Crawler Canyon Presents: Injora Pro Comp + Silicone Performance Optimization 

Hoping for some more VRD content, waiting for mine to be delivered today or tomorrow, it’s now 1:07am in Germany 😅

For what it’s worth, the 1.0 version of this tire which came out about a year ago is still the best tire I’ve ever ran on an SCX24. Obviously they’ve scaled up that performance. What an impressive tire/insert combo!

I'm speechless. That was unbelievable.

Great video! Thank you taking us along for the journey and sharing the process of taking the Injora inserts to the next level!

Totally awesome love this place ❤

That is the best set of tires and inserts yet for you.

I am recovering from all the black Friday sales. But I had to order a set of those Injora inserts that I want to try in the hunks. Amazing customization and result. Thank you again Mr. Canyon

Glad the inserts arrived. now im gonna have to cut mine up.

Great vid....I will definitely do what you suggested.

Great work tuning these canyon man 👍👍super interesting to see a company like injora start innovating.

Great Job! love the reality of how good these are on a budget. I just saw their swamp claw, I m gonna have try those.

It was like you were driving with nothing but telepathy... I've ordered these tires already, the inserts will follow. Thank you for what you do. Cheers

Excellent video.. I have a TRX-4 Sport (3 years), with about 1 hour run time on the back lawn.. Weights just a tad under 7 lbs with the stock tires and wheels.. Time to get more serious so I ordered the "green" inserts, along with the "comp pins" and some metal wheels. Also ordered a Fusion SE 1800 kv. and a metal servo on axle adapter.. Gonna try with the stock servo if it needs upgrade then I will get one.. I may also order the under-drive ring and pinion before spring.. Hoping all goes well with some good results.. They are building an indoor crawling facility just down the street so that will be nice during the winter months..

I want to come to California and meet Mr Canyon man you just seem like my type of people man you remind me of a bunch of the old heads I've been raised with

Thanks...however I literally installed mine 2 hours ago....I guess I will have to take them back apart & cut them. Appreciate the videos. I also shared it on the Injora Fan Group on FB

oh yeah. HOORAY pooch tires is great to see, soft light like always. 17:32 contrast change amazing, into the change to other camera both look better then first part. Pushing towards compy level forward grip :) this rig weight looks like it might actually like soft on rear as well for everything but sidehill. tires/inserts deserving of a light weight rig (sub 5lb portal rig) 1 wide wrap sidewall or both sidewalls and contact patch of poly on a cut soft should fill other tires better.

I'm just waiting on my inserts and I have the tires already. Looks lIke I will be modifying my inserts before I even run them as I will need them softer in my 6lb trucks. Thanks for the tip and this modification is seemingly the way to go.

This is my type of area here I love the tinkering killer job brother

Let's freaking go dude look at how good it done on the staircase look at that bro I've seen a lot of trucks have to go to the left and then come back to the right to get up there

Stopped went and bought thanks!

31:50 This combo is out of this world!

Awesome Tips my Friend!!! I still waiting for mines for the Wife RC (RGT EX86010-CJ JEEP "WILLYS") that is almost 4kg heavy!!!

I just ordered a set for the Capra and plan to cut the inserts to soft

I'm currentky testing the silicons in the RC4WD M T. Baja Claws TTC, where the fit absolutly perfect, and in the Louise CR Griffin, which are the same as the Duratrax Scalers; they fit also good in them. I think the fitness will be good in most 1.9" Louise CR and Duratrax Tires.

Your nailing the camera angles

Great review, bought a set off your weblinks.

Thank you for your many test, I'm ordering theses tires as I'm writing this, they are available on ebay, and I already have the inserts :)

Where is the HELL YEAH BUTTON. THAT WAS SWEET

Time to get to snippin!

Da combo dat makes ya wanna rebuild da whole Canyon.

Now, of course we need to see them in the Klerms.

Still waiting on mine lol klerms for the win

If your testing for most capable tire? Your head to head testing should include these inserts with other tires. Great video and now I must go spend more money once again do to your FN videos.

