I like the KLR tires.
Dude pretty impressive what the difference in tire is. Those Redcat tires sound like actual full scale tires barking.
yep they sure do and still work great
Sweet video, never thought the truck would get past halfway or so. Earned my sub...

No bullshit simple grip test, timestamp for the action, valued youtuber ! Thumbs up
Excellent comparison vid!.. could only be improved by same wheels/ weights... Those stock cheapo wheels were the biggest winner I'd say..
Yeah I agree. Maybe one day I can do a test like you describe.
I had a gen 7 but upgraded to a sport and I actually used the redcat tires today on a crawl and I ain't gunna lie..... It really impressed me and another friend as well. Gun a run them some more to test the waters
yeah they are really good tires
I like the cheaper wheels as well both 2.2 & 1.9 odd though, i have never heard of most thise tires, i run Proline, PitBulls , Rovers etc going on smoth wood good test but, i was introduced to the hobby with a 10th scale Axial Scorpion with 2.2, i don't get much into scale, i have a Rubicon lifted, but I run competition rigs
Good vid dude 👍 would like to see you do the same test using the trx 4 😃
With the added weight it may change results but I’m not sure by how much.
The Gen 7 tire was the only one that caused a backflip. It was CG limited, not grip limited. To really call a winner I would need to see how the Redcat tires do with the same weighted wheels and foams. Weight and foams make a massive difference when grip is not the limiting factor.
Liked the test! I have to say i was really impressed with the gen7 stock tires.
Yeah I’ve been posting I want stock ones for $20 shipped. LoL I’d like to see what they would do in nice wheels with good foams. They’d be right there with the Gold KLR’s I’m sure.
Sweet comparison very good job I didn't have that much luck with my stock tires on the plywood challenge
I was surprised at how well the Gen7 tires did.

I have a hard time finding plywood rocks in my local hills. I usually find granite rocks. Hehe😈
lol, yeah on most comp courses you do find wood obstacles, this was a was to get some form of consistency for the test. I have quite a few other tire tests with rocks and dirt if you want to see them.
Great video, wet comparison would be interesting please
Yeah that’s on the schedule for this weekend. I’ll probably drop the 60 degrees down to about 45 as I doubt any will make the top.
Thanks for your test. I finally got a conclusion what I need to buy.
Well I have more coming up with the Proline Hyrax, Pitbull Rockbeast, KLR (same ones you see here) and the Duratrax Deepwoods. I can tell you this, either the Hyrax or the KLR’s are the way to go, the KLR’s don’t come with foams so they are more expensive.
Thanks. I look forward to watching your next video.
Wow, great info. How about a link to those winners. I just bought an Everest Pro myself. I can't find exact tires online though ?
Great video👍 really shows tires do matter! I wonder how my tires would do 🤔
wow love the tier test great video
Enjoyed the video - well made very informative.
Great vid brother, big thumbs up 👍👍👍👍👍
excellent true test tire review thanks
Great video!
You change anything on this from out of the box like suspension or add weight anywhere?
no added weight, stock suspension
never in a million years would i have thought that was possible
traxxas just knows how to make a good looking tire, making it have traction also is just too hard for them!!
i would think that weight is only and advantage @ less then 45 degrees, @ 60 degrees the weight is probably more a disadvantage then advantage because of gravity
I actually really like the Redcat Iroks. They're officially licensed, aggressive tread, come in 1.9 and 2.2, and they seem to grip amazing. At least on my Gen8.
That was an awesome test. I also was impressed with the performance of the stock tires I bet you that with aluminum wheels they will perform as good as the Klrs. Great job great video
Thank you, I have tires and wheels ordered for another set of tests so stay tuned.
Impressive rig
Good test vid..very interesting .....thanks...
Excellent review my friend!
Wow what a video.. those redcats rock
Are any of the wheels and tires that performed worse than the stock redcat wheels and tires vented? I've heard tires and wheels not being vented prevents some from performing as well as vented wheels and tires. I'd like to know before I started cutting holes in tires though.
unless you're running the same exact wheel and tire diameter for all how can this be a true test of performance?
I agree with you, its amazing this video has so many views so I am putting together a new one using new Pitbull Rockbeast XL's, new Proline Hyrax, new Duratrax Deepwoods and using the KLR Golds you see in this video, all using the same wheel and using the foams that came with the tires so stay tuned for those as they are coming up soon.
Cool,I look forward to seeing it,thanks for doing these tests,thanks!
You’re welcome, what’s neat is I go into these tests with my own expectations and so far I haven’t been right once as to what wins. Got a motor test coming up tomorrow with the Gen7, the results for that one are very clear.
Interesting... For my valuation tires
Killer video man i love watching these type of testing videos
If I can find a suitable spot to get a controlled test on rocks and other surfaces I will. I tried on a rock pile and the darn truck went right up every line I could find that didn’t have axle grabbers, can’t test like that when everything goes right up.
NICE TEST VIDEO !!!!... i actually just got some OTTSIX KLR SILVERS for my buggy there sweet awesome traction , and for the price of 25$ i wasnt complaining
I love my KLR tires, I’ve won a bunch of comps with them.
