|  tell me what you think.
so i was thinking how would i make the tire pressure adjustable. eliminate taking apart the bead locks and trying to adjust it that way. i decided that putting some bike tire Presta(sp?) valves in to the rim its self might work as a regulater to take pressure out of the tire and possibly use it as a vent as well. i would like to know what you think. sorry about the pictures i had to take it with my phone this time. questions and criticism is welcome         |

just a thought.... foam? the only reason I see for running a valve stem and air pressure would be if your running water/calcium chlorite in the tires. |

I've seen people try that before, just doesn't work well at this scale. modding your foams to a good all around set up is the best bet.

Ok. Foam alone works better than air pressure. |

I like that, thats thinkin out side the box. I always hated running foams with a hole in the tire, foams get all nasty as **** and stinky as **** too. And real trucks dont run foams. Good job |

hi! one question: how about the tire-balance, if you apply the valve as weight at a certain point to the wheel? doesn't it wobble at high-speed? sincerly tomancik |

as for memory foams i like Aces donuts from RCP crawlers. ive also heard that the NWTractech foams are nice as well. theyre available in the vendors section here on rcc.

thats a good idea. Nice rig, you got a lot of articulation in it.
