.AJ. Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 As above, I’m a bit out of touch with the scale/crawling scene and need pointing in the right direct.... I’ve heard the Proline Hyrax is one of the better tyres around?? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 My personal favourite from ones I've actually used are Pitbull Growlers, they've pulled my SCX10 up some hellish angles, get them on the rocks and they're so good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DartmoorTrails Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Flat Iron XL with Proline dual stage foams. Absolute beast mode for where I crawl which is some rock, some loose gravel and wet English mud!Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz! Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 The hyrax are fabulous in the dry, but introduce them to moisture and they just clog up. Really disappointed by them but went with loads of recommendations from across the pond. Stock foams aren’t too bad though. now from what I know of you mate (and your builds) go for some Pitbull tires, (I know ) i have rock beasts in both sizes and are nothing but exceptional. Even with their own foams, god knows how good they would be with some crawler innovations gear in them. ive had lots of different tyres, budget to high end and thought rc4wd had the market but no that’s a big NO! Pitbull for me. saying that is it voodoo? Who do tyres too? They are supposed to be good too. just one thing though, Pitbull tyres don’t like rc4wd wheels, all the ssd ones work though gimme me a shout if you need owt else mate, and dibs on the leftovers please 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted August 29, 2018 Author Share Posted August 29, 2018 Ottsix make Voodoo’s, RC Mart do most Pit Bull tyres and CI foams, so ill go check out what they have ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Voodoos are turd though, I really had high hopes when I bought some and sold them, they're worse than the cheap £10 copies I have Check RCCrawler, the only people who rate them are people who are sponsored by 'em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wabom1981 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) My current rubber of choice is the boom racing hustlers. I’ve found them so good it feels like cheating! Used them in the damp recently too and they seem to de-clog pretty good. Out performed a friend who was running the pro-line hyrax and as @Gaz! mentioned the hyrax clogged to the point they may as well have been racing slicks. I run the 113mm version but they come smaller and larger and include 2 stage foams. Edited August 29, 2018 by Wabom1981 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 I’ve ordered the Rock Beasts i linked, im going to stick with the standard foams tho ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the stock foams aren’t too bad at all, thought about ordering the ci’s for mine, glad I held off, with the excessive weight of my trx4 they hold really well and deform just enough. again though mate, it’s all down to personal set-ups.

Jimplops Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Looking at changing my tyres, the rc4wd MTZ are good but way too soft now on my Outback, may get some two stage foams, and some flat irons to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Crawler Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 I absolutely love these...forgot where I got them from but were from China. Soft and decent foams, grips rocks and loose dirt nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Freddy Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 I thought I'd revive this thread as I'm planning to buy a set of crawler tyres and don't want to make an expensive mistake. I'm guessing things have moved on a bit in the four years since this thread was started, so come on folks... what in your opinion, is the best all round 1.9?

Fat Freddy Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 “3 years later”, 😆 Just bumping this up in the hope someone notices it. Really baffled by all the choices and don’t want to spend £40+ on rubbish tyres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone-wolf Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 I recently got a set of fake traxxas 1.9`s from ali express for about £14 posted very happy for price..............Duratrax showdowns and deep woods look smart and hearing some good on them but more cash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone-wolf Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 also depends what outer diameter you want i went for the fake trax canyon trails as they are 116mm diameter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blimey, another thing to factor into the decision. The stock wheels are 1.5’s and the stock tyres seem pretty good, as far as I can tell after 3 hours use, but are significantly smaller than the 1.9’s on my Stout. The reason for new tyres is partly for slightly extra ground clearance, so I suppose a larger diameter is what I’m after? TBH I don’t have a clue whether 116mm is big or small. I want them to look scale too, so don’t want to go for 2.2’s. Obviously need to do more research. 35 minutes ago, Jack Reacher said: I recently got a set of fake traxxas 1.9`s from ali express for about £14 posted very happy for price..............Duratrax showdowns and deep woods look smart and hearing some good on them but more cash These are going to be a birthday present to myself, so don’t mind shelling out a few quid if they are going to be good.
