Orlandoo Tires Disintergrating

[Shape_Shifter]

Its been less than a year since I did the little F150. I get the little Jeep in a few days so I got out the F150 to play with it and was shocked to see the tires have already gone to shyt.

Yeah it does look like that. Theres no moisture in my climate though. Its just from being in the garage all summer I guess.

Anyone else have cracked orlandoo tires?

If you had just treated them with tire shine this would never have happened ;) lol
I've got some that are a year old that have never been out of my hobby room but no issues. Never seen a tire go to hell so quick! You live in the desert?

We usually get a couple months of 100+ degrees. It gets pretty hot in my shop/garage but I have probably 100 RC tires sitting in there, mounted and unmounted, and only the really old ones (10 years +) even begin to show any cracks.

I haven't torn them off yet but it looks like the Orlandoo tires are solid foam....? No..?

There's a lot of foam in them. I didn't use the foams on my kit and when the time came I ended up using some Micro T wheels anyway.

But are they hollow with foam inserts? I dont remember. Too many models in my shop ...

Yes. They're hollow with foams. I've got a spare set I can take a pic of if you'd like.

Thanks but no need for pic. I dont have them in front of me but my picture looked kind like they might be solid foam with smooth outer shell - kinda like the old Nerf basketballs. I know they are not.
