flat spotted proline flat irons?

[brianw]

I just recently purchased a set of 2.2 flat irons with memory foam. I had my truck in the car and took it for a spin at lunch. Two of the tires are flat spotted where it was sitting in the trunk...is this normal?

Yup, especially when its cold out. I usually store my trucks on their lid, or just run it a little bit before crawling. The flat spots usually work themselves out in a few minutes.

Tyres will flat spot if they are sat for a while. Soft crawler foams will flat spot quicker than say MT's. I remember flat spooting some maxx tyres and I just ran it as normal for a few runs and they flats had pretty much gone.

It will be a lot more noticeable at slow speeds. I don't know whether this will work, but if you have a stadium truck or a faster vehicle with the right hex fitting, you could maybe just spin it in mid air to try and get the flat spot out. As I said, I havn't got any experiance with crawler flat spots, I always take my tyres off.

Thanks, never had this issue before...never had tires this soft before either, lol. I guess I'll have to make sure I take the tires off from now on. Thanks again.

I elevate mine on a shoe box (box of your choice) so that the foams don't get flat on one side.
