Maxxis Trepadors Tires

Has anyone actually tried these out? I'm really thinking about trying them out on my upcoming Vesla gas build with SX5 sidewinder cage/body. If so, what gearing would you recommend for the Vesla running these?

Waiting for comments as they are on the list for my Vekta Ultra. The scale look is more my liking but if they suck then they suck.

Depends on the power plant you are going to go with. They are a soft tire, so they can't take tons of power

No problems on my end with a 50GT. Once it warms up I’m going to see how they do with a 71.

That is a sweet looking rig. I will be running a ESP34cc in the Vesla. I just wonder what gearing to start at with those tires.

They are great tires, just soft, heavy and too big for stock gears. Be ready to gear down a bit. Can't remember the guys name, but we had a member who ran them for a while.

Thank you. I’m not 100% if there are other gear options for the Vesla yet. Definitely need to gear down though because they are very tall.

I just placed an order from DDM for them. I also ordered a 17t clutch gear. The stock is 19.

Got all the Vesla parts in the mail. Now just waiting on the Vesla SBK that I pre-ordered. I may just put those treps on my Vekta.5 while I am waiting on the Vesla build and test them out.
