Is there any way to balance 2.2 tires OK this is probably a dumb newbie question, but I am new to this sport. I have an Axial Scorpion with the Pro Line Hammers. They wobble on the rims quite a bit. It looks like the rims spin true, and I know they are tight on the hubs. I cut my foams in a star pattern and weighted them down. I figured when I mounted the tires back on that they would spin true, but no luck. I guess as far as crawling goes it really doesn't matter, just kinda annoying. If anyone can help it would be appreciated. |
It is annoying but not going to hurt your performance. Wait util you bend a spindle and they wobble, now thats annoying. |
try running air rifle BBs in your tire. It won't help much at low speed, but it could improve the wobble at higher speeds. |
Assuming your star cuts were even, you probably just need to massage your tires/foams a bit. It happens sometimes - you might try alternating pinching the vertical sidewall then the tire's lugs, horizontally. Go around the whole tire a few times. Also, make sure that the weight in you wheel weights--if not setup to roll to the bottom of the tire--is evenly distributed. |
Thanks Thanks for the help. Massage did help a bit. Thinking bout getting some 2 stage memory foams. Hopefully that will true things up even more. Seems like there will be no need to cut these foams? The memory foam should be soft enough? |
I wouldn't let the wobble bother you...The speeds you'll be running won't effect anything. I actually prefer mine to be off a bit...when upside down, or hung up flat on your skid, those wobbling tires will help wiggle the truck with some wheel speed, often catching and pulling you through. |
