LOL. I remember that thread Serum, (on Traxxas' forum I believe?) where people were accusing you of faking that picture.

I ended up taping the inside of those tires and it did make a HUGE difference. Practicly no balooning at all. I'll have to take another picture when I get my Maxx put back together so you can see a before and after pic.

I still don't quite get how you're supposed to go about taping the tires to prevent ballooning, I was under the impression that you could just put a layer of duct tape on the inside of the tire and it'd work fine......is that wrong?

JOHNNYMAXXIMA 09.09.2005 03:39 PM

That is exactly how I did it dabid. It is a little difficult to get the tape inside however, so I turnned the tire inside out, wrapped the tape around, then turned it rightside in. I also purchased extra wide duct tape to make sure it covered side to side.

If you use duct tape. Is it like nascar? The truck will be good for 200mph.

Serum 09.09.2005 06:25 PM

Amen, like Nascar..

You guys ever seen the vids i made with and without tape?

just go to rcpics.net and search for serum, they will show up for those that are interested..

coolhandcountry 09.09.2005 07:21 PM

I seen them serum. That is what makes me what to use it. Keep the tires where the supposed to be. I think they should put belts in the tires like a real car tire. Just add the fiber ones not steel. Then you would not need the tape.

Serum 09.10.2005 01:54 AM

I thought that some 1/10 tires have got this fibre..

I had some belted slick tires on my HPI RS4 Rally back in the day for parking lot driving, but that was only for on road, I had the Pirellis for off roading. :L:
