I am going to attempt it. Might be needing to gear up a little though, don't really know what to expect running the stock gearing at 15/46. I'm seriously hoping the Trencher X will get 12" tall. My Monster Revo was running 17/56 & the first generation Trenchers would get 12" tall, unless only one side would unload. Then I think it's closer to 15" and about 1/8" wide

Haha looks like saw blades. Are you worried about them blowing apart? Are you going to tape them? I'm wanting more traction but don't want to blow apart $80 tires lol.

I was testing them to see if I could kill them, and I failed! Those are pretty tough tires!!! I will try the new X versions and get back to ya

There are several threads here that talk about tire removal. Do a search and you'll find enough info to get it done.

I run trencher x on my Kraton with 6s and I run the 14t pinion with the stock spur gear. Haven't had any issues with my tires yet. I vented them to allow the water out. They have recently developed a slight wobble at the upper 15% of the throttle range, but I don't usually go that fast anyways.

The guy at the hobby store I bought them from said not to run them on 6s but I'm thinking it's all about throttle control. Maybe there is an over heating issue to worry about as well with running trenchers x's on 6s?

I've been running them on my Kraton for a while now. They get MEGA grip and balloon a lot on 6s so you'll want to add some thicker center diff fluid to balance out the power. Throttle control is key!
