Once again a great tip for those of us who are new to this hobby!

Your 101 videos like this have been an enormous help for me to get into this hobby and learn the tips and tricks! Thanks for all the stuff you put out!

I love the full transparency in your videos. The extra mile you go to grab a different sets of wheels to show us all different situations you could run into is commendable. I think I’m going to try what I’ve done on my Scx10 gladiator and run bead-locks with no foams. Thanks a million from the state to the north!

Really appreciate you came back with the apples to apples. Excellent comparison. 💯 improvement.

I saw a post just the other day of someone filling their tires with water! I may do a video of completely unorthodox methods of filling tires. I think it would be entertaining and informative!

Very informative video sir. It answered many of the questions I had about venting. Thank you!

I vented with a small pair of diagonal cutters. I just pinched the tire and made two small snips and the holes look great and round. It really helped the tires conform to obstacles.

That’s a great idea!

cut your foams in a star pattern , with stiffer springs in rear will climb much better , also wrap inside of rim with small strip off pantyhose and spray with 3m scotchguard it'll let air in &out but the scotchguard will keep out the water !!!

Question and possibly video suggestion that came from a debate a friend and I are having. Given identical setups and tire selection with beadlock wheels; which performs better, an unvented tire without foam vs. tire with venting and a soft foam?

Hello from southeast alaska how's it going bro I hope you are having a good day

I’m currently experimenting with venting too! Great timing. Question- have you tried venting on the inside sidewall of a tire, between the tread and wheel? Would love to see you cover that. Same ability to displace air, out of the direct path of small water, sand, mud, and can be plugged trivially with a piece of tape on the side if you know you’ll be driving somewhere messy. Thoughts?

@CapeCrawlers

2 жыл бұрын

That's a great suggestion and I think I may try that on my next set of tires to do a comparison. It makes good sense logically; the hole would not have direct exposure to the elements unless you submerged/buried it. And the hole wouldn't be big enough to compromise sidewall strength. I'll give it a shot next time!

Do you mean the foam inside the tire?

Ive been curious in trying a new method so you dont have holes. Use a smaller foam insert, compress tires with a hose clamp or rubber bands on your beadlock, tighten beadlock, release tension on tire. This would create negative pressure and add squishyness

@CapeCrawlers

Жыл бұрын

Interesting. You dont just end up with flat spots on the tire?

@CNScale

Жыл бұрын

That's what im curious about, havent put it to practice yet. You could possibly use a clamp with a polystyrene sheet to even the pressure so as not to concave the tire. It would be a fine line to make it work correctly

Can you take the foam out? Does that make a big difference?

Lately I have been favoring vented rims. I actually drill a hole in the ring and that seems to do the job. I don't know if there's any advantage to either approach, but it feels good not to punch holes in brand new tires!
