Crawler Tire Insert Comparison 

Awesome info. I'm new to crawling. Got my hands on 2 stage foams & the green 3ds. I'll be doing trail mostly & wet stuff. I can see the benefits of the 2stage though. Thanks for the heads up on not letting the rig sit on the tires.

Depending on what tpu you are using there are settings to change to make softer printed inserts. Infill needs to be set to 3 percent with gyroid pattern. Sometimes even 2 percent if 95a tpu. Also some more very important settings are tp change wall loops to 1 instead of 2, make sure thin wall detection is on and random seam postion. That will 100 percent change those stiff 3d printed ones you made.

If you have any hard ones I'll buy them. I want my tires not to balloon at all. Not interested in crawling but I think they'd be helpful with high speed stability. If you can print then the full with of the tire that'd be even better.

DB Hobby, u need to try his inserts ! They're far superior to anything on the market

If I may be so bold as to offer you some advice about your video presentation...first start by gathering up everything you are going to be covering. Next align the stuff from start to finish (very linear, no back tracking unless it's necessary for comparison to earlier stuff). Finally you don't have to read from a script but at least jot down every talking point about every item you are going to be describing. Look at the items individually and try to write down every bit of information you think is necessary for your viewers and be precise (just the facts/trim the fat). Oh, one last thing that might help would be to have some energy in your presentation. If you don't sound too excited, why should your audience be to see the video? You don't have to be an over the top, zany goofball constantly bouncing all over your studio/filming location but definitely have an energy level greater than that donkey in Winnie the Pooh. Please take what I've typed above as constructive criticism and not a personal atrack because I believe you have some valuable knowledge to share about the RC world and the more viewers you have, the more you can share with us.

Thanks for the work, great info. Cheers from Germany.

The Blue/White injora need to be placed in a clothes dryer on Medium heat for about 20 minutes for them to re-form into their original shape, they come very compressed and disfigured when they are packaged tightly.

Awesome informative video!!! Definitely picking up the squids next!!! Absolutely loved the YZZR I have so excited to try these Squid!!!

Great info and great video buddy new sub from me 🌟💯👌👍🏻

Tires, inserts and weight down low.

Good info, but 20 min too long, TY

Thanks for making this! Definitely helps push me in the right direction.

I bet a heat gun would bring them back to original form

Running the injora dual stage foams on my scx10.3 and love them. I run flubs in my 24s but for 10 a pair I am impressed with the injora ones. Blues are smaller tires. Reds are for bigger tires. Stiff inner soft outer.

Good comparison video. There have been many inserts that have come out over the past few years since "Just Scalin" released his in the UK. One thing you highlighted is that inserts made with higher quality TPU (like 3Bros, Squid, and DBHobby uses) really makes a huge difference. That particularly TPU is way more expensive but the quality can't be beat. Inserts made from cheaper TPU feels more "plastic" and gives a stiffer feel that is more challenging to use when competing. Also, it was great to mention that you can tune the inserts by changing infill. I know DBHobby offers that as well and it was good to know Squids does too. Thanks for taking the time to do the video.

Just receive the injora green, already have the pink fimonda

I am running both 3BRC and Flubber Stuffers. From my experience both have worked outstanding for me. The Anti-Foams in my Scx6 turned it into a very capable crawl.

Im putting Flubber stuffer softs in the front of my Gspeed V4 as im watching this, was running dual stage prolines front and back, still using the dual stage in the rear hope to go try it out this week, thanks for the vid.

Nice vid. I feel like the dual stage is better than the yzzr. Currently running dual stage+ hairbun on rear and the front is just plan dual stage foam.

Theres many a 3d Foam out there. JFoams are the inserts I run.

Your 3d prints look great though, and tpu isnt the easiest to print with

Crawler Innovation is the foam tuning kings. They so many options it scares people. You can get perfect airdown with your own rig.

I fully agree. Tire traction is the most important thing on a crawler. I spend endless outs with *tire mods* and inserts.

YZZR has been taking the win all over the country. I run them in every competition truck and have been helping me podium and get 1st in a few events recently. The newest super soft is amazing. Definitely a competition insert.

Nice dude! Great rundown on em all. I haven’t gone this route but I’d def like to try them.

You forgot my inserts that i make but they are new to the market from when you posted this

I prefer the SL3D squid inserts myself

I have had really good luck with hair buns believe or not. I use the x large and fit most tires and conform to rock's perfectly. Although I have a set of ruptures on the way and think xl hair buns may be little to small but we will see. Thanks for video and do agree way to much hype in the yzzr inserts

Good info, thanks for the review of these.

Thank you for the side by side comparison of a few I have been looking at. Appreciate your opinions and info in the comments.

Should 2.2 proline tires for crawlers be ported ?

Thanks for the review! The SL3D inserts fit like a glove and work great. Better yet, Neal can custom design them to fit any tire or application. Great product!

Are tire insert needed on mini crawlers or is tire small enough that it doesnt really need them?

Any tips for getting the insert to stay centered? I feel like mine get pushed in all the time.

💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The flubs are super heavy as well. So if you're weight conscious, they aren't for you haha. They perform okay, but they are now on my ten pound trail truck.

Awesome Review my Friend! Very cool and Usefull! 🐼👍🏻

I put the soft YZZR inserts on my SCX10 Pro with Gmade 1904 tires and was amazed how it improved the capability. I just put the YZZR super soft inserts in the same tire and I'd say I have 25% more capability over the soft inserts. My truck is 5.8 pounds. I have the 3BRC on my SCX6 and they are nice, but a bit expensive. I love the Steady Foams on the SCX6 as well. Great review....thanks for sharing.

I just ordered a set for my class 1 rig. This will be my first comp truck

Ive yet to find anything that works as well as the antifoams

I just got my set of YZZR’s and also was disappointed….way too stiff.

Flubber stuffers are really good.

👍

No hairbuns ??

the strange hand movements killed the video
