Just a quick size comparison before I fit these babies on my kraton. Might even swap em on my outcast here and there

And... now I'm sad. lolThey are my favorite tire for the kraton. Sadly it runs too hot with them. I'm running 14t pinion and it gets 185-200f pretty quick. Along with being a bigger diametr they weigh 1oz heavier per wheel.
No, I don't but maybe it would help. My kraton is 13lbs without the battery and I'm still running the blx system. So you may be just fine if you are a little lighter or are running bigger electrics.And... now I'm sad. lol
Did you wrap them? Curious if the lack of ballooning matters with temps.
The string is more for 6S wheel speed blowing tires apart. The proline trenchers are heavy and there's a lot of rubber. At the speed 6S can spin the tires, when doing backflips or whatever, thy have a high likelihood of shredding. That's the only reason I did it. With 4S, I didn't bother.I don't really plan on gearing up past 12t on the pinion especially with the speed it's rolling at currently if the over heating starts Kevlar string will be the first thing on my shopping list
I just put some Trenchers on my Kraton as well. I like the Kevlar idea. I'll need to try that. Did you vent your tires?May be a good idea to wrap them with kevlar if your running 6S.
I ran them on my outcast with 4S for 6 months or so, with a 15T pinion. If I ran in grass a lot on an 80F day, it would overheat. Otherwise it did ok.
Running 6S now with 14T and have them wrapped... may have to drop down to 13T if heat becomes an issue.

I'll find out soon enough if I have to gear down. Supposed to get up to 70F Saturday and I intend on taking it out. I'll have my 13T and 12T with me just in case. With the hot racing sliding mount, makes it pretty easy to swap out a pinion.
Yep. Made it take about 5 minutes to swap out the pinion yesterday. Pretty sure I was overheating with the 14T. The esc would apply brakes and not allow throttle/brake input and it's green LED would blink about once a second continuously. I'm not sure if that's LVC or overheating. Usually, with LVC the truck slows down, then eventually stops. But yesterday, it was just cruising along, then would apply brake.I need the hot racing mount for that reason. you can just swap pinion east when needed.
What weight/diameter do you guys use?That Kevlar kite string works miracles.
I used this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZPR16EMWhat weight/diameter do you guys use?
Thanks man. That was quick.
That's the same stuff I used.
The first is what working wives are for.When I was looking for it... I cheaped out. Didn't feel like spending $20-$30 on a couple hundred feet "fishing line", so then I just searched for kevlar line and stuff for kite's came up. I figured it was 70lb, made of kevlar... 1000ft for $15, why not try it.
