School track? Lucky!

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

Better pics please, but it looks like the tires are balloning and wearing off in the middle.

thats a 1/10 scale ride, no diff oil. Yeh just tighten the diff.

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.
