Why the hell are you doing that? Of course the tires are ballooning, full throttle usually does that. Not good... stock abec 3 wheel bearings and touring car tires generally aren't rated for 25'000 rpm.

Yeah... foams don't balloon. But Belted touring car tires generally don't balloon when you are driving it on the ground.

LOL I enjoyed that video fasterrcs.
I agree I see alot of things people classify as projects but they are not.
