removable hex is the smartest innovation in RC in YEARS! no more replacing wheels and tires when hexes round out, just replace the hex, belted tires, no more ballooning? sign me up baby!
I bought a set of these this summer for my trusty old 2wd Stampede that had been converted to VXL Spec years ago to replace my non belted Trenchers on the Desperado wheels, that I belted with tape years ago, they were worth every penny so far!
I've just been turning my tires inside out, and running a strip of duct tape before glueing for years. It's been way cheaper, and I can use almost any tire.
Baja Rey looks killer. I think trimming and getting at least the good mounted back on less the front quarters would look killer as a permanent body mod.
At 5:55 Trenchers in a trench. These Pro-Line tires look fantastic. The technology just keeps getting better and better. Excellent presentation as always Brett. Sprinkling in silliness is genius but, unlike you Brett, I try to play with the truck like that when no one is looking. Table bongo on brother!
Also, all wheel manufactures should go to removable hexes. I'm having aluminum Axial hexes starting to round on me in G.made metal wheels. But then again, none of companies would stanadadize and only make hexes for their wheels.
These companies need to make and market line of toys to kids, then it would be cheaper all around to manufacture. Problem is the "hobbyist" won't admit these are all toys.
Just installed a set on my Associated MT10. Too dark outside now, but I'm looking forward to giving 'em a first time bashing tomorrow in our works car parks. On e is just like that dirt road you used, hard packed but with large size gravel chunks.
@@kevininwards5787 The tires are brilliant, no ballooning at all! Heh, no prob with the drive shafts either, but I did snap one outer metal axle, right behind the wheel, when I did multiple cartwheels at about 35/40mph. Ahem, my bad driving!
Might need to get this technology into every thing so things are more stable to drive at speed and maybe a stickier rubber on the tread for even more grip option for racing too
The sad part is this isn't new technology, radial tires were patented back in 1914 and had become standard on cars by the 1970's. So it's kind of sad that the issue has taken nearly 30 years to get fixed in RC cars is sad. I mean even my Nikon R/C car from the late 80's had tire ballooning issues and it wasn't nearly as good as most hobby cars and trucks.
I normally glue a hex back into it and get a little more use but I have thrown them out before. Also u can drill holes and slide a axle pin in there so the glued hex bites a little better on the rim
I've been looking for a racer option to my Gen 8 Axe crawler, and was wanting a Lasernut until I kept seeing nothing but drive train issues. Now I think i am back to a Baja Rey and some belted tires after watching this video. Now the hard part King Shock, Black Rhino, or use my current radio and get the Desert kit, decisions decisions.
Oh yeah but mainly for off-road. These Badlands are a great moto style tire: www.amainhobbies.com/proline-badlands-mx28-2.8-premounted-tires-w-raid-6x30-wheels-2-m2-pro10125-10/p985706?v=873803 These are also Badlands but on a Short Course 'narrow' style wheel: www.amainhobbies.com/proline-badlands-2.8-premounted-w-raid-electric-rear-wheels-black-2-m2-pro1173-10/p982472?v=969879 These are cool, they're like a Monster Truck tread design: www.amainhobbies.com/proline-demolisher-2.8-premounted-tires-w-raid-6x30-wheels-2-black-pro10196-10/p1362318 Let me know what you think! -Brett
Others have had belted tires in the past but this is a first for Pro-Line to my knowledge. Pro-Line just announced 3.8" Belted tires as well, to be released soon. -Brett
Thought I would be more impressed than I was with these tyres, seem to lose a lot at to end. Expanding tyres do add speed like a second gear , but chuck rubber off for fun . Something with a stretch belt may be good idea or not Forgot to say liked vidio a lot
Sir you did gave me more reason to buy the losi baja rey. This is a great vid i like how it looks on the baja rey. Do you think the stock servo can handle this big tires?
Brett, I’m new to all this, but I just got a Rustler 2wd and want to know if these will work? Sounds like they will, really wanting some beefier tires and rims. Are there any others that would work any better? Great vids!
These would fit but they are heavy! You may need to gear down to prevent motor overheating. The HP's are also belted, so they remain flat and sometimes feel edgy because they do not contour to the road surface. These moto style tires are not belted: www.amainhobbies.com/proline-badlands-mx28-2.8-premounted-tires-w-raid-6x30-wheels-2-m2-pro10125-10/p985706?v=873803 -Brett
Hi, want to place my order for those belted ones for my Losi Tenacity DB Pro Lukas Oil. Can you please help and let me know all part numbers needed as I don’t want to make a mistake of what all is needed. Thanks a lot.....
Sorry, I misunderstood you. For your vehicle, you would only need the tires; the hex hub adapters are included. Although, we haven't tested these tires on your vehicle, so we are not 100% sure they will fit properly without rubbing (i think they will fit though). The tires come in a pack of two, so you will need two packages. Here they are: www.amainhobbies.com/proline-trencher-hp-belted-2.8-premounted-truck-tires-m2-2-black-pro10168-10/p983667 -Brett
Well it's about damn time!! Wow a belted tire....hmmm what do full size vehicles have?? lol Sooooo by Christmas we should see tires that are scale to stadium trucks without cutting off the body panels???? HO ho.. Great info, and I think I'll wait for the stadium tires to come out.
Yeah, and most come with the inner wheel ventilated, but that often does more harm than good as it sucks in debris. Best method is to punch hole on outside of tire rubber. -Brett
Hahahaha !! Great vid Brett 😁 I noticed the Kraton didn’t wheelie with the belted tires 😳 😫 We need some ballooning for air control and insane out of control action 😝 Proline seem to be 100% pizza cutters to 0% bouncers Mmmmmm rip a Backflip off the rim and see how the masters do it Proline 😜👍🏼🤙🏼😊 Anyway that’s my 2cents lol !!!! Thanks Brett always enjoy 😉
The only sucky part is it’s $47 for only 2 aluminum hub replacements! For the total cost you could buy new tires! Hope a cheaper after market version happen.
