- Tire Secret all should know if crawling and trailing is you passion!!! Found exact replica of Proline Hyrax tire for a fraction of the cost. I also tell secret in this video on how to soften the tire compound if tire compounds are not to desire softness!!!! A video all must watch if crawling and trailing is your adult hobby.
Definitely going to try that, I have those tires laying around because I just wanted the wheels but heck if I can make them softer win win!!, thanks for the video man👍👍
I run those on my Redcat Gen 8 coat them with a light coat of some WD40 a while before going on the trails and let it kind of dry in and they get nice and sticky and run great.
Great video👍 Awesome advice keep up the good work
Pro-line has been leading the industry in RC tires, making them right here in the USA, for over 37 yrs now. People complain about how there aren't good Local Hobby shops anymore and this kind of internet mentality of buying cheap chinese made knock-off's is part of the reason why. I'll pay the extra money to support a company who has been innovating for this hobby longer than most of the children commenting here have been alive.
I used to think like that when I worked at a hobby shop in the late 90's. I kinda still do on some things like servo's, ESC's, motors wheels n tires for racing, but when it comes to crawling I use knock off's when I can. Some of the tires are pretty decent these days, not to say they have as good as the name brands compounds but still. I still shop are last LHS in Tulsa (hobbytown) unfortunately the others have went to the way side because of online ordering I'm sure. My boss at the hobbyshop I worked at 20 years ago use to hide the RC Car Action instead of push them lol..
I don't think you like that China can do it better and cheaper.
@@whendeathdeclareswar7458 They pay their employees in china on average less than 20 Yuan per hour, which is the USD equivalent of 2.93 USD per hour......so no shit it's cheaper. They don't follow any globally accepted labor laws. We shouldn't be supporting that. Plus, the Chinese government doesn't enforce patent laws. Which is the only way they get away with copying to begin with.
People get where your coming from but I don't think you get the fact that alot of broke people that want to get in the hobby to see what its about won't go out and buy a $60 or more set of tires to go on their 200 dollar redcat they purchased. Most people would rather put that money towards a better truck if possible and let's not forget the fact that people would rather get a better deal as in a set of wheels and tires that aren't name brand for what just one set of tires cost. I also believe that some of the cheaper Chinese alternatives could be made here if someone wanted too and still offer a decent product, everything American made doesn't have to be sky high
I hate to break the bads news to everyone but both of those tires are made in china in the exact same factory. the injora tires are a different compound than the prolines but are made in the same molds. Other similar Chinese knockoffs are the same product that doesn't pass a quality control inspection and is sold as an off brand. Either way you are supporting china so stop with the old school mentality of not buying chinese.
I used dawn dish soap and hot water, scrub them with a soft green scrub pad and then re wash by hand. They stick just like my g8 compound hyrax
love the video uncle bruce and hopefully we get to see u soon
Thanks for watching Morgan!!! Hope to see you soon as well.
Great tip! Thanx man!!
No problem 👍 Glad it helped
good information
i got super swampers they are great, nice video
Not bad at all !!! Not the best ever but not bad at all. Thanks for watching !!!
Spray non chlorinated brake cleaner on em and light em with lighter. Don't douse em with cleaner. The flame goes out farely quick n they get sticky permanently. Last long as well. I do this for my ebuggy and 1/10 2wd/4wd buggies. Works great
I was thinking between these Injora ones and TRX Canyon Trails or whatever their name is also from. INJORA so thanк you for that comparison!
wd-40 does about the same and can be left for hours to soak in with very little risk of over softening. Brake Fluid works as does the newer non-volatile carb cleaners though the later needs to be treated like the PB Blaster, spray on wipe off repeat a couple of time till you get the consistency you want.
I can give you an additional trick for softening rubber, going back to my old 1:1 dirt track days when we would have to run a track tire. we would put a coat of brake fluid on the tires and let it soak in, less damage to the rubber and will soften them up pretty good.
Very good idea 👍 bud like that one and for sure going into my truck bag
Hobbypark I think on amazon are the same too, 120mm or 4.72" so bigger I think. Great for an scx10 3. £24.98 on prime next day deliver set of 4. Sounds good to me 😎👍
Thanks for the info!
Very interesting man 👍
Thanks for the visit
The Austar one is quite good too..
The way you do pb boqster is soraying the entire can inti a boek and submwrge the while tires a few weconds each
Do you just wipe off or wash with soap and water when your done letting it do its thing?
