3 blowouts -
08.20.2010, 09:25 AM
No, I wasn't doing speed runs. It was raining so I was just fooling around in the workshop (on slippery concrete). The rear tire blew first and was very unexpected. Then I taped up both the rears (externally) and did donuts to intensionally blow the fronts. It was really quite amusing, they even made a small bang sound when they popped. The tires/wheels were Imex. I got them because they had a reasonably large diameter which I like for clearance.
I've got some panther meat grinders I can stick straight on but I try to keep them on grass and sand only. Soo , what's a good bashin' tire/wheel with large diameter? and long lasting? |

Traxxas wheels?
If so aren't they kind of soft, as well as thin? I know I blew out some talons on the E-Revo a while back, but never three in one run! |

are you putting tire dressing on the tires? tire makers put chemicals in the tires to keep the o-zone from destroying the tire, if you put tire dressing on tires that messes up the chemicals that is to protect the tire.
