Thanks fellers-

This is my second set on offset wabash rims and I love them. My first set was on my soon to be brushless nitro Muti. They have a ton of traction and increase handling and stability.

I run three strips of duct tape (about an inch in diameter each) the entire circumference of the tire and overlap by about 1-2 inches. Make sure you clean the surface of the tire with denatured alcohol first to maximize adhesion. This prevents most ballooning and increases surface contact.

My first set of Road Rages were the 2.2 series a few years back. I ran one strip of duct tape 1 inch in diameter along the tire thinking that would prevent ballooning. However this was a mistake; the in- and ouside of every tire would balloon 1/2-1 inch, expunging all traction and handling.

I plan on taping and balancing some HPI Phaltlines with black Tremor wheels for my Mutilator. I've heard good things, especially at high speeds.
