Kraton Trencher & Badlands? Which is better at what?

[OG*GOBLIN]

So it'll eventually be time for some new rubber. I see a lot of people running those two tires and wanted to know what they're each good at. Are the Badlands more for off-road and the Trenchers more for flat surface? Thanks

Trenchers are more of an all-around tire, badlands great for sand and grass, will wear super quick on hard surface

If looking for a vote on those two it would be the MX Badlands for the Kraton from me. I do have the belted Trenchers on my 3S Big Rock. They are heavy and I like them for certain applications, not the best at digging and bitting in the dirt if it is too loose...hard dirt does well...but I also have CVD on that BR...and fans for those heavy belted tires.

Have you considered the popular 4S DBoots Backflip LP's they are a great-looking tire and grip and dig so well...so happy with the LPs? They are not belted but the ballooning is very, very low on the Kraton 6S EXB.

As above, BF Lp's are great. Many use them. Myself included.
Belted Trenchers are heavy.
Badlands have been my fav. of the PL options.

I have had both trenchers and badlands (mx38). I really like how both of them grip. They also both look really BA. The badlands are fast wearing on hard surfaces. I didn't like any of the current sizes of trenchers for my rc cars (the old 3.8 were a really good size). For the badlands non mx38 version you would prob be better off just getting bf or bf lps.

I like the white label on those. Those BF's looked pretty narrow compared to the 2 in the OP. Maybe I'll put BF's on the blx and trenchers EXB. Thank you for everyone's help here.

Is there a particular reason you linked 4s? And what does lp stand for? How many different options in 3.8 do they make for the BF's?

lp stands for the 4s version of the BFs. The actual wheels have backflip lp on the side, hence the name. I liked them because they fit my talion without having to change pinion+they are cheaper+they balloon less.

LP = Low Profile so less sidewall as other user said came on the Kraton 4S. I personally do not like the thick, fat balloon belly tires nor the stock Copperheads.

Sorry not sure if any other options in the 3.8 I am aware of...mainly due to the above I do not like tall sidewall tires so never look at them.
