I’m glad you specified that the trenchers do well on your rocks. They do well on granite boulders too, but wherever there’s dirt they aren’t that great. One course I run is all granite boulders so I want to get a set, but my rig is closer to 7lbs so I’m tempted to get predator compound and 4.5 CI comp cut softs
Will definitely try the Trenchers! 👍🏾
Looking forward too the yellow wheels. Really cool comparison on the tires
Awesome video, thank you
...so this is your favorite tire (setup) for this tipe of terrain, and for this particular rig! And that's that.
I understand the controversy over this, but people are forgetting this important detail. For ECTO (as it is), Trenchers (as they are) work best.
We can all digress and talk about inserts and rubber compounds, tread design...the lot. We could all agree on the (un)fairness of this test, because there were variables that weren't accounted for. But this was not a test to see what was the best tire on the market. This was just to see what worked best for this particular rig on these particular obstacles and this specific terrain.
And that's that!
Cheers mate
Keep it up
Yep you are correct sir. What works for me may not work for you on the terrain you have.
Appreciate this vid
I find it interesting to see how the rear-end of the truck lifts up as it starts to climb cause of the torque, its awesome
Great vid Joe just picked up some trenchers the krawlers are my go to tire 👍 cant stand hyrax either they just don't work on our terrain
Try some proline bloggers, PL 2 stage, drill holes in hard foam too soften them up.
We use landmines on our ecto and they have been great. Nice comparison!
I like landmines
I just picked up a set of Trencher predator compound for my Gen 8 and they are working great, but my only comparison is vs. the stock tires and foams. My weather is starting to cool off so I'm really hoping to see what the predator compound can do now.
I have the Proline Trencher G8 I will never regret the buy, they are really good even on dirt
How's the sidewall roll?
Gotta go with what works for your terrain. In some conditions, a wide variety of tires can deliver pretty comparable performance, but there can be a certain set of conditions where the differences can be profound. For example, I've found Super Swamper TSL SX and BFG KM3 to work pretty comparably all around. Sure, some differences here and there, but nothing too dramatic. However, in snow, it was not even close. The TSL SX was very poor, but the KM3 pulled through.
Great points on that. My “rocks” are very coarse so that plays a role in it as well
I am surprised that they are good as a crawler I use these on my 5th scale gas they work well on my two wheel drive HPI Baja 5SC & 5B I believe they are in Pro-Line's XTR compound I believe they are one of the few tyres they manufacturer for the largescale world apart from a couple of race orientated models similar treads to the 1/10th & 1/8th race tyres but not as many compound options.
I have tried them on the 4x4 gas trucks but they don't like the extra weight of them so never tried them on my 4x4 buggies as they work best on the HPI Baja's.
Good morning.
What is you thought on running preditor compound in the front and G8 compound in the rear?
So i just ordered a new green Ecto and also a set of Predator compound Trenchers. Im going to get a set of Crawler Innovation 2 stage foams but wanted to ask if i should go with the 4.5 or 4.75?
I’d like to see you try the hair donut things for the tire foams.
I’ve seen those. Not sure which ones to get?

The g8 compound doesn't pic up so much dust aswell. I run in quite a dusty quarry, the g8 work better for me .
Awesome video Joe. Would like to know how you compare the trenchers to the landmines? Or maybe comparison video would be cool too. Which do you prefer?
well that may be a good one, I have to see if I can match them up on weights.
@@ExocagedRC yea I think it would be a good video. Your the reason I went with the landmines and they are an amazing tire so far. I've never liked trenchers for xmaxx or really anything else but seeing your ecto vids makes me wanna get a set. Aurthur did break down & make me some 10.3 axles
Hi, sorry i am french, what do you prefer tencher or krawler? thanks
I would like to see Trencher G8's verses Trencher Predator.
I agree
Also agree!👍
SSD brass on the rear axle 👍👌
I’m at 60/40 weight balance right now. How would that help besides on downhills?
@@ExocagedRC I think sidehills to fight against the rear swaybar from straightening the rear and tipping you over. Keep the back wheels planted too like on the nasty......maybe!
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
#1 sept 1st!😜
😀😀
What do you think about the proline flat irons test them against the trencher
I have the 4.76 flatirons and I’d rather have a different tire at that spec in Predator.
There’s a tire I’d like you to try, I run them on my comp rig. No one else runs them but they work really well and you wouldn’t suspect them to be as good as they are. They’re Gmade MT-1904, I want to see them on your terrain. They’ll do great. They also only run about $20 a pair
Think you’d be the right one for the test because you know your course and which lines should be taken so well
Looked them up, they spec out to 4.8" Thats nice. I ordered a set, if I like them enough they will go on Myolnir.
we need a tyre test. Trencher Predator vs Krawler Predator vs Hyrax Predator
I don't have a trencher in predator or a Hyrax in Predator
@@ExocagedRC u definitely need hyrax in predator! Lol. Seriously tho. 😁👍
I know you said you had a 4.25 2 stage foam in the predators what size tires are you running are those 4.5’s or 4.75’s
The tires are 4.75 with the 4.25 foams
@@ExocagedRC awesome man thanks
Sir between trenchers G8 vs Hyrax pred? What the best for woods and rocks?
Trencher G8
You need to try trenchers Predator compound
at some point I'll give em a try but these are awesome
@@ExocagedRC i have trenchers Predator very good tyres
Sup rc brothers
Now lets see trenchers on sv1
Well. I’ve changed things. LoL. You’ll see
Not to criticize, but. It doesn't seam to be an even test when u have variables like wheel weight to account for as well as difrent inserts. Just seams like one setup versus another on one type of landscape. Doesn't really help me with really choosing one tire vs another. Thanks
You have to remember, some of these tests I do are for me to see what works best for my own area. I saw that the added weight helped, but the Krawler Predator compound wasn’t a big deal over the G8 trenchers. So I’m staying with the trenchers on the Ecto.
I know it's a lot of time , and effort to really do an equal test. And u may have intentionally made the video the way u did. But as a test, I'd like to see all the comparables the same. IE, wheels inserts , wheels etc. With all the difrences u are running. It's hard to know what item is creating or losing an advantage that may show up, if any..
Those are valid variables. Plus the Krawlers are fully broken in as well. But, I found for this truck I like the trenchers better.
Give j concepts ruptures a try on a car you don’t use for comp they will destroy every proline tire
I've never had those
G8’s all day predators 👎🏽 To soft and wear out to fast trust me I Rc 24/7 Rc legend👊🏽
Yeah. If I ran everyday I’d have way more worn out tires. I ran a set of Jconcepts Landmines up Stone Mountain, almost brand new and by the time I got back down they had very noticeable wear on them. I’d stay G8 on stuff like that for sure.
Same here I run on nothing but NM sandstone so I go through tires too 🤣😂👊🏽
Joe. Have you tried the Trenches on dirt? We only have dirt we’re I live, no rocks at all 👎🏻
I just bought Hyrax soft compound 🙄🔫
I haven’t. But so long as they don’t clog they should be good. If I were running all dirt I’d run a G8 version swampers or bogger.
@@ExocagedRC
Thanks buddy
Why not soak the "unlikable" tires in WD-40 overnight to soften them up more? Wouldn't that work?
Idk man I’ve sprayed them before and nothing changed.
