Once again a great tip for those of us who are new to this hobby!
Your 101 videos like this have been an enormous help for me to get into this hobby and learn the tips and tricks! Thanks for all the stuff you put out!
I love the full transparency in your videos. The extra mile you go to grab a different sets of wheels to show us all different situations you could run into is commendable. I think I’m going to try what I’ve done on my Scx10 gladiator and run bead-locks with no foams.
Thanks a million from the state to the north!
I've been tinkering too but with no foams and no vents and adding bb's in the tires ......
Definitely a great video on vents and foams I learned alot thnx Adam
I saw a post just the other day of someone filling their tires with water! I may do a video of completely unorthodox methods of filling tires. I think it would be entertaining and informative!
I vented with a small pair of diagonal cutters. I just pinched the tire and made two small snips and the holes look great and round. It really helped the tires conform to obstacles.
That’s a great idea!
Is there any issue with water collecting in the tires causing corrosion?
@@user-ji8ls9dr9fyou shouldn’t take vented tires through water. The foams will soak up the water and deteriorate the foam not to mention it likely wouldn’t perform the same with the additional weight.
cut your foams in a star pattern , with stiffer springs in rear will climb much better , also wrap inside of rim with small strip off pantyhose and spray with 3m scotchguard it'll let air in &out but the scotchguard will keep out the water !!!
These are some awesome pointers! The pantyhose and scotchguard one is genius!
I like no foam no holes it’s kinda hard to get the right pressure and it does flatten over time but the results are amazing
Really appreciate you came back with the apples to apples. Excellent comparison. 💯 improvement.
Thanks for watching!
I’d like to see more on optimization of small tires.
Can you please do a video on foam setup, configuration and tweaking. Interested on this topic!
Thanks, really enjoy your videos
Absolutely! And thanks for watching!
Awesome tip with the leather punch. I have one laying around in the shed and never thought about it.
Glad it helped!
I don’t have room for an indoor course. I generally run in a riverbed. I will probably try no foams, unvented for out doors. Maybe vent a set to run in my yard.
Very informative video sir. It answered many of the questions I had about venting. Thank you!
Glad it helped, thanks for watching!
Think I’m gonna try venting some taller soft tires and use smaller foams. Thanks for info!!
I do that pretty often and it works great!
Thanks for the video. Ordered a leather punch and some Scramblers to try out.
You’re going to love the vented scramblers. They grip so hard!
Question and possibly video suggestion that came from a debate a friend and I are having. Given identical setups and tire selection with beadlock wheels; which performs better, an unvented tire without foam vs. tire with venting and a soft foam?
I’m on it! I have an unvented set of trail kings and stamped steel wheels on hand. I can bang this out and solve your debate 👍🏻
i was just looking for something like this! cheers!
Perfect! I hope it helps!
Yeah I can hear it, I haven’t vented none of my 1/24 scale, some of my 1/10 scale’s I have
The 1/10’s probably benefit a lot from the venting because they’re heavier I imagine
Ive been curious in trying a new method so you dont have holes. Use a smaller foam insert, compress tires with a hose clamp or rubber bands on your beadlock, tighten beadlock, release tension on tire. This would create negative pressure and add squishyness
Interesting. You dont just end up with flat spots on the tire?
That's what im curious about, havent put it to practice yet. You could possibly use a clamp with a polystyrene sheet to even the pressure so as not to concave the tire. It would be a fine line to make it work correctly
Excellent video. Looking forward to checking out your other crawler videos. Subscribed
Thanks for watching! Please let me know if there is anything else you would like to see on the channel
A good video idea that I think would be a great video and would be helpful would be an indoor course overview
I would enjoy that as well! Great idea 👍🏻
I vented my hydrax proline tires, because the Injora beadlocks were airtight. I found without the air pressure and no foams it makes them incredibly squishy and sticky
I can imagine! The hyrax is an excellent tire. I've always run mine with no foams but unvented. I bet they work amazing vented!
Thank you for sharing, I watch your video on the Injora steel wheels that can be reversed and I bought some and got the tires today and couldn’t figure out what was wrong and then I figured out and I’m off to buy the punch tool to fix it. But the bead is awesome
Thanks for watching! Those wheels are tricky at first but they work great
Hello from southeast alaska how's it going bro I hope you are having a good day
Can you make a video on how to vent your real vehicle tires
That would be an expensive video 😅
I don't have a set yet but I am looking to get a set of the scramblers.The trail kings are nice and soft but the scramblers look way more pliable and seem to look aired down (wider footprint) while just sitting on the table.
I love the scramblers. They’re a great all around tire and so soft and squishy.
I’m currently experimenting with venting too! Great timing.
Question- have you tried venting on the inside sidewall of a tire, between the tread and wheel? Would love to see you cover that. Same ability to displace air, out of the direct path of small water, sand, mud, and can be plugged trivially with a piece of tape on the side if you know you’ll be driving somewhere messy.
Thoughts?
That's a great suggestion and I think I may try that on my next set of tires to do a comparison. It makes good sense logically; the hole would not have direct exposure to the elements unless you submerged/buried it. And the hole wouldn't be big enough to compromise sidewall strength. I'll give it a shot next time!
