I really like these videos. I have seen so many this tire vs that tire video where they have them on different vehicles or different wheels. This is a real straight forward comparison.
This test setup is really brilliant
I like the way the predators handle👍👍thank you for running this video😃
Great info, sir!! Always thankful for new insights!
Well that's a very good testing round up thank you some interesting results . I'm happy with the fact that the element grabbers are actually a reasonable tyre it's time for me to get some more and do the block removal to see what improvement there is . Your testing has saved me a fortune in tyre's when I ask on different groups you get loads of different recommendations but none of them are backed up with Evidence like yours . I'm looking forward to your re visit to some of these tyres when they've worn in .
Great video and you're right predators are a killer tire once you get your Tire foam sorted out for your vehicle's weight can't go wrong with those tires at all thanks man
I had my eye on the Predators, then I switched to the G8 based on the description (I mostly run in warmer weather but also take it out in the cold), and this video pushed me back to the Predators. Can't argue with that amount of squish, here in the northeast it's lots of rocks and not much loose stuff so they will be perfect. Also a small detail but I really like how you keep the label on screen the entire run (G8/Predator) - makes it really easy to see what you're running at any point.
My favorite tires! nice test!
I watch your channel all the time. Really Loveing these tire tests. Hope to see more of them. It Would be really cool to see you do series. A series where the winning tire goes to the next round against a different tire. Eventually crowning the king of tires.
William Greenwood that would require me buying all the top tires. LoL expensive for sure.
@@ExocagedRC yes this is very true. You make awesome videos and showcase awesome products. I just bought the voodoo klr/m. Only reason is because of what I seen you do with them. The company's should really send you there best tires for this. I bet you would sell a bunch for them.
LoL just watched the drsquatch soap ad. LoL that guy is epic!! Wish I could make videos that good!
Awesome video
I have the krawler g8 compound. Its my favorite tire
NC ❤MOUNTAINS backyard RC AND MORE🏞. Looking forward to!! 🖒💯
Awesome! Since I like crawling more than trailing... maybe a set of these in Predator on my Capra will be the tire over the KLR/M.
lol the ramp test i was like "YOU CAN DO IT" i personally like the G8 tires in the hyrax treads. probably one of the best well rounded tire for most situations and they seem to have a better life span
Saves me from having to try out all the tires myself. Thanks! Looking forward to seeing the Gen 8 out there again!
The Houleigan the Gen8 on these same tires is soon. Not sure if tomorrow or not but soon.
@@ExocagedRC Cool! No rush, when you get it done!
Looks like the predator compound is the way to go with these 👍🏁
Great comparison as usual. I run both compounds as well. The Predator can rip if you beat on them to much as I have. The G8 are probabaly a longer lasting trail tire or "daily driver". G8 little better at higher speed which I know isn't very relevant.
great video pal , more should do tire testing , love your rock lay out as well i really need to do something like that , ide love to see the boom racing hustlers tested like this , i bought them and to be honest im not over impressed but the rubber on them is very sticky ??? so im wondering is there too much sponge in the tire ?? if this is correct it is very poor on boom racing as the tires should of been tested vigorously before retail but i also think it could be that the lugs in the tread move around too easily ?? id love to see you put them up against your prolines for a little test ;)
I would be interested to see the same test but with dual stage foams and a 10 pound truck.
I always really like such tire tests and comparisons - but.....in "real" life no one drives on a wooden board. But the rest of the test is really great !!!
rolexr where I am wooden obstacles are a normal thing
Bonjour, super vidéo, jolie Capra, vous avez mis du poids dans les roues ? merci
I wonder if the foams are the same inside or if something would change if you swapped them.
Have you tested the RC4WD Genius Sem Fronteira 2.2 Scale Tire? I’m interested in running those on my stretched axial capra, just not wanting to drop money into a tire I can’t use for rock crawling.
Crap i just bought some proline bfgoodrich km3’s in the predator compound but it hits at least 40 degress Celsius on the rocks🥵. I will see how the squishiness and tread wear go at those temps
Awesome video would be cool to see a test vs the predator krawlers or hyrax vs voodoo klr/m or the og klr vs a set of pitbull rock beast xl if you have them as well keep up the amazing video
Devin Hoepner I’ll do the crawler vs KLR thing soon. I have the rock beasts but they are horrible and have never won a test on anything.
What about hyrax?
How do you go about venting? I have the km3 and the krawlers in the g8.
I own both G8 and predator in this KX Tire the Predator compound is awesome but after running for a few months the tire is pretty stretched out I've never had a tire do that before I'm using RC four-wheel-drive stamp Steel wheels withdrawal renovation 4.75 little Nova's
so they stretched? Similar to what the Deepwoods do?
you should make a tire testing play list!
