Punching the tire on the outside vs the rim helps water/dirt get out
LPRs versus taping to avoid imbalance, rotating mass, uneven performance
Also I would note that generally racing is geared to I would say max 40mph ish depending on the track - I think the discussion here is for running at higher speeds and with tires you would never take to the track... just 2c

This all sounds good to me.
I will drop a few teeth on the pinion before I do much else and see how it does. I had smaller diameter mtr bowties on it before, and wanted a bit more speed so I geared up. The taller badlands with the previous 17t pinion should be about correct. I will still balance the wheels, as I and sure that they need it, and I need the experience!!!
