| troubles with tires on my scorpion...
i originally tried out bbs and i believe i didnt use enough bc when i went to turn my tires would flatten... i cut my foams and put them in and im still having somewhat of the same problem... could it be bc i drilled the rims to help with air escape like you are supposed to in any other rc? do you guys think i should plug up the holes and see if it works better? or just fill the tires almost full with airsoft bbs?

You must have a heavy rig. We want the tire to flatten some in crawling so it can grab more and be more pliable. I'm still running the stock wheels w/ two 7/32" holes and the stock foams, works decent, gonna try some Losi Rocks and maybe do some star cutting. |

The Losi Claw's stock foam dont seem to need any cutting. They work very well uncut!! The Rock lizards seem to work pretty well with a taper cut. Cut the foams with the inner width just as wide as the rim and the outer about 1/2"-3/4" centered. This seems to allow the side walls to give just a bit and supports the center. So far I have seen good results on the Wheely King with Lizards and this combo. All wheels are vented with (2) 1/8" holes on opposite sides of rim, and weighted with 3oz each thats just my setup that seems to work |

I prefer no holes drilled and 4oz bb's in each wheel, works great for me |
