I agree about venting tires in general, because the tires expand evenly and contract way faster as they spin down, traction is enhanced better.I haven't had any issues with either Copperhead 2s or Backflips on my 6S trucks after I vented them. I occasionally do some street bashing with them but mostly off road on fields where I can run full throttle and some ramp jumping. Now that I've vented them they have held up very well. How many times did I say "vent"? I highly recommend venting these tires especially if running on 6S.
Good info there! I’ll lean towards some backflips then. Thanks!Some food for thought. ..
Some treads like the CH2'S don't have an even circumference to use a string type wrap straight around. BF'S same. The wrap would be staggered. If that matters.
The CH2'S are very thin compared to the 6S BF's. Check the pix below. BF's are almost twice as thick. Logic would have it that the BF's are the better tire with a much thicker carcass. CH2's have minimal internal ribbing at the sidewall compared to ribbing of the BF's.View attachment 49349View attachment 49350View attachment 49351
internally taping these tires would not be effective because of the circumferential ribbing. The surface is not flat. The tape would not last, as many notice when they do this.
I didn't like the Trenchers. Too big.Anyone try out the #ProLine #Trenchers yet on there 6s ARRMA? They are very durable ? ? ? and heavy but still performs well in the dirt on 6s...

Which did you try? The 3.8" X or 3.8" standard?I didn't like the Trenchers. Too big.
The giant ones. X, I guess.Which did you try? The 3.8" X or 3.8" standard?
The standard ones aren't much different in size to the backflips. Heavier though. I think the outcast tires were called backflips... I never ran them, have the original set under my work bench.
Did you balance them? Every traxxas tire I've bought that was mounted was woefully out of balance. Not that big of a deal in my nitro trucks which live below 40mph, but an absolute nightmare on 6S and even 4S trucks. Was like having water in the tire that wouldn't spin out.I looked closely at the newest talon tires that I have and the tire can be pulled back way to much from bead which IMO means that the traxxas tires aren’t glued very well from the factory. So I cleaned the crud out from the bead area, and got some proper tire glue and glued them all “properly”. I then wrapped them in the black 300lb Kevlar string and I do believe that this will get me longer life out of them. If this fails, I’ll grab some backflips.
I haven’t, but I’ll look into it. Every little bit helps.??Did you balance them? Every traxxas tire I've bought that was mounted was woefully out of balance.