Would be nice to see a belted scale tire but I guess like most things, we make it ourselves then proline Jack's the idea and produces it. So I expect to see belted bfg baja tires.
Hey Dennis. It would probably compromise the tire, but we're not 100% on this, so we sent Pro-Line a message to ask. We'll shoot you a reply when we hear back. -Brett
No, I don't think they'll fit. The UDR uses a specific wheel with a 17mm hex, but with a smaller than normal axle hole. These RAID wheels with a 17mm hex have a normal (large) axle hole. So if you put these on the UDR, the 5mm wheel nut would not secure the wheel. -Brett
Wouldn't be shocked if they did. I'm thinking about these for my 2wd Stampede that is brushless and has the RPM Extra Long Arms up front. These should work when it comes to ballooning and would let me try the shallow offset all around vs the wide all around I have right now or the wide-front/narrow-rear for a stock Rustler and Stampede.
Instead of using the shock spacers they provide to lower it I used the extra shock pistons to under the one on the shaft and it puts the ride hight about level with arms if that makes sense lol
@@AMain_Hobbies it's not specified, a friend of mine bought the same in my Country (not USA) for his super baja and they are 17 mm. So these are 12 mm, i will ask my supplier (I would buy from you but shipping charges kill from the USA to Europe).
I know this might be a dumb question but here it goes does the 2.8 mean that the tire is that tall or what size wheel it need? How tall are these tires
That's a good question because the tire sizes can be a little confusing. These tires are 2.8" wide with a 4.87" height. Because of the wide and narrow offset 12mm hexes included, these tires/wheels fit a lot of different vehicles though. -Brett
I think you're right, there aren't any that I could find. Not sure why. On some short course trucks you can add a 17mm hex conversion which would allow you to use 1/8 buggy sized belted tires on your truck. -Brett
The Kraton is longer. With the stock tires this truck wheelies, but these tires are not as tall, so it lowers the center of gravity of the truck, making it less likely to wheelie, and more stable. -Brett
Unfortunately no. They have a slick, on-road tire that might fit, but their off-road belted tires are pretty big sized. Maybe they'll have a smaller belted tire down the road. Sorry man. -Brett
I'm not going to tell you the answer but at a university lecture .. ..'s top engineer said: *'What is the most important part of a racecar?'* And the obvious answer was not a sales pitch or over simplification especially when it comes to RC cars and trucks. The answer was so true it supports the fact no major open-wheel racing series anywhere in the world allows unrestrained free .. .. choice these days and the only racing event that still does have a real .. .. choice is in endurance sportscar racing. I'm sure you the answer by now and due to computers and modern technology there is no end in sight to improvements being made in designing "real" car tires. RC planes are not "fake" planes, so neither are RC cars and trucks... they are just as real as full scale machinery and operate using the same laws of physics, and both need "real parts" to operate. A propeller made out of Silly Putty won't work. But for some reason very small tires manufactured for real RC scale cars and trucks use Suzie Q's balloons left over from her 3rd grade birthday party melted down and reshaped... or so it seems. As an old Burns pilot back in the day I am at a complete lose as to why at the prices people pay for good 1/8 scale RC car tires that have a relatively short life span compared to the "slightly larger" properly engineered tires for their real car or truck that some smart manager at Michelin, Firestone, BFGoodrich, Dunlop, Continental, Cooper, Dunlop, Falken, General, Hankook, Kumho, Maxxis, Nitto, Nokian, Pirelli, Sumitomo, Toyo, Uniroyal, Yokohama... SOMEONE... ANYONE PAYING $ATTENTION$ didn't say "wow.. look at the price of that toy tire going on a real RC scale truck..." and then jump on the opportunity to build the first real RC scale belted tires. Right now at Walmart a 16in SuperMax TM-1 205/55R16 91 T Tire sells for $36.88. A set (4) of AKA EVO Impact 1/8 Truggy tires will set you back $100.00. By weight there's a rather large discrepancy just waiting to be taken advantage of. Great opportunity to make something in the USA if you ask me. Every time I look at my truggy it reminds me of a rubber $grinder$ missing out on it's "fun" potential to be worth the expense and I just shake my head watching the tires balloon up since it is taking so long to move from toy grade tires to real RC scale belted tires that can be engineered to spec like "real" full scale tires allowing RC track tires to behave as track tires, and RC off road tires to behave as off road tires. Properly engineered RC auto tires will last much longer and the increase in performance will be staggering.... this is just the beginning as the belted sidewall engineering research is deep but already paid for and done. Just imagine what Michelin is capable of creating...
Not really, there are few belted tires in this size. These tires are the correct size, but they're slicks for on-road driving: www.amainhobbies.com/proline-reaction-hp-belted-drag-slick-2.2-3.0-sct-rear-tires-2-s3-pro10170-203/p1148828?v=1058131 That's about it though in the 12mm hex fitment. -Brett
These tires would be a little too wide for the UDR. These should fit though: www.amainhobbies.com/proline-avenger-hp-belted-premounted-1-8-buggy-tires-2-black-s3-pro9069-21/p1254853?v=1251714 -Brett
Yeah they fit. We show different wheels/tires on the Maxx at about 3:00 minutes in, on our first Maxx video, if you're interested. Check it out: ua-cam.com/video/MFFKsX8E1hA/v-deo.html We made three videos in total, featuring a 6S conversion. It was a lot of fun. -Brett
@@dexandrews9888 Nothing that I know of. It's a particular wheel size. You could use standard 1/8 buggy tires, but they will be a little smaller. UDR tires would work, but again, they are a little smaller. Here is what Arrma offers: www.amainhobbies.com/arrma-mojave-6s-blx-dboots-fortress-premounted-tire-set-green-2-ara550068/p1015773?r=0 -Brett

