I dig the slow mo drops. This truck drives so much better with the firestorms. I don't think it slides too much, you'll just have to get used to driving it
Nice video. Very clear descriptions of what performance characteristics you want to change, what parts you are changing to get that result, what parts you chose and why, and finally some demonstration clearly showing the before and after results.
I like the tire squish. I have a question, can you mitigate the squish by using stiffer foam? And still get the maximum squish? Maybe the stiffer foam in the tires with heavier shock oil, could possibly mitigate bottoming out the chassis? Just a thought, I’d like to know what your thoughts are. I also have a losi lmt, haven’t driven it yet. But I can’t wait. Thanks for the information.
Looks more scale to boot! I did the same thing with my SC10GT and a set of crawler tires; has saved me broken parts. Looks like a fun rig. Wouldn't mind bringing my Mad Crusher GP out with ya someday.
I believe they will. I dont like the floating pin design. I dont know why they couldn't have drilled a hole and make it so you can use factory hex pin so they dont just fall out. Just like putting wheel spacers on a real car adding weight farther away from the axle housing will cause more wheel bearing and hub (stub axle) stress.
Why pin drive? I always had issues with pin drive. Mount old OG wraith was pin & I had a lot of issues stripping wheels. Switched to 12mm hex all problems solved!! Just curious!!👍🏼
I personally do not like a lot of slo no it’s too played out these days but, I know I’m one of few compared to people who love slo-mo. Either way the videos are always great!
Thanks for the comparison video, I was wondering what the difference would be. I’ll stick with the stock wheels and tires, the jconcepts rebound too much.
Nice i love the truck an did treal upgrade's on it axle's and 4 link. But didn't realize the shock's had a problem when it was shipped to me from Horizon hobby's. But to ship it back for warranty your charged by the pound to ship it so better off to just upgrade or replace them
Awesome buddy, I wanted to get that truck but I went for a trxxas maxx instead so I can use the motor out of my Xmaxx in it lol sticking the max6 in the xmaxx and using the mini maxx motor in my summit...
Really see what’s going on with it when the slowmo drops happen. Crazy. Great video Joe and can’t wait to see you tear it up with the LMT. Really thinking about getting one since Treal made housings. Wished Vanquish or Vitavon would put together a creation for us that will be like no other
Looks like the glues not holding on the jconcepts? The Treal housings look epic good choice with the silver👍 The slow mo drops were epic😝 you were really giving it to the truck😆👍
That’s the thing is to learn to drive it with each kind of tired pending on what you’re doing what tire you use but you master all tires show who’s boss
Just subscribed that was really cool I think I got a knock off of the Holmes hobby motor going to go to his website in order one from him thanks for all the information last night on basher boy Saturday night RC live 👍👍
You always getting stuff thsts on back order, like they send you guys last of the product . Oh only on backorder for listed price if willing pay 50 percent mark up than sure Amazon bought plenty to sell lol 😆
@@ExocagedRC the way it seemed to bottom out so much and bounce up when landing, I think it’s much better landing with stock wheels. I also have treal all around so it’s def landing harder than stock. Hope the vitavon links become available again soon
Slo mo drops were AWESOME lol for a second I thought I'm too high for this
🤣🤣🤣i feel it bro
Same lol
AHAHAHA. EXACTLY! -WAIT, WHAT?! WHO SAID THAT? -DID I SAY THAT, OR THINK IT? IMA GO GET SOME ROCKY ROAD ICECREAM.🤔🤣
We’re you watching up on a roof or something?😂😝🤜🏼🤛🏼🤙🏻😜

Thank you. Those tire compressions are so fast you need slomo to catch it.
Compression looks very realistic! Great job!
Thank you very much!
Awesome slow motion bounce test.

Yeah Them slow motion shots are awesome do
It Chassis smacked in the slo-mo! Great job showing it.
Nice wheel adaptors slow mo's were awesome💥 gotta get me a monster truck👍
Won't those adapters add more stress on the stub axles??
I believe they will. I dont like the floating pin design. I dont know why they couldn't have drilled a hole and make it so you can use factory hex pin so they dont just fall out. Just like putting wheel spacers on a real car adding weight farther away from the axle housing will cause more wheel bearing and hub (stub axle) stress.
You could swap out for 12mm hexes and use the adapters that come with the tribute wheels.
Why pin drive? I always had issues with pin drive. Mount old OG wraith was pin & I had a lot of issues stripping wheels. Switched to 12mm hex all problems solved!! Just curious!!👍🏼
Hey! These wheels adapters should fit the smt10? I had a hex nut spin in my tribute wheels. Hoping this would solve this issue.

