Kraton Copper head 2 vs backflip mt

[logansmithc99]

Currently I have proline mx38 belted badlands and I think they are contributing to my not good handling, 90% of the time I drive in the loose desert dirt trying to fly around small tracks, Jenny’s rc sells copperhead 2’s for $48 while the backflips are always out of stock and $62 do you guys think copperhead 2’s would work decently?
Thank you!

Backflips.
There's a reason why they're always seem to be out of stock ,even at that price. They're worth it.

Do you happen to know what makes them better? Last longer, handle better?

Handle better. More durable. Lighter than a lot of the aftermarket options. They’re much better tires. They might even be the best basher tire available.

I run backflip lps on my Kraton
It handles way better than it did with the copperheads.

I thought about this but I’m thinking the tires wouldn’t last long up against the desert rocks with the sidewall being so short

I haven’t had a problem

Where do you run most of the time?

A lot of grass but also gravel and rocks. They are also cheaper. They are $35 a pair on Amazon

Exactly!

I run my KEXB side by side with my buddies KEXB. He has copperheads and I have backflips. The backflip tread just grabs the dirty better. I hear they wear out on pavement faster, so I would stick to dirt and gravel. I haven't had any issues with wear yet though. My buddy has mentioned many times doesn't like the copperheads.

I like them both but the backflip 6s are the best tyres ever they don't hardly balloon great air control loads of grip and last ages on road as well

i didnt like the copperheads on my K8EXB . they hooked well and provide a cushy landing rippin soccer fields , but doing a half throttle run and rolling into the juice front end was lifting , and i effin exploded one . never happened with a backflip . and im a fan off the less weight

I have a pile of tore up 4s backflips too. I stick them under my trucks when I store them. It keeps the suspension extended so my springs don't get compressed. 6s backflips, love them or hate them I've never torn one up. I like the stiff sidewalls too, my truck corners nice with them. By the way, the tire killer in my family is my daughter and her 4s Tekno.

This off subject, but on the TLR Tuned Kraton, what are the gearboxes on that truck? Now that you have some run time on them what do you think of them?

Those look to be the BasherQueen cases.