I have done both but feel the effect is better when washed off. If left on the oil could continue to have its effect and ruin the tire compound. This trick has worked great racing buggies for me .
I wonder if carpet glue spray would make tryes super sticky
Bro where to buy?
Tires are the one thing you don’t want to go cheap on
Well that only applies to real cars and only because the safety and security of you and others depends on them. nobody's gonna get hurt if you go cheap on tires for a toy.
Commonly referred to as "Chyrax"
I seen a similar trick with WD-40 and a paintbrush so stupid me sprayed the whole tire and sidewall down and let it sit overnight and holy s*** did it my gen 8 outboard climbed trx4 I've left it soaking overnight a couple times now as does the Traxxas owner and have not seen permanent damage are we lucky and should stop?
boostedKTM this is very commonly done in RC off-road racing world. Won’t hurt the tires at all just makes the wear out faster since you’re making the tire softer. I’d consider getting liquid wrench (yellow) instead dries faster. Put it on light and brush it in J concepts sells a tire brush just for this should be dry in a 10-15 minutes.
Did the hexes fit snug or did they have play in the wheels hex
Do you have a suggestion for making the wheel hex more snug? I bought adapters to widen my stance and have some play in my hex. I was thinking maybe using plumbers tape but wondering what others do
@@creekdogg32 the trick is heat shrink, cut a piece long enough to come over the front of the hex once it shrunken but flush or Shi of the hex pin hole. You'll still find this a very snug solution if you make a video give me a shout-out.
@@mehimrc1314 thank you so much for the info
Prolines will grip better but those Chinese knockoffs are good I got them too just for regular trail riding
There the same tread design completely different compound (rubber) & won't last like the Prolines. for the money its not bad deal especially after soaking them in PB or WD etc
Thanks for sharing..where did you order them tires from? I just got the same scx10 2 you have unimog
Search 1.9 crawler tires on Amazon and they are the very first to pop up. Hope this helps my friend. Thanks for stopping in and watching.
@@2ManyHobbies16 they make wheel and tire sets for the SCX24 too, have you tried any of those? 🤷
Shit, this was misdirected lol but you got one a them? I got 10 year old twin nephews that also got a couple a SCX24 Deadbolts and was wondering if the ones these guys make for those was any good? I dunno just broke but tryina get some cool shit for the noobs back home in Hawaii 🙁
@RC Bru-C got lost I'm old waàh 🤣
Wasn't misdirected, I'm just slow 🤦🤣
I have in more on 5 crawlers there great
For the price they work absolutely fine
In the go kart world people soak tires in transmission fluid to do the same thing
I have 2 sets of those, they work really good!
WD 40 is safer just an opinion Thanks for the Video
Iv heard back in the day put tires in a zip lock bag sprayed with w-d 40.
Amazing intro!
Thanks!
On slot car tires we used to soak them and wipe between races with simple green. Worth a shot as well, and will clean them up nicely!
Worth a try for sure, thanks for the advice appreciate it and thanks for stopping in.
I've tryed Simple Green and it seems to work well. I'm not sure if it soften the rubber more than just making them sticky.
Hey thanks for the info. I ordered and received a set similar. I'm putting them together now and they're looking great. Only downside is that I bought Chinese dual stage foam which ended up being too hard of open cell foam and a solid rubber inner ring. So all-in-all... I love the tires and the wheels but don't buy the Chinese dual stage tire foam, it sucks!
Cut v shapes out of the foams every 1/2 inch will give tires more grip and remove foam making them softer
Don't go through the foam all the way leave 1/8 inch towards the inside of foam
@@2ManyHobbies16 Thanks again man I really appreciate it. That will definitely help, plus I need to glue the foam to the rubber inner ring because it keeps walking from one side to the other. But still overall I'm stoked for what I paid it's a steal✌😁👍
@@zakattack450 No problem glad I could help.
Do you have any problems with those tires wearing really fast?
Everyone said they wear fast, I have been using mine for over a year now now problems so far
Sweet thanks for the crazy fast reply!👍
No problem, no real weight to cause such wear. Over time everything wears . Snow day stuck at home lol appreciate you watching thanks.
Yeah no problem I have a danchee ridge rock that I’ve been modding( and painting) and was looking for some upgrade tires bc I’m running stock right now.
For the price on a budget build they are great, even hit them up with wd-40 to soften them up a little more.
The injora knockoffs aren't bad for the price, but they do wear out faster than the Proline version.