That's pretty amazing. Now only if my real truck had that kind of traction.
I would like to see drag slash rear tires do the wood ramp climb
Nice job man 👍🏻👍🏻 Very informative.
Great test. Try a set of duratrax deep woods c3. I have never tested them on a piece of plywood like your test but they are typically what I run and in most all conditions they have outperformed all the other tires I've tried up to this point
I have tested them. look at my other videos as they are in 3 tire test videos. They doo good but the stock foams are horribly too soft
Which rock is wood? My bro run the TRX4 Bronco and sport on his stock tires and foams on wet sharp rocks with very good climbing results i have a hard day to follow him with my SCX 10 ll (Free Men)on my Louise rowdy tires on aluminium Austar wheels.You can watch the video on my channel.
On every course I’ve ever run on there are wooden built obstacles.
I'm looking for a good overall tire to mount on the 1.9beadlocks for my trx6... I'm very happy with the stock tires durability and performance, little bit of wear and have over 20 hours on them. Any suggestion?
Couple questions for ya. Forgive me if some of them seem ignorant, I'm relatively new to the crawler scene. 1, Is there any particular reason you didn't try out the popular Pro-line Hyrax? 2, Why was your FR tire lifting from the surface and can that be fixed or is it just a geometry issue with the Redcat? 3, How big a difference would it make strictly in this test using a 1.95 vs 2.2s?
Awesome video and test!
I’m about to get the gen 7 pro, how long does the battery last? From your experience
Really a great video mate keep it up , subbed .
Those red cats are pretty impressive. Does anyone know the diameter of those tires?
not really sure what the specs are but on the table they are just as tall as the KLR tires and they say they are 4.75"
About the Red Cat car, is it a good crawler? - its pretty cheap compared to the Traxxas and Axials - we do have a seller for the brand now - its a brand we never heard of before here in the northern countries, (Northern Scandinavia) greets Levi
It’s a decent beginners truck that can be built up very well.
@@ExocagedRC thanks!
Great video, makes me want to mod my crawler and get some steep angle climbs
I didn't think anything would be better than the gen7
Those stock tires did great
Are these tires all from the bags, or have they all been run on different terrains ?
These tires are what I use in comps. That’s why some are foamed differently. I’m editing together a new test using new tires and that should be up in a week or so. Using Hyrax, Rockbeast, Deepwoods and the KLR’s from this test.
Exocaged RC, alright, you have my attention!!! ;)
What wheelbase is that set to? 12.6”? I would imagine the 12.3” would flip too easily.
I like my redcat Everest. The only thing is it doesn't turn very sharp at all. Everything stock, it out climbs all of my trucks. Two screws on front of axle hit the turnbuckle and will only allow about 30° of turning.
you can trim the steering limits on the knuckles to get more steering.
Exocaged RC thanks. I'll try that. If I can get it to turn better, I'll get another one.
You of all people know that each and every tire are good for certain situations and terrains. This is just a wood test.... for instance my box stock traxxas tire out performs my high dollar ottsix and proline tires on the trails and rocks.... hard to explain. The swampers definitely have their place in the crawling world as all of them do. Good video overall
J Ho I can’t imagine stock traxxas tires outperforming the KLR tires. The swampers were useless on this test but run great out in the real world.
If the truck had a little more weight in the front, with stock rcr tires, it probably would have made it.. Awesome, made my decision
Edge of my seat while you were running the stock RedCats..!
Hahahhahhahaahahaha
The wheels on the winning klr tires are they the cheap Amazon ones? How well do they do holding a bead?
Yep and so far I’ve had no issues at all with them. Beads hold great.
me gusto mucho el video..desde colombia
I call shenanigans on the stock tires... Lol.
WOW, wasn't expecting that !!
LoL I know! They were actually the 3rd test and I was surprised, they were the only ones to get grip enough to flip it backwards. It’s possible since they were stock weight, they didn’t have enough to hold the front down.
I like how the one tire made the low pitch when trying to grip.
I have some China tires on my CC01 that bark like real tires every time they spin on stuff, especially wood.
I like it. Adds a sense of realness to it. Lol.
Yes it sure does
Good job., wood is very different than rock or stone. I think if done wet the outcome could be way off.
I’ve had cheap Chinese knock off climb wood better than top brand.., till there a surface with actual grit...
I agree. Those swampers were horrible on this test but run great out on the trail or a course
Great Test! Just got the pro Redcat and have upgraded to aluminum wheels. Thanks to your test I'll stick with stock tires, and the pro has the memory foam. I live in Eastern Carolina so like you not a lot of natural Rock and Hill
I've seen a few posts about the memory foam hardening up in cold temps. I for one am not a fan of memory foams, I want the tires to absorb and rebound quickly, the best foams are Crawler Innovations Lil Nova. I compete with them and win a lot.
Spot on re: foams...just found that out after trying to run in 40 degrees. Ordered some open cell foam for winter running. I'm new to the crawler scene so lots to learn from guys like you.
Is there a friction to heat to loss of traction dynamic influencing this?
