What’s your go to wheel and tire combo for the pro? Just curious.

Lou

Don't have a "go to" wheel and tire. My Pro is still not done. Currently has a set of Chanquish wheels and Proline Trenchers.

ScaleLifeNewbie · 03-14-2021, 07:46 PM

My favorite so far is the Proline BFG Krawlers in G8 with SSD 8 Hole/RC4WD wagons. Both wheels look good IMO. they grip on rocks great and they look really good. I tried a buddy of mine’s Hyrax and i feel they grip about the same.

Cut Boggers ftw. Any cheap metal bead lock but I like the ones with full rings on both sides for some reason

The BFGs or the Hyrax? I have had both on the 10ii, but Hyrax only for a few lines just to see how they did.

I hear ya on the Voodoo's! I've been looking to get another set, but they seem to have vanished from the face of the earth! I try to check GSPEED's website everyday to see if they have happened to come back in stock.

I love the OG Rock Beast! They are the perfect size for the Origin/PRO body and perform very well!

GrimmTheTourist · 03-15-2021, 06:30 AM

Running the Pitbull Rock Reast on rc4wd rally wheels. Very happy so far!

Will try the 4.7 RC4WD Patagonia soon. They should arrive tomorrow.

TK421 · 03-15-2021, 07:30 AM

What foams are you guys using with the OG rock beast?

Lou

GrimmTheTourist · 03-15-2021, 07:39 AM

I have the CI Deuce Wild Single Stage CWR-3001.

Probably unpopular, but I run single stage in a lot of my unvented tires. It works really well for me.
They leave an air gap between the foam and tire which let the tire conform very nicely to the terrain.
Note, the tire will bi a bit smaller with this combination.

Pretty good visible on the driver side tire. Mad Beast with matching single stage foam.

I run the exact same foam as Grimm in my Rock Beast. These CI foams were designed for these tires.

Just as Grimm said, they leave an air gap and work great on conforming to rocks. I also do not vent my tires.

RCBrutus · 03-15-2021, 09:24 AM

After a lot of trial and error (and money spent) I finally landed on the following combo for all of my rigs (I am primarily running an Ultra and a Pro these days but also run a Sendero and 10.3 from time to time):

Vanquish Method 101s
ProLine BFG Krawlers in G8 compound
Crazy Crawler heavy duty foams

I have also ran the Krawlers in Predator compound, but found they wear about 2x as fast as the G8 and the difference on the rocks (to me) is minor.

I wanted to like the Hyrax tires but they just did not hook up well on my terrain.

Lashlee · 03-15-2021, 10:19 AM

I run Method 310's with Hyrax, Predator up front with G8 in the rear. CI lil nova medium dual stage in front and hard dual stage in rear. On my TGH Sherpa I used TGH HO V1.1 wheels with the same tire/foam combo.

TK421 · 03-15-2021, 07:22 PM

Any wheels out there that don’t fit the vanquish axles? I’m confused by the small shoulder on the wheel hex...

Lou

OSRC · 03-15-2021, 07:56 PM

Proline TSL's are my go to tire for just about any rig. Predator or G8, they both seem to work everywhere here in the NE.

GrimmTheTourist · 03-16-2021, 04:23 PM

Looking forward to try the Patagonias.
I already have them in 4.19 and they work very well.
Compared to the Rock Beast they are huge and I prefer the size of the RB, but they look pretty good.

Bonus, more clearance.

Those Patagonias are really nice, on my list of tires to get, someday!

Thankfully the list is getting shorter, I already have so many...
