While waiting on the two speed to get here I started looking into something else I've always wanted to do with an RC. It's been done before so it's nothing amazing but I wanted to approach it differently.
This is just too cool right?
Stopped at the local Harbor Freight and found some inner tubes that fit inside the Jumbo Kongs. 8" OD x 2.5"w wide for a 4" rim. I'm running 3.2" rims but that's ok.
Deflated inner tube
Added a little air to see how the fit would be
Not to bad. A little narrow.
Drilled a through hole for the valve stem
Put the tire on.
Added about 10psi to see what would happen.
Since the tube was too narrow it didn't stay centered.
I took the stock foam which is 4" wide and cut 2" out of the center. Then I used the 1" rings left over on either side of the inner tube inside the tire.
