Pro-Line Hyrax Tire Review - How to Mount Beadlock Wheels
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 сер 2024
- The Pro-Line Hyrax tire has proven to be a great option for both crawling and going fast in scale rigs. Add the Pro-Line Dual Stage Inserts for some added stability when running brushless higher voltage systems. In this video I show how I mount some Hyrax tires, Dual Stage inserts to some SSD RC wheels for my new Losi Rock Rey.
Here's some items mentioned in this video:

Still the best tire mounting tutorial for bead locks on YT! Thanks man
Thanks buddy, glad to help!
Definitely my 1st Tire Purchase when i get My Gen 8 Axe, I'll be looking for a set of 1.9's but every review I have watched seems to tip in favor of this tire. Thx for the video.
The Axe is Supposed to have a softer foam insert and a vented tire, so it will be fun to compare the performance.
Good deal! Happy RCing
Will keep these in mind once I get the Bomber! Thanks
They're a great tire - run them on 4 of my rigs now
Interesting. 🙂I have super swampers that have the ( exact) same tred pattern 👍👍.
Mine are cheap tires. And I sure wish I had those inner foams. Me just got the regular foams.
I have nice aluminum white beadlock wheels though.
Yup 1.9 they are identical looking the tress I mean are exact. But different name.
Thanks for the look bro. 👊😎
Thank you for showing the whole thing - I keep trying to find videos, but they skip steps.
Glad to help, buddy!
Great video Rich, thank you. I definitely want to pick up some of these tires for my Wraith. it looks like they would be a big improvement over the stock tires That U4 track looks like fun.
Thanks Brian! Yeah, the Hyrax will help the Wraith...make sure and check out some of the easy mods for the wraith too, like lowering it, and doing the battery forward mod
Thanks, I will definitely have to do those mods.
One hole on the inner sidewall should be good, some beadlocks come with a hole built in to the rim like the vanquishes. One dude on youtube saying he puts like 8 a tire, to me that's dumb but the worlds full of it.
From my race days, we always did holes in the tread..sometimes on the outer side of the tread. And we always equaled the holes. Usually 2 holes, but for these larger sized tires, I settled on 3
look awesome and those races are sweet!
Thanks Shen
Those are sweet tire and rims...perfect for my rr10 bomber:) that's why my stock bfgoodrich Baja tires are soft coz they have only single foam..now j know:) thanks man! I'm subscribed now:)
Any advice on wobbling? I just bought a set of HYRAX 1.9 G8 Tire Mounted on Impulse Black Internal Bead-Loc Wheels and they wobble. My crawler is brand new and the stock tires do not wobble. Help!
SuperLubot first off, make sure your foams are 100% even all the way around. Then, make sure the Tire’s bead is captured evenly in the beadlock. Other than that, you can massage the tire in the heavy areas
@@TheRCNetwork Wow it's that simple, thanks for the prompt reply I'll do these checks asap.
@@SuperLubot did the advice work? Because I need help bad! I just mounted these as well on on new aluminum beadlock wheels and wow what a wobble! I thought my axle shaft was bent or portals were cooked! I also put the stock wheels & tires back on to just make sure and yup it's the new wheels.
I was just informed that you need blue inside rings for the ssd to mount to proline. I did not know this and can not mount my wheels
The blue rings are the PL version....which help mount them easier.
Got a question here. For the 2.2 Hyrax, which foams should be purchased, the 1.9 Dual Stage or the 2.2 Dual Stage XL? The 2.2 Dual Stage XL foams just seem way too big for the 2.2 Hyrax tire. Thoughts?
I'm usually pretty good on putting links to the products in the video description. Here's the Dual Stage PL foams I used for the 2.2" hyrax: bit.ly/3dCNLo6
Thanks mate, quality vid much appreciated thanks
Glad to help, Sam
Love your channel thank you
Did you not find the hard inner foam can move side to side on the large metal inner ring. They are designed for proline wheel which have a profile to match the foam. Iv the same combo but does not work for me.
Just a little, but nothing noticeable. Not that many people run the PL beadlocks
👍nice combo
I can not get the back ring to sit flush to the front. Ssd wheels and hyrax tires
Blue rings will help
Just installed ssd wheels with proline/blue ring, Hyrax tires and dual stage foam. I see the tires are very pressed,the soft external foam is very pressed too, and I thing if really work on rock climbing? I didn’t pierce the tires too
And you were using these 2.2" Hyrax's? Strange. Mine have a good amount of room
Great videos .Great information..... I have read a few revives that the tires are coming off the wheels ..Have you had a problem with that?
I did a little further research and found they make a model for proline tires ...