Just got some 56mm rock terrains and running them on some treal wheels unvented , but yall are making me want to try venting them !
@@jimbo4203 you know you want that tire squish 😂
When my tires spin all 4 look bent and spin so weird 😐 the tires are so soft and are not vented yet so they hold shape or do weird things to make it look like all my axles are bent or rims idk what's going on
What tires are you running? They sound ultra squishy!
Same for me. My tires are the injora extreme mud Terrains. Maybe i installed the wrong but the kinda wobble areiund when drivimg
Hey, what about when using Flub RC’s Slyme Ballz?
Love the slymeballz. I run them in a lot of my big tires now
@@CapeCrawlers do you vent the tires the same way with them?
I normally vent my wheels that way I don’t have to worry about a stick or something getting caught in the whole & ripping the tire. Probably not as big of a deal on SCX24 that run inside most of the time.
Do you just put one hole in each wheel like the factory ones?
I drill 2 holes 180 degrees from one another on the back half of the wheel. I do the same in the beadlock center ring but don’t worry to much about trying to align the wheel holes & the ring holes. The holes are approx 2mm
Can you take the foam out? Does that make a big difference?
Yep! I find that is a good approach for smaller tires but the bigger tires get too floppy without inserts I feel
What if you do not vent and seal the wheels squished similar to airing down in a real truck
They get flat spots pretty severely with that approach. Looks like it has square wheels!
Can you vent tires and rims on the same setup thanks for posting some awesome videos keep up the hard work
Thank you! Yes, you could vent the wheels if you wanted to. Some folks prefer that because then you don’t need to vent tires.
@@CapeCrawlers I guess what I'm saying is can you run vented tires and Wheels on the same setup
@@dennisrynders2261 venting both the wheels and tires? Sure, I don’t see why not. I’ve run some of my vented tires on vented wheels and they work just fine. Is that what you meant?
@@CapeCrawlers thanks so much I'm brand new to the hobby trying to build some awesome crawlers like you do
@@dennisrynders2261 welcome to the hobby! Enjoy!!
I want to ask, is it good idea to get out that absorber (if Im saying it good) from wheel? It doesnt help?
Do you mean the foam inside the tire?
Great information and demonstration. Do you have a link for the scrambler tires on the JLU
Thank you! Here are the scramblers: store.rc4wd.com/Scrambler-Offroad-10-Scale-Tires_p_5142.html?gclid=CjwKCAjwt7SWBhAnEiwAx8ZLaoBvOc6EL8Cnjj7y7vCKwytd8KUtoQ62rDfiG2PKkOycV8xgordL9hoCii8QAvD_BwE
@@CapeCrawlers thanks I appreciate it
In the scrambler tires did you have foams in them if so what kind
Yes. I ran the crawler innovation soft foams. It was/is a great setup!
What tires are those on the jlu
Rc4wd scramblers
What battery’s do you use I’ve been having trouble finding a good battery I’ve already gone through 4 of them.
I use the 900mah batteries, can’t recall the brand. The run time is great but they are a tight fit in the c10 and gladiator if you’re on the stock chassis. They’re about 3X as thick as the stock batteries
Where to you purchase the tire and wheel combo??
On the jeep jl
The JL is running RC4WD Scrambler tires and RC4WD stamped steel beadlocks. I got both of them from my local hobby store, but you can buy them direct from RC4WD.
what are the tires and wheels on the yellow jeep?
They are RC4WD scramblers
Venting tires or venting rim ? Do you think one is overall better to do?
Lately I have been favoring vented rims. I actually drill a hole in the ring and that seems to do the job. I don't know if there's any advantage to either approach, but it feels good not to punch holes in brand new tires!
@@CapeCrawlers I appreciate all the help and information you bring with your videos. I also appreciate you taking time to reply. Keep up the great work.
@@CapeCrawlers so just one hole in the ring does the job? Would definitely prefer to drill things I can hide! 😂
Why not vent the inner sidewall so it's hidden?
No reason, just personal preference I suppose
What hub was that and how was it connected to the wheel?
On which one, the JLU? That has Mofo RC heavy brass hexes on +5mm axles. They’re a tight fit but they do work with the stamped steel beadlocks
@@CapeCrawlers thanks ! Just ordered the scramblers and stamped bead locks. Gonna have to look the hexes and axles up
Dremmeled my rims like the scx24 stock
I am finding more and more that venting the wheels is the way to go.
do you still un foam???
Yes. I like the crawler innovations soft micro foams. They’re ultra soft. Or I’ll use a cut down or smaller foam from a smaller tire
I vent my wheels. Not tire. ???
That’s your choice, nothing wrong with that. I know a lot of people who prefer to vent the wheels. I just can’t bring myself to drill holes in my wheels!
Saw a guy drill his foam to get a similar result.
I'm experimenting with that as we speak! Using hole punches to vent the foam itself.
Why do you cook your half of your head off on the camera just a question I've been watching you for a while I didn't know why
Nervous tick I think. I've tried to improve it in later videos. I also often have the rig next to me on the bench off camera and I find I look at it between sentences
