| ![]() Close up look ![]() ![]() They do have sidewall reinforcement lugs ![]() ![]() I cut the sidewall support lugs out with a flush cutter and used a leather hole punch to punch 4 2mm holes. I highly recommend cutting the sidewall lugs out of any tire to soften the rubber which increases traction and allows the foam and tire to work in harmonious balance. Also if the tire is not VENTED the foam and tire CANNOT conform resulting in a air tight stiff tire. I recommend a minimum of 3 vent holes in a tire. The more vent holes to a tire the softer and faster the tire / foam can conform, compress and decompress. ![]() |

| ![]() Time has passed without me updating this build thread and alot has changed! ![]() On May 4 at the Activated Outlaw Get together after we had finished running courses I took the Chuggy on a trail ride around the park. I was climbing a 20 ft hill climb covered with small stones and at the top of the climb the Chuggys front axle broke! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Not only did the Axle C break but the axle shaft was destroyed! This starts the Rebuild That took place from May 4 to June 1 of 2019! |