Great as usual Brett...I like the idea a more predictable operation of the RC ....
Gonna need a pair for my jato 3.3.
There is a easy way to calculate, if you go over the RPM Limit.
Formula :
Motor RPM :gearing=Tires RPM
Good luck to calculate the gearing tho
the diff action your talking about multiplies the RPM by two it's the same principle that full size monster trucks use called sun gears
Oh good! I have not spent any money a Amain all week!!

works well on granite
Looking to put these on my Big Rock. Does it give your Granite a nice stance? They do not look too large?
So does this mean they will wear more evenly now too? Looks like they handle way better I may get a set for the old 2wd rusty!
Should, as long as your camber isn't extreme.

I dont go crazy on camber or toe just enough to get the job done lol I'd say 1-3% at most on both

Can they go on even with all the body panels attached with the baja rey ford raptor
The body panels and tires rub on each other, and it would cut through the tires eventually.

Heeyy, is there any belted SC tires ?? I think not but whhyy??
I think you're right, there aren't any that I could find. Not sure why. On some short course trucks you can add a 17mm hex conversion which would allow you to use 1/8 buggy sized belted tires on your truck.
-Brett
Nice tires but how is that kraton not doing wheel stands like the outcast 4s does
Wider stance....
Chris Watson ok makes since
@@The07gsxr1000 yeah kinda like the 6s versions. The outcast is a wheelie machine while the kraton can do them its much harder.
The Kraton is longer. With the stock tires this truck wheelies, but these tires are not as tall, so it lowers the center of gravity of the truck, making it less likely to wheelie, and more stable.

U would think losi would make some tires that fit with the proper offset one fitness have to cut the body
Do they have the proline belted tires that are thin enough to fit under the body of the losi baja rey??
Unfortunately no. They have a slick, on-road tire that might fit, but their off-road belted tires are pretty big sized. Maybe they'll have a smaller belted tire down the road. Sorry man.
-Brett
Nice video! Especially the end!! LOL!!! How tall are them tires?
Good question. They're 4.87 inches tall (123.7mm) and 2.86 inches wide (72.6mm). Braaap!
-Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies we need a a Maxx size belted tire still! Any thing in the works?
no 14mm hex?
No unfortunately. That might be a nice addition to their hex options though! Good question.
-Brett
With Arrma on the rise, I'm hoping the parts availability will come up with them.
Hi Matt,
Aluminum 14mm available now!

