Injora is finding its way into almost all our crawlers one way or another. The blue inserts are awfully stiff unless it's a heavier rig. We just started trying the green ones and they're far better for light to midweight crawlers. We're sold. Also they fit the new Toyos from Proline perfectly!

Well injora kinda seemed like goolrc, they just found generic Chinese products that sold for super cheap all over on sites like AliExpress and eBay and slapped their name on them and sold them for more. Now they seem to be coming out with their own stuff though that’s halfway decent.

@BangForYourBuckRc 7 ай бұрын

Great presentation Troy. I love how you always make a science experiment out of some of your product reviews. The biggest benefit to me for these gel inserts is that they keep the sidewall a bit more rigid than the foams and of course the lack of breakdown and deterioration you get from foams getting wet. I will be ordering a few set of the green and blues in the near future for my rigs! Thanks for the in depth review buddy! 😎👊🏼👍🏻🤗

I just traded for a Wraith a couple days ago. I know the racing side of RC (from the 90s mostly), but Im new to crawling, and I see a lot of Injora online and the first flag was how cheap some stuff was. But after digging and learning their history it seems like they are a company that has just made improvements year after year but people cant get over their early stumbles. It seems like thay have some solid products but others are still having issues. Either way its nice to see options to get upgrades that dont cost 80-100 dollars everywhere I turn. Your breakdown of tires and these 3d printed inserts is great and super helpful!

An interesting potential is wet performance. When the foams in my TRX4 get sopping wet from the river romp -- the whole rig get ALOT heavier naturally in a good loaction - - grip is improved, etc. It can be a doulbe edge sword though bogging down and eating batteries moving all that added weight. These presumably, like inflatables, would not suffer same issue as soaked foams.

Since these silicone inserts seem to increase the OD of the tires when inserted, folks who compete in Scale 1 comps may want to use tires with a smaller OD than the max 4.2"/106mm permitted in that class, just to be sure these inserts don't push the OD beyond spec.

From my experience, it’s worked better running a softer foam/anti foam in the front. My main truck is right at 5lbs and I’m running super soft anti foams in the front and soft in the rear, made by BAMF. I’ve also had really good success with 3BRC and SL3D squid inserts. I feel like the green injoras would be a good cheaper option in a lighter truck and if you spend a couple extra bucks you can get some customized inserts in the future if you want to upgrade.

The rollover with the foams is actually a good thing… that’s what the sidebiters on the sidewall are for. You are still getting good traction with the tread lugs on the sidewalls utilizing all the available tread on the contact patch. I have some 3D printers… but I’ll stick with foams. I think they wouldn’t hold up on a massive roller over. Would tumbling down a 10-20ft. hill rip up or break the plastic inserts on a heavy rig

@RoadsideRC 7 ай бұрын

Interesting thoughts! Let me take them one at a time. Sidewall: fun fact - I actually work in the 1:1 tire industry. I can 100% tell you with confidence that the sidewall is not there to accommodate rollover. With the way these tires are molded, it is similar in 1:10. Excessive rollover is never a good thing for traction. 3D printed durability: these Injora inserts are not 3D printed. They are molded from a very pliable material. There shouldn't be any durability issues. Also - as I showed in the video, I had 3D printed some inserts myself. It isn't from PLA or PETG. It is printed from TPU. These inserts have been through many miles (and many crashes) without any degradation. Don't over think this and hold yourself in a box! Go out there an experiment! If you already have a printer - then the file I used was free. Just buy some quality TPU material!

@@RoadsideRC man thanks i just noticed they have to sizes of the same silicone u think they will soften up over time ? If soy i will go with the blue They have two sizes -106-108mm(4.19" OD) 1.9" Tires -118-122mm(4.75" OD) 1.9" Tires Im gonna use the Stock tires on my redcat ascent with injora beadlock wheels witch size is what im supposed to go with ??

@@RoadsideRC thank u man great point im guessing the new ascent fusion with the carbon frames weighs less than the regular ascent so i feel the green would be great although the advantage of the blue is that i can cut them maybe wait a couple months they might get “softer” with use U think the green ones will squash too much ?? Thats the real question even though like i said its the “fusion ascent” has less weight than the regular ascent Also what plug n play charger u reccomend for the 1500 3s lipo from amazon Im currently lookinh at 2 -Spektrum S155 G2 1x55W AC Smart Charger -OVONIC Mate1 Lipo Battery Charger 1s-6s 100W 10A

It can not. It is a tight fit over the 1.9". I assume they may come out with other sizes if these are popular.

The factory wheels are glued, yes. But, most folks quickly move to aluminum beadlock wheels. They can be unassembled and reassembled over and over.

Injoras new brass heavy wheels are absolutely sick! I have a ton of injora stuff on my gen8. Shes a heavy girl. Everything ive been able to buy in brass I have on it, and then the rest is replaced with aluminum. I just finished it up by putting 2.25 oz of weight in each front tire with harbor freight 1/4 oz wheel weights. Takes 11 evenly spaced. Problem now, is that i do need something like this. The foams in my hyrax predator compound have had so much deflection on sidehills one tire actually came out of my beadlocks. Do you think there is enough flex in these inserts that I could put them around the inner beadlock ring plus about 1/4" for the weights? Or do you think they wouldn't fit, or grow to a way bigger size overall?

@RoadsideRC 7 ай бұрын

I am honestly not sure they would fit. It is a tight fit just getting the normal beadlock center ring in there.

@AnyAssumptionBanter 7 ай бұрын

its a conspiracy. manufacturers are making larger tires with weak sidewalls to capitalize on making inserts; yet another thing for us to buy at very inflated rates... which we will pay! Well, that's partially what I believe, but if you watch carefully, there is only so contact patch that actually occurs vs the profile of the tire; there is a relationship, but high profile tires are so unnecessary. imagine a tire with less profile, similar contact patch, and no fold to the inside, but only on the outside to create a stable contact patch on sidewall and no need for inserts.

Hmm. A conspiracy? Interesting.
