I think I used a little bit too big tube (5mm) for venting my tires. Did I ruin my tires?

Naw you'll be alright. That's about the size i did mine. No issues.
Can you use a small drill bit and just drill the holes?
Get a small copper rod and attach it to your drill. 3 to 5 mm tubing will do it.1.) Why do this?
2.) How to do it, if not without a drill?
Thanks.
It allows water to vent out as the tire spins. Without those vent holes on the outside of the tire, they can explode. When tires Ballon from power bleeding due to thin center diff oil, the tire is put under massive pressure. These vent holes release all that preasure and water ??Thanks. That answers the second question, but what about the first?
Even if you don't run in water, I'd say its a good idea. What happens is air gets sucked into the hole on the inside of the rim, travels through the tire and has no place to escape. Its especially important to vent if you don't plan on tuning your center diff. With stock oil, your ganna get a $hit load of power bleed and those tires are gana pancake like crazyOK, thanks. Way back when I was well into nitro 8th scale, and never heard of doing that on the outside. I guess big brushless power makes things different, causing the tires to pancake as they do...
ps And if you never really run in water?....
The last time one of my unvented tires ripped open i was amazed at the amount of dirt in there. So i assume something will always find its way into the tires as soon as you run offroad.OK, thanks.
