RE: Official E-FIRESTORM thread
Hi guys, I have been tinkering and playing around with the e-firestorm for a few months now and am wondering what the opinion is on the tire balooning you get on the rear wheels. When my beast is flying around the place it almost looks as if only a small surface of the rear tire is actually touching the ground. If this is the case then it would be like going up a few teeth on the pinion as the wheel diameter has increased and is changing the final gear ratio.
I have thought about taping over the air holes in the wheel to see if this stops the air being sucked in and the wheel balooning. If this improves performance then upgrading to low profile 30 series wheels may be th trick.
What do you guys think? Is this an issue?
