Thanks for sharing M8 👍 I'd never heard of long wear tyres until now, and the test track conditions aren't all that dissimilar to where I am. Keep up the great work M8 👍
Damn that track looks awesome! Honestly on any dirt I’d not have much knowledge on true tires performance. I’ll say this, the driver is amazing! And clearly knows that car well!
As an MTBer (mountain biker), and someone who's built a coupke pretty small trails, and features, I know the work that goes into dirt jumps and trails/tracks (in this case), and it KILLS me to see the RC track that dry, to the point where it's all cracked and hardened by the sun.
Wow, you just weared down those long wear tires in ~8 minutes and 40 seconds as much as I weared down the stock micro pin tires on my Wltoys 144001 1/14 buggy in 9 months! Granted, I drive a LOT more conservatively and more slowly and I run in a lot better conditions, but still, wow!
Great Vid ! Thanks for putting the temperature into °c as well (it helps for those on the European Continent :) :) ) Oh, great cooling system for the car by the way :) :) :)
i like the Tire storage compartments, where can i get some of them? (preferable EU) I use sealable plastic bags for now, but your method seems much better! also thanks for the great comparison and eplanation when to use what tire compound.
Yes, this tire bag is great! It's the ProTek bag that includes the tubes and it's available for 1/10 and 1/8: www.amainhobbies.com/protek-rc-1-8-buggy-tire-bag-w-storage-tubes-ptk-8106/p-qqqeqsrqgzzwqctz -Brett
Question. Since the tires are not pneumatic, is it possible to use different foam inserts to change dynamic resistance to the tread face? Your test was identical foam inserts.
Could you guys maybe make a video on how to paint an rc car body? I would find it very useful, especially if you showed how to do it without any special materials.
Because LiPo's included with cars inquire a fee when shipped, and a vehicle is shipped many times; from the manufacturer to the distributor; from the distributor to the hobby shop; from the hobby shop to the customer. That is three times the shipment is charged an extra fee because of the LiPo battery. Another thing is most r/c people have their own batteries and don't want to pay extra for a car because it includes a battery they do not want. Hope that explains it. -Brett
Long wear aren’t nearly as sticky, and last longer due to the compound being harder. Short life will give you far better sticky and grip, yet last much shorter. I learned this on real cars the hard way. Hence why I’d drive on soft tread on my performance cars, BMWs, and an older Porsche I had way back.
Those top brand tyres are expensive here in my country. So having to buy multiple set is a no no. Luckily there's some pretty decent local brand but not as good as this unfortunately
@@TheNamesArif I just got in to the hobby and the tires that I have got for the arrma typhon 6s blx all get shredded except for the belted street tires im going to try out the badlands 2.8s to see how the play I may have to drop my gearing a bit more to stop overheating the motor. Ballooning is a major problem
@@TheNamesArif try amazon thay have good prices at $100 for a set here in the states are high for me to. Amazon has them at half and sometimes more than half the price
Yes I did like this type of video as well only wish to shower able to give a few other brands to try. Well lets be honest I guess there's only jconcepts and then mega corp that owns all the other ones. But I'd still like to see how they stacked up on the long wears. That kind of stuff kind of sway you when you go to spending your hard-earned money on it.
This video was about comparing standard compounds vs. long wear compounds. Comparing all the different brands would be cool but that can be pretty time consuming, expensive and would only apply to that track and those conditions. So, really, not that practical.
I didn't say buy every single tire and compare them I was just talking about the long wears from each brand which wouldn't be that long of a list if you thought about it and it wouldnt make 4 hours of video or cost $2 million as you're referring so it was just an idea and throwing it out there!! But I'm glad the internet police got a hold of me and let me know that I was reaching. Hahaha , just teasing. 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀

That is cool! Ya'll put the oval track together with the round track. Intelligent!
Great video thanks, I’d love to see more testing and comparison videos with everything from Shocks to Aero Mods. I love that nerd stuff :)
Hey, we all love that stuff! Why else would we be here? Trust me, you’re not alone.

