Awesome comparison my friend 👍🏻 have you ever tested out 2.2 rim with 1.9 stretched on? Im very curious about that set up

Nice review. From all the rc guys on YouTube, I think you are the most passionate. We can see it in your eyes and hear it in your voice. Thanks! I am using the original Traxxas tires. I really like them.

Of course smaller tires are going to have better side support. Taller tires and better foams are still better

I run 4.2's (Injora "Rocks Tire") on my Gen 8. For now I run it at a local park where the trails are very rocky. Some sections are too much for it, but that's ok. If it could just cruise right over everything they would be no challenge and it wouldn't be as much fun. If I ever get a chance to compete with it I want it to be class 1 legal and I also want to be used to how it drives with the tires I'd have to use.

Need to change link length to adjust for anti squat moving with the taller tire.
be interesting of the geometry was kept the same.

that is the tire lifting off the ground when accelerating.
can help it lift over ledges.

I use 4.2 for scale look and 4.7 for rock crawling. In the other words, I use 4.2 for trail run and 4.7 if I am doing a lot of rock crawling.

I've gone for Boomracing Extra Wide Rims with Nova Dual Stage Extra Wide Foams. Excellent side hilling on 4.75 Pit Bull Rock Beast tyres.

The only way to really know is to buy a crap load of tires and different foam. And try them out. Or listen to you. But its expensive unless you have friends to trade with.
You just can't know intill you try a different tire. Although this help

Great video, as always you guys take a methodical approach that makes the difference!
Can I throw one more into the mix?
Have been wondering myself, straight axle with 4.7" or portal axle with 4.2"? Best of both worlds perhaps?

Both my TRX4 sport is running 4.75 Trenchers with 4.5" hair donuts. My SCX10.3 is running RC4WD 4.2" MTR with 3.5" Hair Do

I'm running 3.85 and love the challenge
Great videos, keep them coming. We love them 🙂

I immediately swapped 4.2” tires onto my SCX10iii. The portal axles really help to alleviate ground clearance issues.

Larger tires change your final drive ratio....so more top speed, but less torque and low speed control...just like in real life😎

U are taking different lines then compairing the two. U crab walked the 4.7 but not the 4.2. U never took the same lines. Every climb was under power and momentum u never slow crawledl anything. Every line u did was at speed. Not sure this is a good test. U never mentioned the breakover angle is much better on the 4.7s ive seen much better vids from u as i watch your channel alot. Not impressed with this comparison. All the tire flex and roll u talk about can be addressed with better inserts. My printed inserts dont roll like u say.

[ricardoirizarry]

I have a Gen 7 and use 4.3 to 4.5 are excelent in rocks and trails.

Enjoy your reviews very much 😎🏜🙏 thanks for sharing

Francis, are those Burger King socks?

[robx]

I think a 4.7 tyre is a 47" in real life. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

4.75 on non portal rig with body mods for lower COG. Also wider wheel hexes.