Plastic coming very soon.
I'm not going to tell you the answer but at a university lecture .. ..'s top engineer said: *'What is the most important part of a racecar?'* And the obvious answer was not a sales pitch or over simplification especially when it comes to RC cars and trucks. The answer was so true it supports the fact no major open-wheel racing series anywhere in the world allows unrestrained free .. .. choice these days and the only racing event that still does have a real .. .. choice is in endurance sportscar racing.
I'm sure you the answer by now and due to computers and modern technology there is no end in sight to improvements being made in designing "real" car tires. RC planes are not "fake" planes, so neither are RC cars and trucks... they are just as real as full scale machinery and operate using the same laws of physics, and both need "real parts" to operate. A propeller made out of Silly Putty won't work. But for some reason very small tires manufactured for real RC scale cars and trucks use Suzie Q's balloons left over from her 3rd grade birthday party melted down and reshaped... or so it seems.
As an old Burns pilot back in the day I am at a complete lose as to why at the prices people pay for good 1/8 scale RC car tires that have a relatively short life span compared to the "slightly larger" properly engineered tires for their real car or truck that some smart manager at Michelin, Firestone, BFGoodrich, Dunlop, Continental, Cooper, Dunlop, Falken, General, Hankook, Kumho, Maxxis, Nitto, Nokian, Pirelli, Sumitomo, Toyo, Uniroyal, Yokohama... SOMEONE... ANYONE PAYING $ATTENTION$ didn't say "wow.. look at the price of that toy tire going on a real RC scale truck..." and then jump on the opportunity to build the first real RC scale belted tires. Right now at Walmart a 16in SuperMax TM-1 205/55R16 91 T Tire sells for $36.88. A set (4) of AKA EVO Impact 1/8 Truggy tires will set you back $100.00. By weight there's a rather large discrepancy just waiting to be taken advantage of. Great opportunity to make something in the USA if you ask me.
Every time I look at my truggy it reminds me of a rubber $grinder$ missing out on it's "fun" potential to be worth the expense and I just shake my head watching the tires balloon up since it is taking so long to move from toy grade tires to real RC scale belted tires that can be engineered to spec like "real" full scale tires allowing RC track tires to behave as track tires, and RC off road tires to behave as off road tires. Properly engineered RC auto tires will last much longer and the increase in performance will be staggering.... this is just the beginning as the belted sidewall engineering research is deep but already paid for and done. Just imagine what Michelin is capable of creating...
Will they fit a voltage.
Do a couple of minutes of research, and you will find out if they will fit. Take literally 2 minutes to find out.
Excellent VIDEO!!!!!
Are there any scale size belted tyres to fit the raptor rey?
Not really, there are few belted tires in this size. These tires are the correct size, but they're slicks for on-road driving: www.amainhobbies.com/proline-reaction-hp-belted-drag-slick-2.2-3.0-sct-rear-tires-2-s3-pro10170-203/p1148828?v=1058131
That's about it though in the 12mm hex fitment.

@@AMain_Hobbies thank you for the info 👍
I tryied using the pizza cutter on my brushless e revo and try to cut my pizza the only thing it left me is a floor pizza😭
Is there one for the udr
These tires would be a little too wide for the UDR. These should fit though: www.amainhobbies.com/proline-avenger-hp-belted-premounted-1-8-buggy-tires-2-black-s3-pro9069-21/p1254853?v=1251714

@@AMain_Hobbies thank you bro, I urgently needed one. I will buy it
Sir, they offer 3.8 tires ?
No, but hopefully that is coming in the future.
-Brett
Will this work on the traxxas maxx?
Yeah they fit. We show different wheels/tires on the Maxx at about 3:00 minutes in, on our first Maxx video, if you're interested. Check it out: ua-cam.com/video/MFFKsX8E1hA/v-deo.html
We made three videos in total, featuring a 6S conversion. It was a lot of fun.
-Brett
Can these fit the Arrma Mojave 6s
Hmm, not sure about that as we haven't tried it, but with the 17mm hex, they should.
-Brett
Hey would using some stiffer diff oil in my mt10e help prevent the "diffing out"?
Yeah, that would help. But thicker fluid will also effect your performance, and maybe for the worse. It might be worth giving a try.
-Brett
Nice looking tires. What's the release date of the Russer? Lol 😛
So the 2.8hp is too small for the Maxx and the 3.8 is too big! What's an old bastard like me to do? I want belted!!
Would they fit arrma mojave?
No, these wouldn't fit, plus they have a 12mm hex and the Mojave requires 17mm hex wheels.
-Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies what would be a good aftermarket tire for the Mojave ?
@@dexandrews9888 Nothing that I know of. It's a particular wheel size. You could use standard 1/8 buggy tires, but they will be a little smaller. UDR tires would work, but again, they are a little smaller. Here is what Arrma offers: www.amainhobbies.com/arrma-mojave-6s-blx-dboots-fortress-premounted-tire-set-green-2-ara550068/p1015773?r=0
