I know this video is 2 years old, but you have one of the best rc channels on youtube. The amount of information, insight, and opinion is worthy of a subscription.
Let's not forget that (4x) G8 Hyrax + (4x) PL Dual-stage = $106, while (4x) JC Tusk = $50. And the Tusks will perform on their stock foams, while the Hyrax really won't.
and Proline doesn't allow Amain coupons either
J Concepts are awesome. Thank you so much for showing us how they hold up. It’s also nice to see the 2021 out again.
After trying the tusk first on my g speed build with factory foams.I put 3.4 Halo inside the tusks and ran them again.They are a very capable tire for wet and dry rocks
I wonder how well these tires will preform with the anti-foams to improve side hilling and still conform to the rocks. Maybe that’s something you could do a test on to see if it improves on decent and side hills.
Jconcept makes some great tires! Thank you
Jconcepts is amazing..their landmine performed awesome ..Tusk absolutely in my radar n will be next on my collection.. looks promising and I believe it will perform well with the right foam setup..tq Rc review for the highlights..👍😊
Yeah dude. I run Jconcepts Scorpio and Jconcepts Bounty Hunters on my trucks. They're totally beastmode
looks like a copy of the baja pro x tires to me
Not exactly like them but pretty damn close
It’s actually a copy of the Baja pro xs the street version of the Baja pro x sticky
@@scooterdrum ok have check that out
Nice. I've been using Jconcepts tires ever since my racing days. I just picked up the Tusk and also the Hunk tires.
These have been on my radar since they dropped... Thanks for the unbiased box stock review. I bet they'll be much more well-rounded with pl dual stage or the like.
Maybe next shout out have all tires that are new. I guess it shows that even a clapped out G8 Hyrax can still crawl with brand new sticky tires. Still a great vid and those Tusks look up to the job🤙
Most tyres gets better when they are used!! New tyres dont have peak performance.
@@runnerbaba yes I understand that but those Hyrax looked more than worn in. Not complaining as I appreciate this channel very much. Just coming from a DH mountain bike background you would never do a tire test with a new set and a “worn in set” it isn’t good really a fair comparison , but they did crawl good and those Tusks climbed ratty good for not being broken in. Either way it’s a win as I had never seen that tire before. Be good ya Big German 🤘
The first RC crawler tire named after a Fleetwood Mac album!
Love your videos hope u guys do a shoot out between TRX sport phoniex sendero scx10.3
J concepts make some great tyres but need to work on product names..
But the tusks performance looks solid.
Cheers 👍
Nice !!! I want some for my SCX6 !!!
Sir
You sure do pack a lot of important info in this video!!!
Thanks !!
Sweet looking wheels, but those hyrax were low on tread i doybythey will beat brand new hyrax as the jconcepts were brand new and the hyrax were very low on tread it looks like just an opinion but great video and great looking new tires 😀
So am I to understand that the Hyrax have upgraded foams and the Tusk have stock foams?? And this is a fair comparison how?? Maybe use stock Hyrax foams for truly non biased review.
Why didn’t you use the predator compound... those are the proven best
G8 has been around the longest and is a proven compound. While the predator is softer, it also doesn’t last near as salon and is more likely to tear. Predator compound is meant more for comp crawling than a scale/trail truck.
@@Cooldibs this is strictly rock crawling... I’ve been running two sets for a year best tires I’ve ever had. This comparison was weighted towards this new tire looking better like a commercial.
Oh man great indepth review cant wait till my stock canyon trail tires are ready for switch...
Great videos. Although this isn't really a fair comparison, as they're two different setups. Your Hyrax's are also hairy and broken in, so of course they're going to grip better. I would also reevaluate your other video comparing the Hyrax to the KM3 Krawler, in which you can clearly see the KM3 outperform the Hyrax. Before noticing that, I bought the Hyraxs based on your videos, only to discover they are an inferior tire. I have both the KM3 and Hyrax in predator compound, and I'm actually going to sell the Hyrax. The lugs collapse when trying to hook anything, I'm not optimistic about their durability with so much siping, and in application, the Hyrax struggles on every line that is a cakewalk for the Krawlers. In most of your testing, you're on worn out concrete obstacles or smooth rock on landscaping features
Looks like the ultimate trail tire.
The Hyrax look really worn. Will that affect performance in any way?
Look broken in if anything probably improved performance
Yeah, they perform better when they're broken in for sure
Looks like rc4wd mickey thompson baja pro x
what is difference between g8 and predator? i was always told predator is better.
Predator are okay at first but, they wear out super quick since they're so soft. I run G8 instead. It's a great compound.
Good video. Really tho should have been a predator compound.
Thank you Sir
Did you ever do the Pitbull Rock beast 1.9 XL review?
Will they end like the landmines?
Looks like a great tire…gonna get some.
I thought you might have a tire test coming up soon 💯👉👌💯👉👍
Use a lighter wt shock oil. It will transform the TRX any thing.
And they look awesome!
Terrific review!
Did you give these tires the “sniff” test?
I’m still curious if you have ran these more to get a final thought on how they preform after breaking them in.
Once I tried the tusk. I never looked back at proline or anything else
Should of used predator compound. The g8 doesn’t collapse like the green j concepts and the predator would of done that probably better.
the hyrax tires look like the are very very very well worn in
I like how they look similar to the Mickey Thompson Baja Pro X and are slightly cheaper.
That’s the bonus. Cheaper and they look a lot more realistic.
And predator compound?
Should try the tires in the direction they were meant rather than running them in reverse direction.
Very good 👍
These look like the 40” Mickey Thompson Baja Pro XS tires I want for my Jeep
they are copycats
Foam Original Tyre Or Proline Foam Sir ????
Have you reviewed RC4WD's Wrangler/Good Year?
I hate it when UA-cam channels state "Tire test" and then use different foams in each, such as dual stage in one and a single stage foam in the other, rendering the test useless. At least use the foams the tires come with if not the same
I used the dual-stage foam in the Jconcepts and it was awful. It was too big and too stiff. Reading their instructions, it's essential that their foam be used since it's tuned for the tire and allows the tire to conform which is key to the tire.
Why not test the tires on an equal playing field foam wise? A tire with dual stage foams is going to outperform a stock foam setup any day. Once again another misleading video..
I agree 💯
You should try auntiefome pretty awesome
I'd like to try some of the Antifoams..
NICE 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
first !
nice review thanks
They Kinda remind me of the Baja pros
the music is very annoying
They can't be any worse than the rc4wd mickey baja pros 🤷♂️ damn things turn into slicky mickeys once they get dirty, and have zero support for the lugs
Hyrax are beat to shit already...
