How do you feel about them? I usually run in wet wooded areas, often wet and muddy as well

I've been trying to get a set of Landmines for months, they always seem to be out of stock. I'm lucky I bought the Tusks when I did, they seem to have gone out of stock as well.

Everything that's any good is about impossible to get anymore it seems like . I have found a few things but going on Google and put in what I'm looking for . I e bought a lot of stuff from different hobby shops when I can't find it . I like the ones you got tho . Look nice on the Phoenix also . 🤟

So far my 2 favorites on my Ecto are the Hyrax and the Proline Trenchers, especially for rocks and concrete.

Definitely better sidewall grip with the Tusks. The Hunks also load up with mud more easily than the Tusks, when I would have thought the opposite would be true. The Tusks are I think the better tire, but Lil Yella does amazing on the Hunks, thankfully.

Hey CC , just wanted to suggest the Jconcepts JCO3053-02 Ruptures. I've used these on the Element Ecto and the Axial 4ws Capra with excellent results. Thank you.....

While I think the Hunks are great on the Ecto, I would say I prefer the Tusks overall. Like, if I were buying another set (whenever they come back in stock) it would be Tusks.

The wheels are the good ol' Injora steelies, usually around $33 for a set of four, and fairly heavy at over 100g each. The rig breakdown video for Lil Yella should be up today, so you can get a closer look at the running gear.

I'm still running the included JConcepts medium foams in my Tusks, and at the worst they're a =tiny= bit soft. If the gorgeous Phoenix body wasn't so heavy, those foams would probably be absolutely perfect. The only time I notice the foams is on =really=steep sidehilling, there is soft sidewall roll that could be better controlled. But I don't know if it's enough to warrant buying a whole set of new foams.

@@CrawlerCanyon Thanks for taking the time to answer 👊

That's a tough call. Out of the box, the Phoenix is certainly more capable, but is gonna cost you about double the cost of an Ecto just to get it going-- it needs three servos and brushless is pretty much a requirement (as it only fits 540 can motors and weighs over 7lbs.) The Ecto is... okay as an RTR, but comes to life with some simple mods. In my most recent upload, the Ecto went head-to-head with the Phoenix-- but my Ecto isn't exactly 100% Ecto anymore, as it has dig and servo-on-axle. So I guess both. But buy the Ecto first so you have something to drive while you build and equip the Phoenix. :)

@@CrawlerCanyon thanks man! Appreciate your insights! I already have servos from earlier rc’s so I just need to buy a castle system for it.

If it makes you feel any better, it's long since been remedied. Heck, those tires and rims aren't even on the Ecto anymore-- the tires are on a TRX-4, and the rims are currently out of service.

The Tusks still stand out as one of the best all-around Class 2 tires you can buy-- and the Class 1s, despite being 3.93" instead of 4.19", are excellent as well. The Hunk is a tire of more limited utility, in my experience. It works better on lighter rigs, but still suffers (again, IMO) from a lack of side bite.

@@CrawlerCanyon thanks I was looking at the hyrax but they are a bit out of my budget when you include dual stage foams. These tusks seem to preform well with the foams they come with. That’s a huge plus for me. Thanks for sharing your experience and insight

​@@CrawlerCanyon what about for my scx10 3 base camp? 5 lbs

@@user-fy5by5xp7n I'm running Hunks on my Base Camp builder's kit rig. They're doing great. The Hunk does seem to work a bit better on a lighter rig.

@@CrawlerCanyon so now I'm back to decisions lol I had decided on the tusks. Is the jconcepts foam that comes with them ok? I'm in the south and will basically only use when warm out

This comment makes no sense.
