Use a 3/16 brass tube. Sand inside, and outside of the tube, to create a point. Hole is much cleaner, and the excess tire gets into the tube, which you can push out into the garbage.

Just drilled 4 holes on each tire every 90 degrees. Got a load of sand out within about 5 minutes of driving on street. Highly recommend this strategy for venting, but 2 holes is probably more than enough, I just did 4 each to make sure.

I appreciate all of your videos as well as your advice in the Arrma forums! Keep it up!👍

That works!! I used to use a drill bit, but now use the tube method.

I took the metal end off one of my daughters art paint brushes and popped in the end of a drill. Worked a treat

I like to just use my soldering iron. No chance of tearing.

Holy crap, Batman! I definitely see why you say to use a high speed dremel....lol. I figured my 2000 rpm 20v DeWalt would be fast enough but with it, I might as well just poked a hole with a needle. Lol. Thanks for the great video

Thanks for the video. 👍

Nice tip 👍

great information

Nice! it is simpler if you own a dremel, if you dont, buying a brass tube is cheaper. I choose the amount of holes based on the tire volume, SC/buggy tires gets 2 holes, MT 2.8 gets 3, 3.8 gets 4.

I be doing the same on my exb. Looks nice I dont want bash it lol

I though using a drill bit was a no no but it appears to work perfectly fine

drill bits go too slow, and will catch onto the foam and tire. I'm using a dremel which works a lot better.

Dude, 4mm copper tube, sharpened on one end. Stick on a dremel. Wayyyy better.. and clean holes each time.

Seems like this would let as much water and dirt in as it does out?

Sorry I know this is an old video but just want to clarify. You drill through the rubber, foam, and the rim / wheel. Then on the other side of the hole in the rim cover with tape?

no, rubber only!

Copper pipe 1/8" Sharpen it with a razor blade. Perfect circle, no tears.

Great stuff. Looks like you going deep though... Are you not drilling through Foam inserts? 🤔

Hitting the foam doesn't matter at all if your drill-bit is fast enough. It doesn't get destroyed and I never had a problem. But if it's too slow the foam might wrap itself around the drill.

I do the same thing, just gotta be careful you don’t hit the foam

Why should it matter when you hit the foam a little bit. You don't destroy it because of that.

@@TylerSaleik hm, something like that never happened to me. Last time I did it was with pro-line 3.8 trenchers and it's all fine. Did you use a fast enough drill? Maybe a slower one cought the foam and wrapped it around the drill bit. Using something fast like the dremel should prevent that, or a soldering iron.

Yes, but then the centrifugal force of the tire spinning will allow the water and debris to escape.
