I agree that a fiber mesh adhered to the inside of the tire with a flexible yet strong glue is a great idea. The MTR series has additional ribbing but not sufficient for the speeds/acceleration of brushless vehicles. We are just going to have to use what we can until this type of power becomes mainstream enough for the tire manufacturers to create a more durable tire.

The only problem is that the main downside to any type of tire reinforcement is loss of traction due to loss of tire deformation. The light weight of rc vehicles requires this deformation for traction, and taping tires gets rid of the tire flex. What we need is a strong mesh tape that stretches. Any ideas?
