Tire Taping ?

Also what tape should I use?

Thanks guys.. I need to go back to a 17t pinion, as the 19t is pulling a few more amps with these tires compared to my mtr bowties...

I have the same tire and wheel combo and I know what you mean by the ballooning I have been thinking about doing the tape mod and the glass enriched tape looks good and I have thought about applying some sort of glue or other hardening agent to the tire to keep it from ballooning

linc you pulled the thoughts right out of my head.

Last night i got my maxx setup and drove it for the fist time in ages with my MMM and i too am running maximizers on badlands because i liked the look and they are all terran. after driving a few questions came to my head

1.) what do i do to stop the balloning
2.) why are they so unballenced
3.) why did i rip the tires right out of the beadlock

so to prove that i am not joking heres a pic of my tires laying in the floor ready for taping to be done.

Yep, I have the same wheels and tires! They do look good and seems to grip well. I will lower the top speed a bit and try my hand at balancing...

I will post back here when I get all of the materials and get some in-progress pics!
