@street rc, I'm also about to build an ET48.3. I feel the same. The mx38 badlands are too big. I'm looking for the lightest, closest to actual 'truggy' tire diameter. I've seen someone use Talion 6s wheels but they didn't leave feed back. those tires look about the right size and are plenty aggressive.please let me know what tire you go with and why. thanks
Yea I added loctite to the screws that go into the replaceable plastic hub. I wanted something that would hold better than nothing but not be super glue tight bc I have lost screws in the past on those hubs
Did you feel like the compound is to hard on the belted tire? I bought the belted trenchers and felt like the compound of the tread was so hard they actually felt slick in the grass vs my original trenchers. Just curious if anyone else has felt this way?
MotorsRC4me well tbh they are good tires but the fact is they don’t balloon so you’ll lose that extra top end. I took them off and used the stock tires for now to compare
@@Hittin2thabass yeah I did think that, my kraton struggles to run 60mph without lifting off when ballooning over a field. I'd be happy to run 50mph with the added stability. Many thanks
Stock 2.0 rims and the mx38 tires. My servo went out and I been running my xmaxx and Maxx but it should have the 2.0 servo soon and have it back running
Yea it definitely slows me down and there is too much side bite on the belted ones as well. Makes any truck that I put them on flip over. I’ve used them on my 2.0 my 3.3 revo and my Maxx and same result. Now they are really nice when it’s super sloppy muddy tho. They slow you down but it’s not a drastic difference. You aren’t losing 10+ mph or something but it’s slower. I will always keep them bc they are nice backups
246g original Badlands
392g Stock e-revo 2.0
456g Non-belted badlands
418g Belted badlands (new MX38)
HELLO THERE RAINBOW RC WILL THIS MX38 WORK ON TRAXXAS WIDE MAXX V2 STOCK GEARING ?????

Mike Van I went with the belted mx38s. They are smaller and lighter than the regular onea
At 3:46 what was the tire name all the way to the left and what’s the hex size
That’s the proline badland mx38s non belted
Hex size is 17mm for all the tires
From left to right is badlands mx38s, mx38s belted, talon 2.0 and the regular badlands
Nice tires. When you said you are using loctite, do you mean using loctite on your wheel nut hubs so the tire doesn't come off so easily?
Yea I added loctite to the screws that go into the replaceable plastic hub. I wanted something that would hold better than nothing but not be super glue tight bc I have lost screws in the past on those hubs
@@Hittin2thabass From what I understand, loctite is not designed to be used in plastic parts. That's why I never do that 🤔

Yea they are not as grippy as I would’ve thought
Is there any of the OG size badlands belted ?
Uh I don’t believe. I could be wrong as they are releasing new stuff all the time. They have the smaller trencher belted now that I just realized.
@@Hittin2thabass ok cool thanks! Im looking for belted ones for a truggy im building, but these new belted mx look BIG ! More for MT's
Street Rc yea it’s more of a monster truck tire . Imo the original badlands are too small for the e revo.
would I get the tire without the rim and would it fit the original Revo-rim?
I think you can get them tire only and im sure they will fit. They are about the same size
Have you used the belted badlands much? How do they compare to normal wheels?

Are the belted mx38 worth it or should I stick with the stock wheels because I found out that belted tires are slower cause they don’t expand
For the e revo 2.0 I’d recommend the unbelted mx38s tbh
@@Hittin2thabass Thanks. What wheels do you run on your erevo now?
Stock 2.0 rims and the mx38 tires. My servo went out and I been running my xmaxx and Maxx but it should have the 2.0 servo soon and have it back running
@@Hittin2thabass Do the belted tires slow you down that much? is that why your running the non belted or are their others reasons?
Yea it definitely slows me down and there is too much side bite on the belted ones as well. Makes any truck that I put them on flip over. I’ve used them on my 2.0 my 3.3 revo and my Maxx and same result. Now they are really nice when it’s super sloppy muddy tho. They slow you down but it’s not a drastic difference.

whats all the white specs on the scale?
I don’t see anything on the scale
I bought a set of non belted, and 3 of them wobbled out of the package.
They don’t come balanced
the belted tires are awful , I litterally traded them for an unbelted set straight across and im so happy I did !!!
Yea I don’t use the belted set unless I need to. They are good tires and all but the grip the sides too much so you roll over
