GRP 1/5th Scale Tires Explained 

Hi, will these 1/5 tyres be able to handle 150+ mph ? Planning on top speed runs

@@Aladinscave the best I know for rubber are Grp 1/8 rated at 130 mph. Softer compounds should be used for winters like s1-s3 and s5-s7 for summers. I don’t know the ratings on 1/5 but most probably the same. Same goes for 1/5 softer compounds winter and harder compounds summer. Obviously 1/5 is a bigger tire so more traction but probably will have to sand down the body for them to fit. For top speeds the best are foams always. Best include Bsr, contact, sweep racing. Best of the best imo are bsr. This guy did a vid explaining those just before this one check that out. 👍

@@Aladinscave also lower compounds have more traction but higher wear and higher compounds have less wear but less traction

Is this still true today? Can’t keep 1:5 GRPs together. They blow at 125mph for me.

Nice! What motor and esc you running TP power and mamba xlx2?

Just Bash It RC sells adapters to square drive.

Hi I usually answer questions sent to our website, sorry for the delay. The S5 will last longer than an S3 or S1, but the S1 and S3 will have better traction. You have to decide which is more important - traction or wear.

Hello No they won't. You would need EM Performance adapters - $59.99 which we have in stock. HobbyHeroes.com

Awesome. Thanks!

@@tomsrbruckner do you guys make the 1/5 scale adaptor for losi 8 truggy

emPerformanceProducts.com but you will need to put XO1 axels on the rear unless you want to wait for them to get the Slash adapters back in stock.

F Enix OMG thank you so much! Is it even possible to install XO-1 axles front and back on a Rustler?

Not on the front. They have some axels there that will make it work for the front.

F Enix EM sells them?

E46 G0D EM has the adapters for the slash/rustler in stock. Now you don't even need the xo1 axels

5th scale tires use a square hex that is 19mm/.75in