It's great to see this much performance out of a combo at any price range, and even better considering the cost. I might be alone here, but if you're getting moist 'cause a pin tire shows the most forward grip I'd just say, "yeah, that's the whole point of them". They are typically reserved for the most capable rigs and are banned by SORRCA except unlimited classes or whatever. Now, if they do the same magic to a non-Injora tire like the Tusk or KLRM, then we're cookin' with gas. Love the content.

Maybe you should send a copy of this to Injora because that was like BAM! their R&D dept could use the help😂 as always thanks.

Just received my Blue silicone inserts Saturday (Happy New Year! BTW) I of course ordered them 3 days before the Green inserts were made available. Just finished my first “soft”. Think I’m do 2 “mediums” for the rear and then see if I feel “softs” all the way around is necessary for my rig. Any plans to compare the “soft” to the new Greens? Thanks again for the informative pseudoscience! 👍🏼

Nice experiment! Thanks for the awesome vid. Curious on how they do in tusk or megalithics.

I took mine out today with stock foams and they did so good but not better than a rupture on my rock, but very close

Think I’d cut the outside ring completely off. Like your method too maybe cut and snip. My rigs lite sans axles. But these are cheap too. Vs the big boys

Having not watched the whole video yet, I think I'd go outer and middle. Then again, I prefer a very soft outer, and a stiffer inner, to keep some of that sidewall stability. But that's just me guessing, and going from what I know works in my 3D printed ones.

I believe that's one of the hardest pull-ups you could do is if you're really vertical and you got your front tires over a ledge and your rear tires are under ledge it's like the hardest thing to get over not considering the breakover angle also but just the way the tires are setting you're setting perfectly in the wheelbase you know

Loving this page so far, very informative and well spoken, new to the 1/10 crawler… just picked up Scx10iii Basecamp… not sure if I should go in on Proline BFG Krawler Predator or Injora Rock terrains… and would these inserts be good for proline!? Thanks

If they make them for the scx6 at a reasonable price I’ll order a set up quick. Thanks for the content! 👍🏻

Look at the rear driver tire house smashed it is underneath of that rock that is a giant climb right there you can tell just by looking at it

I have experienced the same no matter hot or cold with these type of tires these pen tires And now this is on smaller scale stuff I don't run 110 not right now I do have one but I don't run it a lot because with my smaller scale I could take it with me to work and do stuff operate on it fix it and then even test it well I'm sometimes working

Just when you think the insert/tire combination can't get any better, you manage to pull it off. Once again I am really impressed with how these Injora inserts are performing. Dare we ask if it's possible to improve it any further? It's really interesting to see you doing this cut modification to this insert. In the testing I did to develop my own inserts, I hit upon this offset vertical rib design type as well. You get better conformity and better overall ground pressure, much better flexibility and evenness in how the insert and tire work together, assuming there are concentric rings in the insert design, if the vertical ribs are staggered. In some of my testing, I even staggered them across the width of the insert as well, which had an interesting effect of its own. What I discovered, and had a lot of trouble overcoming, is the notching/stepping/ratcheting effect you get with the remaining ribs in the outermost ring of the tire, where they apply uneven ground pressure when the tire slips on hard and uneven obstacles. It exacerbates wheel hop and reduces traction. This is an issue I worked really hard to resolve in my own project. The goal is even ground pressure, good compliance and flexibility with a variable rate of compression, excellent sidewall support and as little sidewall collapse as possible when sidehilling. That's a tall order for any insert. Ultimately I did not use this kind of design in my final prototype, but I did do significant design testing with it before eventually selecting another design. This was a very promising idea, though. it's really exciting to see it working so well in these Injoras.

This combo is absurd, how can it be sooo gooood. Now I want to have a rig ("comp looking") specifically to run this combo (im not a fan of comp pins on a full fender truck, and unluckily I dont have +20 rigs🤣)

BEAST👽👊....KAPLAH!!!

I have a hard body phoenix Has brass inner clamping rings Hub weights and brass hubs And is running steel bumpers and sliders and bed cage with full heavy interior And it sits at about 9-10 lbs

Sorry I’m late Exocage is live

Is there one of my favorite tires in the 2418 scale but I do modify the tire I cut every other row on each side staggering them from each other

Looks like this is killer set up. Have you tried these in the KLRMS?

