School track? Lucky!

Are the pins actually coming off or are they wearing down?

i run the mamba max 5700 which would cause balooning but i didnt expect it to do that so quickly, especially on dirt

It shouldn't unless its a fast hard-packed track.

I've had that happen to me. It was from spinning the tires on the tubes.

You are probably spinning a lot too right? Try tuning some of the MM settings to keep from spinning too much and try loosening your slipper.

This happened with my Evader BX a while back. Granted it was a set of buggy hole-shots, but they wear the same. I'm willing to bet it's a diff problem, because I run a 6900 mamba in my evader, which runs holeshots, and my tires still look like new after 20-ish battery packs.
