How and when did this happen?

RC4WD tires on RC4WD rims and they fit like shite. Go figure. Anyway, bicycle patching kit to the rescue. We'll see how (if) this holds. So far so good.

Not ready to give up yet!

thats one of 2 major problems with air filled tires

the other is bounce air filled tires bounce like mad

seal the inner tire the air gap between the 2 tires stops the bounce but the performance is the same as with just air

your outer tire takes the beating the inner suports the rig

lol a dab of rtv silicone dose pretty good at sealing them up but once you fix one hole you get another one the first time you run it most rc tires get holes in them that are almost imposable to see and wont hold air

funny story my old 1:1 wheeler had big biasply tires they were so stiff i never put air in them if i did the truck bounced like mad it would change lanes while in the air going down the freeway lol they came off the truck as soon as i could aford new ones funny thing was when i took the valve stem out and ran them open they were ok
