Default 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