I didn’t notice any heat on any of the tires but with the spinning that’s going on it wouldn’t surprise me if a little bit was made at the tread surface on these climbs.
Great tyre test man
Thank you. I have more tire tests on the way I’m just waiting for them all to arrive.
Who do you order those Chinese wheels from? Any particular place?
I was amazed at how well the Redcat tires hooked up on the plywood, then the KLR Gold were even better. Very impressed. Not too surprised at how bad the Traxxas tires did. I have owned several Traxxas rigs, and the tires were the first to go.
The swampers are more designed for mud, not so much for smooth surfaces, so to be fair, do a test with them on a muddy surface, and other types of surfaces to see how each of them do on them. You will be surprised at how well they do.
for sure I've been running the swampers for years and they work great, just not on wood. I want to do mud and sand soon. I get my wheels from ebay.
can you recommend a good rc car - low budget for a beginner - i'm in hamburg germany -roads=wet=grass=little rough
Low budget there are several trucks, for speed and more bashing look at a Traxxas Stampede or Rustler, for a scaler like you see in this video get the Redcat Everest Gen7 Sport, in fact thats whats I'm using in this video.
Maybe build a slippery rock "ramp" (most difficult surface i can think about), because i want to watch how the different tires compare.
I have tires tests on rocks already
I apperciate your test tiers! I buy to many tiers and some do better other bad. I been just starting to use (12mm hex hub Inflatable 2.2 Inch Beadlock Tire Wheel For Rock Crawler Truck) they are okay except a bad rubber vaules for use. I do like them so far! Thanks!
You should get a traxxas defender and see how one of those do. I just got one a few days ago and I'm pretty impressed
Yeah I have had once since they first came out. It has a red and white bronco body. Look through my other videos as I have a bunch of that truck.
Hey I’m new to this hobby was wondering How well does it crawl with 2.2s?
So long as you set it up right it does fine.
Exocaged RC were do you get the ott six klr gold compound voodoo foam alum rim wheels would love to get them for my traxxas trx 4 Mercedes g500 crawler
I got them from Ottsix.com
Nice test!... I think the redcat tires may not work good when they get wet it felt like that to me but I am not sure...maybe wet tires and wet wood climb test =)
That’s a thought. I could set up a mist or something so it’s consistent. Hmmm maybe over the holidays who knows.
funny thing happen to me the other day when I was out playing with my Redcat gen 7 pro. Me and my brother went out to this lake the had lowered the water 5ft. we were in our kayaks and the Redcat pro in a blowup boat being pulled by the kayak. well on our way back the wind started to pick up and low and behold the blowup boat flipped over with the Redcat in it. yep there I was watching my almost $300 rock crawler sinking to the bottom of the lake (which is 100ft deep). I have never felt so helpless in my life. The wind was 25mhp and the water is like 40 degrees. The lesson I learned in this was didn't get to attached to things. so i now i no rock crawler.
I was on a floating house in the Amazon (on a "lake(like water)" called Lago Catalao, that is connecting Rio Negro and Rio Solimoes/Amazonas), battery got low (they fail soon after some times in the tropics), sitting on a stage of the floating house aside the water, my Blade Chroma coming back... and about 2 or 3 m from me battery got down fully and it sank. I put rx aside rapidly, and jumped into the water and could catch it in about 2 m depth :) - after drying everything worked fine again (maybe not the battery).
Where at on Florida? I just moved here from WV and having a hard time finding anywhere to rc. crawler/ trail truck.
I’m in and around Jacksonville, so north east Florida.
Exocaged RC do you know where green cove Springs is? I just ordered a gen 7 sport and would be interested in comparing and learning how to use it.
I'm the oppisite I just moved from Florida to WV
Great comparison test! Begs the question why pay such top dollar for TRX and other manufacturers when Red cat stuff is just as good and better! AND your test of the red cat tire was not even fair lol! Maybe you can take the two winners and try them put with same foam / wheel instead of plastic vs metal.... the weight diff may be the only thing preventing red cat from taking the win?
I have 2 new sets of the redcat tires so I may try that. Supposed to be getting a new set of KLR tires too. The newest ones.
Asian wheels all the way !!! Great stuff and GREAT PRICES! I’m with you 100%
I’ve never had a cheap wheel fail.
Keep the good work with that
That's great if you're climbing smooth board surfaces...a non agressive type tire like a racing slick would do better. Do a actual rock climb with them though. I'm willing to bet the most agressive lug tire will dominate in real world situations.
I have done tire testing on rocks. Look at my other tire testing videos as I have quite a lot of them.
Wow this video is full of information!
how tall are those redact stock tires man? In milimeters? Thank you
according to my calipers they measure out to 117mm, which is the same as the KLR tires
Another victory for Redcat..... Look out Traxxas!
Dude in stock form Gen7 vs TRX, my money would be on the Gen7. I love my Traxxas but this Gen7 is no joke.
I have a gen7pro and a axial scx10 II , I'm telling ya the gen7 keeps right up with it, redcats come a long way cant wait to see their gen8
What tire was that at the 10 min mark? I want those!!!! Thanks
