Hi All, Won't putting shorter wheels on a RC give it less top end & more off the line?[sm=confused.gif] PS: 1 inch difference 7&1/2 to 6&1/2!

J_D

up ur gearing if it worrys u

ScooterTrash

Thanks JD, NO, no worrys, I was just trying to figure out about how much top end I would Loose? Thanks again,

Performance RC

We had a math wiz friend calculate it for us at 2222.2 rpms at the dif. If the tire is 6" tall you need to multiple it times 3.14 to give you the rolling dia. of 18.84 inches so 18.84 times 2222.2 gives you 418666.248 inches per minute (418666.248 /12) or 3488.854 feet per minute. So when you multiply that by 60(minutes in an hour) you will get 209331.24 feet per hour divide that by 5280(feet in a mile) you come up with 39.64mph. You can substitute the height of the taller tire and recalculate for the Monster truck speed.

Hi Guys
I am only new to large scale and read about the foam inserts in the tires of my FG hummer. How do i remove the tire to get rid of the foam insert. I don't want to ruin the tires as they are brand new.
They seem to be well stack on the rim
Cheers

[8D] Hi rchotel, The tires are glued on[:@]. I don't know if you can remove them with out messing them up! If you are trying to get away from the bouncing you can do a fue thing's, First remove the rear swaybar, & you can drill two holes 3/16 or around 4.7625 mm in the center of each tire 180 degrees from each one that will help on the ballance of the tires, & you can change the shock oil weight to around 40 or 50 in the rear &30 to 40 on the front. Good Luck,

J_D

id just run it as is., and then do other thing on ur next set of rubber.

better than destoying brand new tyres.

rchotel

thanks
I 'll try it and come back to you
Cheers

i think he means the rims

rchotel

drilled two holes on each rim , changed the oil in the shocks but still uncontrollable. I look at the videos of others and mine is all over the place. I think I 'l go back to nitro 1/8. Don't want to but this is no fun

to remove the tires from the rims is simple, long but simple, get a big pot and boil the water, then drop it in boiling water and let it boil on the oven for about 15 to 20 minutes per wheeel, then pull it out ( carefull, its very hot at this point) and apply pressure to the tires where its glued by pushing downwards with your thumbs, it will pop off the rim, do it all around and your tire will break free, i removed my foams a few months back also, was much to bouncy for my like, since then i love how it handles.

rchotel

Thanks Buggzy
It worked a treat. just popped out with a bit of pressure . Car handles a lot better now.
Still a bit hard to drive . I quess i have to get used to this.
Thank you again from Corfu Greece
