|  tire inflation
Stock wheels have a vent hole... I have heard of people making holes in tires because they dont wanna drill wheels to get extra deflection to increase contact patch. I have seen the G-made wheel set that comes with a pump in inflate. Has anyone tried to inflate micro wheels? More specifically miclaws on vertex wheels. Think they might get too hoppy? Good, bad, stupid idea? Might be awesome? comments....plz |

Probably not a good idea. These micros are so lite most people run them with no foams and with holes in the wheel. The sidewall alone is enough to hold the this tiny truck up. So adding any air into the tire would then make it too stiff. Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk |

I was just toying around with the idea. I wanted a bit more ground clearance. I am already noticing that the tires are getting deflated. I put the stock tire foams in the miclaws. Someone suggested that cuz I was noticing that tires were getting wrapped up and caught in between rocks. Actually worked badass for a bit.
