With great tread comes great responsibility... And traction! Wider is good for all terrain and looks excellent
Loooool I'm pinning that! Excellent! 🤣🤣🤣 yeah it does look the business mate and performs so well!
Great vid chap, that opening was such a cool shot, great and good review
Thanks Simon! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Cool video, Lee, and those tires look to be all I expected and more! Well, you said the same.
Thanks David! Yeah they are excellent! Well worth a shot if you have the right wheels for them
You could make a living in dramatic voice reads for advertisements. Great job!
Looooool! I need a better microphone first! Haha
Lee I love your other film but this feel to me that you have stepped up to the next level of your film making , love the jump
Thanks Neil! Glad you enjoyed it!
Hay Lee nice video man.they 9 whils are interesting. Thanks for rewiu it. And you hawe there nice flat surface in whood. Nice place.
LMT Lipola you want to know the best bit? These woods are 20 square miles and the start of it is a 30 second ride from my workshop.
ayyy, again new Music. Really liked that. Not sure if you remember. A few weeks back we talked about my tires that i can't seem to "balance". I'll finally shoot you a DM on the Forum in a bit.
Yeah I thought of your comments when I was choosing the music haha. Ok bud no problems
Good vid as per norm fella. In downhill I’ve ridden 8,9, and 10”s and the grip and stability goes up incrementaly. It is my belief that the contact patch is the biggest factor when it comes to range (the thing everyone is talking about it seems) I should imagine the 9” strikers get a good range at high pressure as the board will run on the uninterrupted centre bead (with a round profile). The new mud pluggers look to have an interrupted centre bead and flatter profile hence bigger contact and grip. Nothing to crazy to understand. But trampa have an amazing off road downhill heritage and these mudpluggers I believe are for the harshest of terrain and the side wall grip is genius for punching through deep crud. I could go for hours I reckon on how excited I personally am about these tyres but apart from a bit of road carving I’m all about getting dirty and challenging myself and the tech to our limits. The future is bright !!!!
Thanks Daniel. What people have to understand is you cant have everything. With amazing grip and performance comes a slight hit in range, Ted tells me on the standard Trampas with the lipos it's not too bad at all so maybe it's my setup. Also I have to reiterate the wheels are at 20 PSI! That is incredibly deflated and I guess if you pump them up they run faster. The future is bright, I love the eMTB stuff, some of my favorite riding
Exactly what you say about can’t have everything. Wheels/tyres really interest me as I have a healthy interest in motorbikes as well and having only 2 contact patches you quickly realise how important having a choice of wheel and tyre becomes. I reckon I could go for hours on this topic lol. A topic about battery’s or electric wizardry I’m waaaay out of my depth lol.
I bought a set of Mudpluggers and put them on in the spring of last year, just as rear tires, with Primo Alpha 9" on the front. The Primo's must have a much softer compound, because they are almost gone. Where as my Mugpluggers have only worn about 20%. So, I'm just going full Mudpluggers all the way around. They still have plenty of grip on the tarmac.
Nicely put together video Lee, really appreciate the quality you have your videos at now. The 9" wheels look great and I will definitely look into getting some down the line. How long is it taking to change the tires over is it something you see yourself doing often or a winter summer thing?
Hey mate, thanks a lot - I apprieciate you saying that seeing as you have been here since day one! Well seeing as you can only run the 9's on the megastar or the soon to be released 9 inch plastic wheels you can keep a set of 8's on the superstars and 9's on the megas and swap them over easily enough. Tbh I think I would rather build a bigger battery and just run the 9's full stop
Tidy video lee. Couldn’t believe the range that you lost with those wheels. So looking forward to seeing you do another with higher psi. Awesome ride. Gutted for you about the lost footage too man.
I guess it matters what terrain you are on too. Off road is a battery killer! Yeah the footage being lost is devastating as Ted rides very fast and it was an exhilarating ride
merci pour toutes les infos que tu nous offre 👊👊👊
pas de problème camarade!
Do you know what the diameter of the trampa rims youre using are? I have 9 inch trampa tires and it looks like they require 4.5inch diameter rims, but trampa's website says the compatible rims are only 4 inches. I have 4.2inch acedeck rims and they don't fit because they aren't 4.5inches so I'm so confused. Thanks
je possède un acedeck nyx Z1 et l'idée d'y mettre du 9" est intéressant, avez vous essayé le 10" ? merci pour ce test !
