|  tire wobble fix?
Hi all, I recently bought my first crawler, the scx10 deadbolt. So far I'm really enjoying it but I noticed right out of the box, the front tires wobble. Is this normal?

Dose one wobble more than the other? Look at the steering knuckles and see if you have a screw on the top and bottom. Occasionally on will back out and thus wobble

There are no loose hardware. It looks like maybe the tire is wobbly, not the wheels. One tire wobbles more than the other. I'm wondering if it could be the foam inside?

Foams can shift. Usually not a big deal and often times they'll straighten themselves out as you continue running them.

Give your tires a massage, it worked on mine. Are you running foams w/ wheel weights inside?

Check if your front tires are drunk. If not then remove the knuckles from the axle and rotate the tires by holding knuckles in your hand. If you feel a wobble, that means the tire and wheel is not balanced. Seek advice from above posts. If problem persist, sell the truck for cheap in the buy sale section and buy a new truck  I will lookout for your sale thread;) Last edited by wings_of_fire; 12-01-2015 at 12:53 AM. |

Lol I don't plan on selling anytime soon. They are stock wheels and tires. I tried massaging them already with no change. I guess I should just get some beadlock wheels and super swampers xl. |

Yeah my area is very sandy so I think the swampers would work better.

| Re: tire wobble fix?
So I got ssd Trail beadlocks and ci lil novas with soft outers for the truck. I'm still using the trepadors for now to really see how it handles with the new foams but now I have two tires with wobble. One in the front and another in the rear. I tried to line up the foams as center and evenly as possible when installing and I also tried massaging them. Is there some trick about tire foams I'm not aware of? I can't seem to get rid of the wobble. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks.
