good review..I got a stampede 4x4 which i converted to a truggy. I put some 2.8 talon wheels trying to figure out which tread to use and this helped a lot thanks.
The talons look like they just suck. The badlands might look good but thats honestly just because they're big heavy wheels, and while the rustler takes off quick with them, they look like they'll cause understeer on the track. I think the wheels with the best balance between grip and slip are the duratrax six packs and the speedtreads tripple threat.
@@friendlypete10 my favorite ones are still the dura trax. They are the ones that are in the car at the beginning of the video before i do any testing. they offer great traction on any surface. snow included. Videos coming soon.
@@friendlypete10 id prob go with the stock alias tires. The perform great all around. Least on pavement but still pretty. Good. I've run proline dirt works (soft and knobby) they're phenomenal for grip in the dirt. Slightly on the large size though. Way to much grip on asphalt
yes and no. when you put bigger tires on it changes the center of gravity making it higher. This makes the car easier to roll over. yes it offers good traction but the end result is more roll overs.
The video was great and I recently got some duratrax six pack mt’s for my rustler but isn’t this test kind of irrelevant if you aren’t using the whole set? Because some tires may look better than others but how will the front react when steering and taking off and etc.
for speed runs use foams. some of the fastest guys in the industry like Philip Jolly and Raz shifrin use foams on their speed run. check out raz shifrin channel he breaks down every part of a car for a speed run.
@@breadfinilini8288 yep you will. those are also really good for road courses. they provide great traction on the road. Gearing is also big thing for speed runs.
The 2wd rustler uses a different offset in the rear vs. the front. The rears have a much narrower offset because the rear hubs stick out further than the fronts. The rear offset is commonly labeled as 2WD electric rear. The front offset is commonly labeled as 2WD electric front, 4x4 front/rear, as well as 2WD nitro rear.
You may have the wrong tires for where you're running. Another thing you could do to regain some of your traction is to loosen the slipper a bit. I run the slipper in my rustler at a looser setting than stock.
Hey man, I'm wanting to move off of the stock tires for my kids 2wd Rustler to something bigger. He wants something more clearance etc for bashing. Any recommendations...and will I need to regear it? Running 2S Lipo
Any bigger tire changes the the center of gravity of the car making it easier to roll. You can cange the height of the car by making adjustments to the location of your screws along the suspension arms. If you do decide to change the tires to the pro line badlands for example you will get more height and you should lower the gearing so you dont burn up your motor. on my rustler i run the duratrax six pack and i love the performance i get out of them. hope this helps and happy bashing.
make sure ant check out the new bashing video and thanks for watching.
I'm glad I bought Proline Trencher tires. This video helped reaffirm that Proline makes good tires
Can definitely see the grip on the badlands vs everything else
I'm running the narrow badlands on the front and superswampers on the back and they hook up great for sure.

I have talons coming in today and later on imma buy some badlands, badlands rear and talons front, I think that’ll be a great combo
the alias is a great all around tire, can handle rocks, dirt, gravel, and smooth pavement.
I agree, but they wear out fast on concrete
Awesome video man, great comparison between the tires 👍😁
Hey thanks bro. It was a interesting outcome.

Nice video, what tires do you have in the front?
Sweet runs bro!
thanks man i appreciate you watching 💚
i like using pro line gladiators they have some very hood grip
I have just purchased a pair of talons for the rear of my rustler after the originals have worn out, kinda regretting that now
yep unfortunately talons are my least favorite tires. they don't offer very good grip.
@@wlatproductions8839 order canceled! What would you recommend for mixed surfaces including asphalt , dirt and grass?

@@wlatproductions8839 thanks, i've just ordered a set

Should've done the test with each on all 4 sides otherwise it's just showing trackion not the real handing of them all around!
Do you think it would handle better if also put them on the front of the rustler. I know it’s a 2wd, it would look badass. Great video.
yes and no. when you put bigger tires on it changes the center of gravity making it higher. This makes the car easier to roll over. yes it offers good traction but the end result is more roll overs.
Dude, you never did the 5pack tires on the turning test lol. Or I missed it. Tried to scroll through and didnt see it
Great vid, just wondering would the badlands mx28 tires perform fine on a rustler xl5?
yeah. i have seen people run them and get great performance.
Thanks heaps

Too many questions get a grip my friend.
we gota hang out I live on the north side
What tires would u suggest for both road and off road stock tires wore out quick on road, now I have a pair of condas but not so good in grass offroad
The proline trencher is a decent all around choice. For 1/10th scale use they're available in a 2.2" size and they also have 2 different 2.8" sizes.
What tires for speed run im at 58mph with speedthread breakaway

Right on just got bandito 2.2 lowered rustler got weight 31/76 3s 11.1v i should hit more then 58mph
@@breadfinilini8288 yep you will. those are also really good for road courses. they provide great traction on the road. Gearing is also big thing for speed runs.
I ordered a set of the six packs for my rustler but got the wrong ones 😫
I’m guessing 2.8 is correct but I’m not sure about offset, can you help?
The 2wd rustler uses a different offset in the rear vs. the front. The rears have a much narrower offset because the rear hubs stick out further than the fronts.
The rear offset is commonly labeled as 2WD electric rear.
The front offset is commonly labeled as 2WD electric front, 4x4 front/rear, as well as 2WD nitro rear.
Nice.
Now 4x4 version please.
Hey can you tell me why my rustler keeps spinning out amd im only hitting like 15% throttle smh
You may have the wrong tires for where you're running. Another thing you could do to regain some of your traction is to loosen the slipper a bit. I run the slipper in my rustler at a looser setting than stock.
@@markoftheus I fixed the problem mines is going 50mph at 2.8 seconds in 132ft now
Should I change the gearing for bigger tires
I would recommend that, especially in the summer time.
Badlands

also check out my video traxxas rustler at the bmx park. in that video I'm running the dura trax six pack tires.
Is that Hank Perry Park in Spokane valley Washington?
It is for sure. I've been out there several times with my kids. Made me an automatic subscriber, lol.
yep I thought so too
I have been there a lot
