I hate it when this happens...
 
I hit the throttle to pick up the front wheels, got them in the air, was giving it throttle to keep the rear wing on the ground riding the wheelie and this happens to one of my rear tires:

Oh, and this is on my CRT (1515/1Y, MMM and 4S Trakpower 4900).

:lol: That happened on one of the tires on my E-Revo as well. And I am not even running as powerful a set up as you are... :yes:

I was surprised it happened to one of the rears since they were planted and the fronts were in the air. Oh well, time for another set of tires and wheels.

Sean the traxxas response tires are known to rip & tear eaisly because they are very thin .

New tires!!!!?????

Why not send those to me, and I can work some magic with my bottle of CA! I will even pay shipping (you will not get them back BTW!)

what weight diff oil are you using to get the front tires up?

Yep, they did stay on well. I think I may end up going back to 17mm wheels now though. I'm thinking about either some crime fighters or badlands.

Aww, heck, I really don't know. rchippie was the original owner and put the diff oil in there.

What'd you use in there hippie? 50k?

Remember those rims were cut down on my table saw to fit the narrower tires like the response & proline MT tires.

I used 30,000 in the center, & 2,000 or 3,000 in the rear & i belive 5,000 in the FR. The mugen buggy had the 50,000 in the center. That truggy set up had a really good weight transfer.

I run badlands and they are one of my favorites tires. I like crime fighters but if your not racing they really just dont last long enough. The badlands hook on everything but the dusty dry stuff, and even then they hook pretty good. They last forever too.

I also like mashers, and I dont know why more people dont run them but for the time being Im running badlands 95% of the time.

Yeah, I remember you cut them down to narrow them up.