Absolutely agree, not bad at all for the price but do wear out quick but for the price no big deal
Only get 1 season out of em yea
Ive had the fake hyrax there good but in high grip situations they would wear down fast
They aren't bad at all still running same set on mine. Agree high grip not the best, but for the price they are they perform. Thanks for watching appreciate it.
@@2ManyHobbies16 like u said there good if u whant something better than lets say your stock tires i still have them i have them on my scx10 ii my trx4 runs hyrax g8
That’s a super swamper in real life those stars are made where I live
Wd40 was the old slot car trick. Your tires will degrade alot faster
what is the pb blaster?
Same thing as wd-40 penatrating oil
It is the best rust buster on the market
Exocaged rc does a very good comparison video between the injora and real hyrax
The one where the super swampers are visibly worn after a few runs? lol.
Thank you I'll look 4 it
Anyone ever try soaking in engine stop leak?
No, does it work the same ?
WD40 does the same, we use to spray it on our clay track but gets expensive just like VHT..
For sure !!!
what about using wd40?
Same effect !!!
I think no matter what tire or rims you buy are all coming out of the same few factroys .
isn't it crazy how 6 tires, foams, and rims cost half what your 6x6 costed.... wtf is going on. These tires should be half the price, the foams should be 1/4 the price, and the rims should be 1/3 the price.
Wouldn't that be nice 😂!! Unfortunately it doesn't work that way, companies don't make much on the initial purchase of the vehicle, thats called the "HOOK". They get ya on accessories, the same goes for Firearms companies, although firearms cost a good deal up front wait until you buy that $1500 hundred dollar scope, lights, ff barrel etc ha ha... Good luck
HKGuy Snowman#1 my mdt chassis bolt action costed over $3k to build. Scope, rings, and rails were half the cost...
But glass is expensive to design... I have a few $1500 lenses for my D750 and I can tell the difference between an $1100 f4 and $1800 f2.8 standard zoom.
The actual reason why tires cost that much is due to people paying that much. In the business world this is called a long tail strategy. Niche hobby products fall on the long tail of a standard distribution and have few customers. So they don’t make money off product turnover like Walmart rather price gouging people.
@@KTMcaptain you might want to do a lil research on the RC Hobby World (NICHE) falls knowhere in that realm. for over the past 16 years Rc Hobbies are the 3rd largest sub category on Ebay ALONE & bringing in several Billion dollars a year, nothing Niche about that, now imagine the money made if you include the entire WORLD!!... I know Firearms thats my first love, I have 10s of thousands in custom made guns & glass, yet @ the end of the day I can easily shoot sub MOA out to a 1,000 yards with my Vortex diamondback 6-24x50 the same as I can with my NX8 2.5-20X50 F1. whats the difference one might ask? about $1,700.00 dollars, nicer glass better build, is it needed ?? No not at all, I'm not at war shit our own military doesn't have anything that nice, Its just a niche 😉 thing 90 % of us will never need, but they know theres always people/suckers out there that'll buy them.. 👍🏼
Tread on these are to hard you can’t crawl anything with these
Huhhhhhh
I hate to break the bads news to everyone but both of those tires are made in china in the exact same factory. the injora tires are a different compound than the prolines but are made in the same molds. Other similar Chinese knockoffs are the same product that doesn't pass a quality control inspection and is sold as an off brand. Either way you are supporting china so stop with the old school mentality of not buying chinese.
So you're openly telling people to buy knock offs rather than the companies that openly do the R&D to develop the tires
They do look alike. But are in no way similar.
I purchased those tires off Amazon. They wore out so fast I returned them. They worked great for a few weeks and then they were shredded. Not worth it they really are cheap for a reason.
Wow sorry for such bad luck !!! I have had mine for over a year now in all kinds of conditions and still going strong.
The reason I just ordered more was to have enough tires to put on my 6x6
You returned tires because they wore out? That's like returning your breakfast because there was less and less the more you ate.
Intro music is terrible.
by far the worst tire on the market, dont waste your 20 bucks
You pay hundreds on the truck and then buy cheap Chinese knock off tyres ?
Most people aren't like you, they always use best options for the money.
@@menulminthaka8100 you mean they have the money for the car but not for good tires might as well leave the stock ones on if there a broke ass
lol so your secret is to buy a knockoff tire that performs shittier than the original tirel that performs mediocre at best to start with???
yes, china is cheaper, most of the time.. but what's the cost of that? sending money to a country that's conquering you economically. a country where they genocide and where they don't have freedom, and where they don't play by rules of environmental protection.