Thanks for the comparison video, I was wondering what the difference would be.
I’ll stick with the stock wheels and tires,
the jconcepts rebound too much.
Yeah they do bounce quite a bit.
Surely not 200 better , I like the setup nevertheless
Thoses whell adaptors, r nice .wonder if they make some 4 smt10 to?
I thought the gold compound was the stiffer one and the blue compound was the softer? Am i wrong? Just a question lol
I dig the limiting straps, thats what I've been looking for. The slowmo shows what I've known for years. Big ass tires save your rig
You sir have a awesome collection. Keep up the great videos
Thank you kindly
Love your videos with the tech info, testing and information. Great stuff!
SUPER SICK SLOW MO LOVED IT! Sure wish treal hobbies axles were avalible
Do you recommend and rims that you wont need to cut down ?
Any tip's on shock upgrade's ?.Mine leak from the factory an don't hold oil it's a pain to fill every time i run it
I’ve been lucky I guess. Mine don’t have any leaking issues.

top vid. looks like perfekt tires for 👍

Vitavon will have housings soon. I’ll probably go 4ws with a Gravedigger at that time so I have both.
Exocaged RC Vitavon makes the housings and I will buy an LMT Gravedigger for sure.
Not going be much cheaper than treal or you just like vitacom that much
Paul Clancy I like vanquish more but I really like Verizon to I don’t care how much something cost It doesn’t matter
Paul Clancy Vitavon, I guess My phone can’t hear me right
Looks like the glues not holding on the jconcepts? The Treal housings look epic good choice with the silver👍
The slow mo drops were epic😝 you were really giving it to the truck😆👍
Lol. That's exactly what I was thinking,,this guy likes watching it when he drops it.lol..
Where are the limit straps found? Brand name? Thx
Slo mo drops are cool 😎
Great video! are you in northern Florida? I see a lot of palmettos in you yard.
Wow love that tires perfect
That’s the thing is to learn to drive it with each kind of tired pending on what you’re doing what tire you use but you master all tires show who’s boss
NO Foams in the gold Firestorms? Mines doesn't go that soft :(
Very nice comparison. Ty
Just subscribed that was really cool I think I got a knock off of the Holmes hobby motor going to go to his website in order one from him thanks for all the information last night on basher boy Saturday night RC live 👍👍
Thanks for the sub! Awesome man
I thought the firestorm tires were bigger than the stock tires
needs the slam tech inserts
Good Tire 👍😊👍
How about a 5mm shock (shaft) stop? Should keep from chassis slap. (Most of us know that chassis slap scrubs speed & handling).
Yeah it chassis slapped on the cement on one of the slow mo clips
What size limiting straps ? I didn't see a link for them
105 mm
Those are Hot Racing straps 105mm
You always getting stuff thsts on back order, like they send you guys last of the product . Oh only on backorder for listed price if willing pay 50 percent mark up than sure Amazon bought plenty to sell lol 😆
Couldn’t you have just beveled the inner edge of the wheel to get the clearance vs cutting the rings completely off?
There isn’t a whole lot of material to trim away but you coulda trimmed some.
@@ExocagedRC hopefully JConcepts will make some wheels to actually fit
It be nice if someone makes redesigned steering knuckles that bring in the steering arm and shorter steering link to accommodate the tributes!
Looks just like a monster truck how the tires squish on landing
I think the slide looks scale!!! 1:1 Monster trucks seem to drift for days on the throttle
Did you see @Kevintalbot video running his on 4s with stock system
Limit straps wow.
Needs more rebound on those shocks
I would have sanded the inside of the wheels for clearance. Back cutting is a terrible idea!
Sand it out and it gets super thin, then it breaks off and you end up back cutting them anyways. One one of them I did try that and it was too thin.
The e6000 never worked for me
😁👍
I’d just run slightly longer center pieces
at 7:15 in the video you were eating.
LoL yeah I tried to talk normally
Bruh def don’t like this mod thanks for sharing
why is that? The Rebound?

Makes the stance too wide doesn’t look right anymore
A part Nr for HR strapes, please 👍🏻👏🏻👍🏻 THANKS.