I think I’d rather buy the blues and tweak them like u did to make them fit a rig. Rather than buy a softer pair and then have less options 🤷🏼. Great video

Without even watching I can tell you now I feel like these tires are going to hook up like no tomorrow because how good they already done and then you put a killer ass insert in them they're really going to get with it

Damn guess I need to try these.... But do I get the blue inserts and trim or try the new softer green inserts on my stripped TRX4 sport?

I would assume for heavier rigs...use the red inserts and perform surgery as described by our fearless leader. One bay at a time until the magic happens. Only wish Injora would make these for CT's.

You should try the reds same way?

That's exactly what I said Orange

Lol 😂 my TRX4 defender doesn't even have much brass and I still got it to 11.0lbs without the battery.

Do I tan my uncut ones a few times and pulled them to cut and the inner ring ribs are now all at an angle and flex now😅

It'll be interesting to see how the cut inserts work with Fusks. Are they a suitable size? That current setup belongs on the Losi i reckon

please test silicone performance optimization + Injora klmrs

How do you think these inserts will fit in a stock redcat ascent tires with injora rims?

My Ecto body ZOKU base camp 10ii just slammed my VRD in a comp. The SCX carbon pro takes on the winner

Issmssd. Lol. You crack me up

Tusks with these pls..

Hello, can you please tell me the with of your 1.9 wheels you are using. I do not want the inserts to slide around inside...thank you for your very informative videos 👌👍

That is huge to say that they're better than the test cuz that's everybody talks about that tire you know and like I don't know I've seen you run the test and I've seen you run these I think these are better you know I've seen a lot of tires pull over the Slick Rock but these just drove over it like it wasn't even there and then like the Montana thing that's huge you can tell by looking at the front end of the truck just how tall it is

I wonder how those inserts will do in the J concepts green megalithic tread, have you tried that combo?

Just doing another video on these and I am mentioning you and the Canyon and this hack, oh and the Redcat Accent. A British RU-vid influencer has just said "The Redcat Accent may be the best crawler of 2023" Well, I was not going to let that stand! Full details on the video I will upload tomorrow.

Okay. So how do the tires compare with HP rovers? Or the non-crawler tires we were having an existential crisis over? How do I get a set of those extended rear links for my SE? I can't make some don't have the equipment. Does it it get hung up more with longer wheel base?

Hello mister Canyon. Do u have a video on the cut & sipe of the canyon trails??

I got the Injora Pro Comp tires and the Injora Silicone (green) incserts. My TRX4 Sport weights 7.75 lbs.. When sitting the front tires squat and have a 2 inch contact of tread to surface.. My question is - do you think the inserts are too soft and offer too much squat..?

Would this combo do well on other surfaces? Great vid as always.

Hmmm looks like those flat proof tires. Hows the compound? Might be fun to just run the insert with no tire at all. #weeklydumb

Why would you trim it at the wheel instead of at the tread? Seems like trimming the outer ribs would be more effective than trimming the inner most ribs. I don’t want the tire collapsing at the wheel instead of the tread area.

If someone hasn’t already said it, put them in the new Trepadors that you already tested?

So, you're saying this won't work well for my 3.4LB Mini Comp Crawler on 1.9's?

Did you mess and cut the Fimonda too?!

28:50 I've noticed it a couple of times now, this camera has an echo on it...

Have you lost any of the pins yet? I’ve only ran these tires twice, all low speed/no beans, and I just noticed I’m already starting to lose a couple pins. As a whole, they seem stout, but apparently individually they can straight up leave the chat pretty easily.

Better than ruptures?

All my lcg's are like 2.2 kg to 2.5kg , must be a lot of brass to reach 4kg

What just happened to the audio it's like 3/4 of the way through the video and the audio just started like huge Echo

Can I have them for Xmas please 🙏😂🎉

Would u be interested in inserts I’ve been selling them like crazy in the last month

Purple…I say purple

Not if you flip the bird to the “industry”. It’s the very reason I consider myself a free crawler. No group of bought and paid for goobers is going to tell me what I and can’t use on my rig to accomplish my goals. 😎

Not sure why you took out the inner ribbing, there is a reason dual stage foams has a closed inner cell... removing the inner ribs will make it perform like stock, your front grip is not that good. what works is the cheat pin type tires your using.