Nice to see a video from you again. I would like to se videos from you more often 👍
Thanks for the upload guys. Love the videos and customer service when buying products. A+ ❤️
Those trax are rc heaven! So perfect looking
"nitro buggies tend to be more forgiving on tires" they also don't thermal shutdown lol
it depends on wheter or not the piston unexpected got stuck in the cylinder 🤣
As an MTBer (mountain biker), and someone who's built a coupke pretty small trails, and features, I know the work that goes into dirt jumps and trails/tracks (in this case), and it KILLS me to see the RC track that dry, to the point where it's all cracked and hardened by the sun.
Probably the pit molasses in the track for high grip. Or low watering.
It kills me to see Hoover Dam and Lake Mead so low. And I don't even live in the affected States.
@@fromthebackofmymind I feel ya there

Yes, and the tires on a Corolla will also outlast the tires on a race car.

@Isaac You drive a toy, not a real race car.
No one needs that negativity.
If it’s a toy if it’s hobby grade whatever. It’s cheap fun and the 144001 still fly’s.
Great Vid ! Thanks for putting the temperature into °c as well (it helps for those on the European Continent :) :) ) Oh, great cooling system for the car by the way :) :) :)
After seeing what less than 10min of running does...junk. there has got to be better? No wonder a sponsor is a must have in this sport 😂
Gotta pay to play. That is, until a trend of spec tire rules takes root.
In these dry, hot and abrasive conditions, no tire can survive, but some options are much better than others.
-Brett
Great music.. really atmospheric..!
Any chance of a spec Slash video series? I ask because I'm fairly new to the hobby and that's what I have. Your videos are great and quite helpful.👍
I second this! Oval racing spec slash
Good luck to you my friend!
I just started myself!
@@mhoovair89 thank you, you as well!
Spec slash typically means you can't change anything accept maybe tires. There's not a whole lot of content to cover there
@@hinsie4268 stock slash you can change a lot here.
I'd love a just racing video
Awesome video ! Love videos like this . Informative information for racing 👍
Nice Hero lap Brett!
please can we have another nitro video

i don't race but interesting video and well made.
Good driving also
i love amain
We race on a quarter scale concrete oval in Indy. Just ordered some Raw Speed long wears for these races. Hope it works.
Excellent video ty
Finally a proper comparison!!!
anyone ever tell you that you look like biff tannen from back to the future...?
i dont know much about racing but i feel like not having to change tires during a long race would be nice
Question. Since the tires are not pneumatic, is it possible to use different foam inserts to change dynamic resistance to the tread face? Your test was identical foam inserts.
Yes, that is possible and a tuning aid some people use.
-Brett
I like new tires
do you know when Amain will have better shipping option for canadA?

Sir can I ask why those big brands such as arrma or traxxas don’t include lipo?
Because LiPo's included with cars inquire a fee when shipped, and a vehicle is shipped many times; from the manufacturer to the distributor; from the distributor to the hobby shop; from the hobby shop to the customer. That is three times the shipment is charged an extra fee because of the LiPo battery. Another thing is most r/c people have their own batteries and don't want to pay extra for a car because it includes a battery they do not want. Hope that explains it.

do another rtr to racer series. :)
What, which car? Tell me! We want to too

@@AMain_Hobbies My top choices would be a rustler 2wd, slash 4x4, arrma 6s/3s line any car. That would be mega! :)
Why this buggy have problem whit temperature. The racers who uses setups like this runing 10 or 15 minutes.
But how long does a normal tyres last? Is it enough to last a whole race without replacing a set? Those good brand tyres are expensive here
Long wear aren’t nearly as sticky, and last longer due to the compound being harder. Short life will give you far better sticky and grip, yet last much shorter. I learned this on real cars the hard way. Hence why I’d drive on soft tread on my performance cars, BMWs, and an older Porsche I had way back.
Everyone it talking about getting long life out of there tires but a can't seem to get one session out of tires before they blow out or rip apart