No issues at all. Make sure if you use the SSD wheels, to get the blue Pro-Line rings - they fit the tires a bit better
Hi there! Great video!
I know that this is an old video, but I noticed that you said if you're going to be using high voltage or brushless to go with the dual stage foams. But what if your rig is on the heavy side? I did mount these 1.9" with the dual stage foams on aluminum beadlock wheels for my Gen8 crawler. So should I just use the factory Hyrax foams for crawling? After mounting them I had 3 out of 4 wobble bad. So I will try try again while watching this video 3 more times lol! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated thanks!
Yeah, if you're rig is on the heavy side, regardless of electronics, you're probably better off with dual stage foams
thanks for posting this video. Question for you: you indicated that venting tires helped prevent ballooning. Does that apply to 1:10 scale buggies as well?
Michael Boggs on ballooning, I meant when air gets caught inside the wheel/tire on RPM and deflates slowly after running. But yes, I would always vent 1/10th buggy tires too
love those wheel's.
Thanks Andrew!
Just installed my tires on beadlocks as outlined here. They seemed to come out great. That was until I tested them on my Rock Rey. Several tires pulled out the beads. Am I doing it wrong??
They should hold the bead.......but what wheels and tires?
I did the same combo but prefer CI foams better.
Venting gives much more feel and grip
Mike McElligott Nice! Which CI foams fit these?
The RCNetwork The RCNetwork I followed Eddies advice and went CWR 1025 (F) 1026 (R) on my SSD Assassin wide pl wheels. (Your wheel link goes to non pl wheels)
amazing video rich. also did you place in the top 3 in the u4rc race.
For the race in this video, yes...ended up third in 2.2 Indy (Axial Yeti)
I’m having an issue with the beads of the tire coming out of the rim any tips on this?
It really depends on the tires and the wheels compatibility - some work and sone don't
I have not heard of venting tires before. For whatever reason, in all the years that I have been bashing and sometimes racing RCs, The only car that I have had a problem with trash in my tires was on my Traxxas Ken Block I/16 scale rally car. I have three sets of tires of different types, rally, slick, and drift. They all filled with sand like dirt through the wheel vent holes, which were very tiny. I tried to shake them out with little success. I had to drill out the wheel vents, and was, after quite some time shaking, I emptied the wheels of dirt. Will venting work on on-road tires also?
I've never needed to vent on road...I would consider venting the wheels for on road
I just got some proline tires and they will not stop popping off when I’m trying to screw them on. It looks like the wheel bands used here might help to solve my problem?
Yep, I always use tire bands for the Hyraxes....never had a problem since
What is more fun for racing and bashing? A sct or a buggy and I am in between beginner and intermediate
Open wheel (buggies) are pretty fun and seem to hold up better that SCT's Racing these days gets pretty serious depending on the track you goto.
Love them!!!
Yeah, Marco, they're the "go to" tire right now!
Down in the description will take care of ye..😊😊😊😊
I always try and have links there...
I like those wheels im wondering if they would work or fit on a sct
Probably not. Typical SCT's use 2.2"/3.0" wheels to clear the steering.
I just bought the 1.9 they look so kewl on my scx10 I was curious does the tires have a certain direction they have to go on the orange dot is that for which side the tire should be on
Nope, Hyrax's are non directional....I always mount the dots outward. Not sure why? lol
Do you think a 3s stock geared capra with a 25.5t sensored motor, also with weight reduction, would benefit using dual stage foams?
It really depends on the weight....and if you like to go fast
@@TheRCNetwork it doesn't go fast, and I estimate it's around 4-5 pounds. Would the two stage help my tire beads not rip out if anything 😅
Nice!
Thanks dj
Would you recommend this setup on a yeti. For bashing. These tires are sick but I’m just wondering if all this stuff has any benfit for just bashing when compared to the stock tires I got on the yeti kit
brendan meyler great combo. A bit taller than stock, also the foams make a big difference. Lastly, the grip on these are amazing.
Thanks im definitely going to pick done of this stuff up
Would these Hyrax fit on any beadlock time? I’m quite confused by what I’ve read, about ProLine beads needing ProLine rims? Thank you.
Yes, they will. They are a little finicky though, as the bead is a bit larger than most other tires
Could you mount any of those beedlocks on a traxxas stampede 4x4 vxl or would they be to small
They should mount...but not sure if they will clear the knuckles/rear hubs of the Stampede. Tires will be taller than stock, but much narrower
should have gave them a tug to show the rim works good with the prolines.
i'm having a problem with the tsl xl not wanting to hold a bead with any of the rims i usually use with the prolines. i'm also using the 2 stage foams and not impressed at all. yet !
