ZPB, good to see ya. I love the badlands for bashing as well, but hate the ballooning too. One thing I was considering doing so I didnt have to rebuy the tires is to cut them off of the wheels they are now right at the bead and then get a set of the new LPR wheels from proline or losi, belt the tires and then glue them on the bigger dia wheels beadless. I saw an artical in one of the magazines on how to mount a standard MT tire on the new LPR wheels by cutting off the bead on the tire and it looked pretty straight forward.

The combination of the lower sidewall and the belting should make them very stable at speed. Plus the added bonus is you dont have to buy new tires (those badlands last forever) or fight with the "un-glueing" process.

Just an Idea I have been thinking about doing, but haven't gotten to it yet.

EDIT: I had some 40s for a little while. I thought they were a bit clumsy IMO. I eventually went to the truggy style wheels too.
