1/6th Scale Chevy Monster Truck

[NickRummy]

Ya know, my friend mentioned the same thing on the phone the other day. I think the only reason the inner tube popped was because the inner tube had expanded so much. With some duct tape limiting how much it can expand that might help fill the tire up with the inner tube instead of it stretching the tire out.....

One thing that I've been finding out I don't like is that the inside of the tire isn't sealed perfectly. I haven't sealed where the valve stem goes in the rim so water can get inside. Obviously only so much water will get in there since the inner tube will still hold air but I'm wondering how much of a buoyancy difference that'll make.

I'm ordering in a different set of wheels that are wider so if this setup doesn't work I'm going to glue a set of tires to the rims and glue in a valve stem too.
