A good wash and some rubberized Ca will fix that right up.

Easy fix use some old rubber and cut a shape to fill the hole then some CA glue to mend it back!

@TheSCorpionKing @Tgreer - Thanks guys, I'll try that ca glue when I get the chance.

@90Finder - your guess is as good as mine. The area I was crawling at was an semi dried up river bed, so mostly smooth rocks and some small puddles for mudding.

Looks extremely thin in that area. Could it be a tire defect?

The walls are thinner than my proline swampers. I don't know if that's just how it's made or what.

You need stiffer foams. The tires have no support. I would bet that's the biggest reason you've ripped a sidewall so fast.

I tore one of my panthers on my lnc and I used shoe goo, I found this out when I tore one of the tires on my Baja, and the goo has held on the rear of it till the tread was gone and still never retore
shoe goo is very flexable

I've used the stock foams that came with the tires. Never thought this would have happened.

The stock foams don't have enough support for how soft the tires are. Crawler Innovation's Deuce Wild Pitbull Rock Beast foams are perfect and will keep from you tearing up your tires.


Here is my old 9 lbs Tundra Truggy using the RB and Deuce Wild foams. Almost all of the weight is on the rear axle (front end is in the air) and I'm powering up the hill.

Dab of rubberized CA glue will mend it.

Then flip it on the wheel so it's on the inside.

Looks like Crawler Innovation's Deuce Wild foams are the way to go for these rock beast, its what I've been seeing on related searches and what people are recommending, so I will be investing in some very soon.

Could you use a very thin bicycle tube patch on the inside? Will stick to rubber extremely well. Cheap too.

Off course it ripped because of the foam.