I've heard of issues with the TSL's not holding...no first hand experience though. I've already ran these and zero issue with the bead on the Hyrax's - these are my 4th set of hyrax's.....and 3rd set of dual stage foams. Solid combo
thanks for a reply.
The TSL's absolutely suck at mounting to anything other than a proline rim.
if the hyrax 2.2 tires are 5.75" tall and the proline 2.2 closed cell foams are 4.75 how do they fit?
You will have a little bit of play...which is good - I use them for speed and traction for U4RC and they do quite well
Do you know what rims to use for the 2.9 proline hyrax tires i wanna run them on my smt10 thanks Joe
Not sure on that one.....those are made for the Super Rock ray and are 7.28" tall that's a massive tire for the SMT10. You can check the SRR wheel, but I bet they're a larger hex
@@TheRCNetwork ok thanks that is a tall tire maybe a proline udr tire would be better
You switched out the hubs for SLW hubs. Was this done to get a different offset for the Rock Rey?
Yep!
what Offsets did you get?
Awesome
Thanks for watching!
Cool
Thanks for stopping by!
I put my orange dot on inside. Am i backwords
What rims can I gete for easy mounting of my Hyrax 2.2 G8s?
Any of the VP 2.2" wheels mount great. The SSD wheels need the Pro-Line ring (it comes in Blue) and is specified in the model number of the SSD wheels
venting tires cannot prevent from balooning....rather make it worse as the tire is allowed to expand easily
Arcade Collectors Europe that’s completely false
Stock tire height vs. Prolines??
MultiSkyman1 stock might be 1/4” taller, but over all the Hyrax has better grip, especially coupled with the Dual Stage foams
Do beadlocks my the wheels waterproof?
Yes, and no. Of course, Beadlocks could make them air tight, but air tight will not allow your foams to do the work they were intended
I understand it's not 100 percent sealed waterproof but the tires do need to breath
Do you have to glue beadlocks
Paulwizal23 D nope. Just make sure the bead is fully into the beadlock and use thread lock if going from metal to metal
Awesome and thanks for quick reply.
adding holes on the actual tread is a bad idea... for a number of reasons, not only will it cause your you foam to become more of a sponge when driving in wet conditions, mud and rocks will harden inside, over time causing your tires to warp and become extremely unbalanced. Also increase the chances of the holes to get caught on rocks and other debris that would enlarge the whole or rip the tire completely. To vent the wheel properly, holes should be drilled in the back side of the rim.
Dallin Ostler venting Tires/wheels has always been a controversial topic - for dry conditions like what I race in, venting the tire is best, especially since running the car allows dirt, debris, etc to exit the tire. I’ve never had a tire rip, tear, etc - and I have used this method on 50+ sets of tires now. I can see how venting the wheel can help in water conditions, but once again, I’m not describing that.
For best outcome you’re going to want to “bend it and shove it in!” Something no guy wants a “that’s what she said’ moment! Lol. Childish I know.
Yeah, gotta love "on the fly" commentating....lol
Where is that track? Name? I HAVE to go there!!
Jimmy Louis it’s in Cherry Valley, CA. It’s only open for Racing though.
The RCNetwork I’m down for that!!
Next race is on the 27th.....bring a rig and join in on the fun! great people there!
How would debris get into a properly beadlocked tire? I've never cared for venting tires. I don't care what others do though ;)
It's about letting air and debris out.....if locked down, air will still get in and balloon the tire - especially at speed and in air....causing other issues
I purposefully squish my tires before final lock down to prevent ballooning. It's worked for my crawl style for the last 7yrs. To each their own :)
I got a set of Hyraxes to mount up. Can't wait to use them
Armistice023 I hear ya....crawling may work, but when you're powering an 8lbs rig running a 3000kv Brushless sensored motor on 3s, you'll have wheel speed....
Well done ! ✨🤙✨🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎
Thank michel!
Spray some foaming glass cleaner like tire lube at the shop
Good idea....I have never needed it and the bead has never come out though
@@TheRCNetwork then if you need a little tack, but not quite as strong as glue, you can use a little bit of hairspray
You wouldn't need to let dirt and water out of the tires if you didn't punch holes in the tire to begin with!!!!!!
This was a set up for a race application....plus to get the full benefit of a dual stage foam or most foam period, you do need to vent the tire. I get “not venting” if you’re in a super wet climate or if you turn your RC truck into a submarine. To vent or not to vent is a heated debate, and I see why you’re so mad 😁
No way am I poking holes it my tires! Rookie
It's called "venting" and the only way to truly tune your foams to perform the way they should. #notarookie
Just buy Austar AX-5020 on ebay!😂
Sorry, I don't support fake, lower quality, knock off products. Plus, you quoted the 1.9" variation....these are the 2.2", so great job