Offset Deep Dish in the Back + Center Set in the Front ?
is there a reason you don't run them all round? just curious as that was my plan.
Riding on soft sand... Would it be possibke you think with those wheels?
Nice one Lee.. I’ve been running the striker 9” in the back now for about 60miles. The feeling of the back. End being higher definitely goes away. I’m loving the stability for jumping too. To compare my range compared to 8” at 50psi and 9” at 35 psi. I’m losing about 15% -20% range.. but I’m definitely riding much much faster.
That's the thing about it, it makes you push much harder and you lose range because you are moving faster! I actually love them tbh. I'm going to build a bigger battery so I can run them all the time
Lee Wright big time bud. I can’t see me going back to 8”. 🤘
How satisfied are you with your motor choice? Are they sufficient for these wheels in this terrain?
I'm trying to figure out what tire to get. I'm mostly going to be riding streets and some bike trails nothing too crazy. Should I go for soft or hard?
Jason T go for the harder tyres. The 9 inch strikers are a great option for that, it’s what my mate runs at the back. 8 inch primo alphas at the front
Really likes the intro bud
Thanks mate, seems to be popular. I'll do more like this
Yer bro like it man
Good stuff as usual from you.
My take is that if youre not gonna be doing alot of jumping & more riding in muddy/rough conditions then this would be good..
Personally i like to slide the back out sometimes and do some jumping. Now upgrading to etoxx drives added that little extra weight. Doesnt help for jumps n stuff.
Also when i upgraded to etoxx i changed to mbs trucks aswell. And ofcoarse with mbs trucks you need the axle extension from etoxx..
This made the wheel base wider at the back. Much like the 9 inch on the back thing.. personally i think it throws the board sideways a little & doesnt drift as well.
Just some input to consider.
Thanks Ned. Good points to consider. Currently this setup does add some significant weight to the board due to the the bigger ali wheels you need and the tyres themselves. Jumping I dont notice a lot of difference but the back end is heavy with the gears and the tyres etc, certainly compared to the front.
@@LeeWright as im always jumping i get a sore back foot from lifting the weight. Alot of the time im just lifting the front for wheelies n stuff but yeah jumping the board can be straining on your knees/feet/ankles & surrounds.
@@nedtrampz85 lifting just the front end to wheelie over stuff is something I use all the time, it's an essential skill to have under your belt isnt it? Hope your all good with the fires etc that are going on down there. Shocking stuff
@@LeeWright absolutely mate thats what the trampa boards are all about. Im not a huge fan of the lacroix kaly styles with no bindings. The boards are made to be strapped to you IMO.
No fires near me thankfully! Im in perth, WA.There was couple up north but the really bad fires have been in the eastern states.
Nice chill day today n will be taking a ride later ✌✌
Enjoy Lee always good to hear from you
@@nedtrampz85 likewise mate! Stay safe and I'm watching and liking everything you are putting out!
Thanks for commenting on the efficiency. 9’ is not for me because of that
Apparently the lipos dont suffer as badly with it according to Trampa Boards. My setup seems to suffer a fair bit
Lee Wright yeah they dont sag as much. But 1 used MAH is a used MAH. Would love an comparison regarding to efficiency. 2 mile run with the normal psi pressure you prefer on both sizes.
ankjaers that’s not a bad idea at all mate. I’ll see what I can do
Will they fit 8inch hubs or do I have to get new hubs for them ?
They do not fir superstar wheel hubs. They fit the9 inch megastar wheels though, the offset megastar are what you see here
Are you using the pluggers with the offset or center set megastars?
Offset bro!
RIP trainers mate... and range! But man if I was off-road more, I'd love a set!
Yeah the trainers are dead mate hahahah. You could get the 9 inch strikers for the back but means getting new rims too
Careful with the jumps nears stumps
Haha yeah man, I've had my fair share of issues with stumps 🤣
Do you use this board on the street? If so are you using the 8 inch wheels?
Yes and yes 😁
Trampa should really come out with an 8" version of that tyre. The added width and more aggressive tread would still be a great improvement. 9" is nice but it means higher weight and a shorter gear ratio which may not be feasible for some drivetrains.
