Help with Tires! Please!

[Bronco2x84]

So this weekend i added about three ounces of weight to all four tires on my TR Dingo and now it crawls amazingly, yet now on flat straits i can see my tires are screwed 14 ways to sunday, i dont know if in the process of adding the weights i messed up the foam or what but any imput would help very much!, its like the foam is over stuffed or somthing, do you guys have an opinion?

You can move the foam around inside the tires to straighten them out. It doesn't really effect anything, other than it looks kinda weird.

ya they do great, but do look weird

Well straighten those puppies out!

If your weights take alot of room you can trim the ID of your foam so they aren't being "buldged" out

yeah ive encountered the same problem myself while mounting the r35 ripswaws on my axial beadlocks ...seemed like i had a bent axle ...tryed taking the wheels off and moving foams around ...problem solved...

If they are stick on weights you can always flatten them out with a hammer. Just don't nail your thumb. I did that once or twice. It will give ya a little more room for your foams.

Exactly!

you don't always have to dismount the tires - unless your foam is pinched in the beadlock, you can usually just massage the tires and re-orient the foams inside. for all the low-speed crawler stuff this won't really make any difference other than aesthetics -- the imbalance would only really affect your RC if it was something with high-speed, or in your 1:1 rig.

if you had A LOT of weight added to your wheels, like double layer, and the weights protrude past the channel on the wheel - you may choose to cut out a small amount/channel on the inside circumference of the foam where it got displaced by your weights. this is really dependent on the weight of your rig as well - for example, my rig has a good 1/4-3/8" of weights protruding past the wheel diameter, but I chose not to cut my foams because my rig weighs a good 8.5lbs - I just vent the wheels to get a little more sidewall bulge.