Rc addict I have never made a playlist. Great idea thank you!
Joe. Another great tire test. With that rear axle steering, I assume your tail is several ounces heavier than a typical 2WS Capra. Your 4WS is a full pound heavier than my unit. So, it appears that 2-stage foams are in order.
Bill Deras yeah it does add a bit to the rear. Still don’t have any brass to balance it either. Doesn’t really seam to affect it when on the rocks in front steer only.
@@ExocagedRC Thinking...What is the weight at the front wheels vs. rear wheels?
Bill Deras I could get the balances of it. I honestly don’t know but it has a little bit of front bias. Just guessing I’d give it 55/45 as it sits now, that’s only because of the battery placement.
Hey Exo, I was just wondering how you got the proline beads to fit regular beadlocks, did you mod the ring or just calmped it down as is?
CRCG they went right on with these wheels. Links in description for them too.
These had stock foams ?
How do these compare to the klr/m that you had on the rig?
The bird was sending u out a tweet.
Basically these tires are a buy in predator compound. I think I found my next tire
which one is better for cold or like snow?
Would be sweet to see the axial Krawler ta vs the proline Krawler ta
I was tring to find something on this too, they look to be same design and price. Has any one figured this out?
lot of people don't understand crawling. think its boring... its not, if your average race is a game of soccer with tons of speed and action, crawling is a game of chess where you need to be deliberate and think down the road several moves before you point your tire and press the go pedal. truly a technical endeavor. yeah you can have a great rig and a great set of tires, but you still have to have the skills to put them in the right place at the right time with the right touch. its like surgery.
Cool vids on the capra. What is that fuel cell??
In the 4ws video I show that. It’s from Spare Time Hobbies.
It seems the hyrax with G8 compound coudn't handle wet conditions. Do these krawler tires perform with water on top?
so far the Krawlers have done every thing great
Make a video to show how they hold up side crawling
Andy Hernandez I can do that but they both will fail with the soft foams they come with. Vehicle weight would be the major determining factor on that. I could do the Superlite VS the Capra on that? 4.5lbs vs 6.5lbs. Would that work? I’ll see if I can get some 2-stage foams for a test like that.
are these wheels those Injora wheels? If so are they any good. i see u use them alot. are the aluminum or plastic?
They could be the same thing. I haven’t broken a single one and I use them because I test a lot, they are super cheap and they usually fit any tire I put them in.
What your opinion on running G8 on the rear and predators on the front?
I’ve never tried it but for climbing in warm/hot temps I’d think it would do well
How much weight do you run in your trail truck tires?
Whatever the wheels are. I never add weight to them and some just weigh more than others
What wheels are those? Looking for some good all aluminum wheels for my capra that clear the portals that don't break the wallet.
Idaho RC guy these barely clear, I did a video on clearancing the portal tops so they fit.
Also links for the wheels and more are in the description
@@ExocagedRC okay thank you. Enjoy your videos. Just got into crawling and love it. Started with the Element RC Enduro kit then got the Capra
@@idahorcguy7760 how was manual i havent done a kit but im rc guy and mechanic but ik manual was said to be wrong i can see that pissing me off i was hoping it get revised by now than always almost double price a kit compared to rtr new capra rtr coming out btw
@@paulclancy2404 in box idk. But online errors are fixed
Let's see the capra with and without springs
This or a bomber? I want a crawler but don't know which to choose
If you want a crawler then the Capra is it
The predators will always be better than the G8 under the same temperature... The idea is you get the G8s for hot climates which will allow them to flex more once they heat up, The predators are great for mid to cold climates were the G8 starts to harden up. Yet you missed an opportunity to test sidewall flex.. The Predators are really bad on this on a heavy rig without 2 stage foeams.. Thats were the G8 outperform them.
I know Im asking the wrong place but does someone know of a way to get back into an instagram account? I stupidly lost the account password. I love any tips you can offer me.
@Luca Jensen instablaster :)
@Damien Angelo I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and im trying it out now. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Damien Angelo It worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thanks so much you saved my account :D
@Luca Jensen you are welcome xD
I’m debating on a few different shock options right now. The ottsix shocks are in the running amongst trx4, new proline big bores. How do you like 90mm ottsix shocks?
So far they’ve been really good. No leaks yet either.
Exocaged RC no leaks is a huge plus right away lol awesome thanks!
Are those proline shocks on the Capra?
Stock
@@ExocagedRC oh ok
@@ExocagedRC Do you think pro line shocks would fit on there?
try out the duratrax deepwoods