The tyres are amazing bro, you should try them if you can. I thought the gearing would be a problem as I'm on 1:5 but I love it. Going to build a bigger battery when I get chance for it, go 12S something
@@LeeWright I too am on 1:5 but a 9" wheel would put too much pressure on my motors during the summer. I already overheat them when climbing mountains with the 8" wheels and 12".
@@Taz368 yes I forgot about your overheating and this is a good point for people in hotter climates. We have no worries like this in the UK even in summer!
Making me want Trampa more and more with each video! Can you not just put 9" on the front too to avoid that 'dragster' effect?
You can, but it's not worth the efficiency loss. You can also put a riser on the front to help the nose down thing. I quite like the look tbh! Btw you should get a trampa! Or I could build you something cheap that would get the job done
Yeah some kind of off roader needs to happen for sure!
hey there, have you considered double-wheeling?
No, that's just silly.
@@LeeWright how so, serious question, I think the added traction is nice and the fact that single rocks will shake your ride less with two wheels vs one :)
@@naturecollision traction is rarely a probem in all honestly. The weight is just not worth it, you would be much better using bigger tyres
@@LeeWright ok the argument makes sense, in my case though I have mostly very steep inclines on forest roads to take on, rain drains are a little wide in my area (gaps of about 5 inches) and they shake my 8inch tyres and stress the components a lot, I was thinking with these I could have a smoother ride under those harsh conditions - so you are saying it's worth it if conditions are really bad? or is it just not worth it losing out on range and stressing motors too much? I really like the idea of double wheeling and got inspired by this: ua-cam.com/video/UyfzeA9lvV4/v-deo.html and while I wait for your response, I'm thinking about triple wheeling already just for the gals ;)
I’m not a fan of the big tyres and the dragster look , that being said 8” tyres are not that great off road (in damp mud) and these are better , don’t like the higher ride height either but for winter off road rides these are great
You got it Tom, for off road these tyres are the best out there. I think with your gearing on your Kaly and big tyres you would lose all torque.
Whaat?! Ted didn't fling you a pair for nowt?! How tight? :)
Tell him that! I seem to find nobody wants to work with me. Not one company with the exception of the awesome guys over at Flatland3d have ever approached me to offer some no strings free stuff for review. I paid full price for 99.9% of everything you have seen so far on the channel. Even slick revolution gave me just 48 hours with the foamies wheels and then I had to pay the £14 to post them back. This is why I have enabled monetization on the channel and started a patreon account so that I can try and get money together to pay for things to review.
@@LeeWright Not on IMO - you give good, honest reviews of many companies products, spreading awareness of their kit. You should be compensated IMO. You're essentially acting as their sales & marketing team!
@@munkyheed Trampa have been very kind to me, They took me to Wales and gave me a huge discount off the VESC's in this build and I really like reviewing their kit as it's mostly excellent stuff. At least when I pay for my own stuff I can be 100% honest and say wether I like it or not.
@@tedorr5449 of course Ted, please feel free to use the video! Yes cant wait to catch up again soon, get some more of that lovely Thai BBQ (and ill make sure I have the camera in 360 mode 🤣)
Ted Orr 😁😁
What’s the gear ratio you’re using?
1:5 bud
Lee Wright, does it give you good torque with those 9” pluggers?
@@koenwilliams8819 depends on your perception of good torque I guess. I still get enough to do what I want to do, maybe 1:6 is better but I'm also running 10S so need to be careful
Lee Wright thanks man, I’m sure it would be plenty of torque for me if I’m running 12s. There’s not to much crazy off-roading in Florida anyway😂
Koen Williams oh yeah deffo... I can wheel spin this bad boy pretty easily off road!
should of seid u have not realy got anything to compare with I got an unused black versions of my MBS green ones u could of run
Thanks Scott
I'd have to assume you lose quite a bit of torque with the larger tires as well as range. I'm running a 1:4 ratio with 190kv motors so perhaps moving to a 1:5 or even 1:6 gear ratio would be best. I'm 230 pounds as well so I cannot afford to lose anymore torque than my fat ass takes away already 😂😂😂
You do lose a bit of torque yes but what you lose in torque you more than make of for with extra grip. im about the same as you if not heavier and I run 1:5 which for me is the perfect ratio. DOnt forget im also at 10S not 12
