when one of your wheels come off the ground with the throttle wide open is it supposed to swell like that? is it the rpms?

Model Mania

Yeah thats normal just drill a hole or a couple extra ones if u already have one should sort it out

Sandman2869

I'm assuming you mean drill a hole in the rim? If so, how big of a hole should be drilled?

Model Mania

Yeah the rimm, just a few millimetres should do maybe a couple of holes if u want or feel the need

All tyres do that ballooning thing. The stock tyres look a bit funky when they are off the ground at WOT! It is caused by the rotating mass of the tyre (centrifugal force).

nodolarsnosense

i agree with matster. its normal but not really a good thing to b happening.
how does drilling holes in the rim solve the problem?

YanLST

I dunno know about the scientific description of it but it works it out for me. It doesnt totally stop but it makes a difference,

What would happen if you block up all the holes on the wheel rims. The tires are much harder, has anyone tried it??

My tires don't balloon if I'm not on the throttle. Make sure you're not using the throttle or brakes when you hit the ground. It's rough on your diffs.

TheMachine

The balloning thing is normal...... too much will hurt the glue tho, its all in how much throttle you give it in a particular situation, as for drilling extra holes I find putting the hole in the rim not to be as good as putting a hole in the tire.... thats if you need to do it at all because its not going to stop it balloning ! When you put the hole in the rim the dirt/water/whatever gets spun/forced into the tire&foam, putting the hole in the tire makes the crud get flung out of the tire&foam. When your tires get dirt&water in the them then get unbalanced and that really really sucks, I`ve had tires come out 30-50 grams heavier than the others and they wobble like crazy and make the truck not fly level in the air !!

You have no reason to doubt me. You might be interested to know that i am a graphic desighner using CAD and i am adequatley qualified to make silly animations like that one.

DaSHiKi

Yes thats great you know cad but I have seen that specific one on other websites so yes i can doubt that you made that particular one. ohh and no I am not interested that you are a graphic designer.
