Did you vent them? I ran mine up to 3S pretty hard and never blew one

They are only vented by the hole in the wheel. Did you make a hole in the tire too?

@Frankthetank
For the most part, if you vent a tire you seal the holes in the wheel (I just use tape, some others use hot glue) and make at least 2 holes in the tire.

Hmmm , I’ll have to try that.

Yes there are many threads here including good videos on venting and how much of a difference it makes. It will save you so many headaches as well as dollars. I was a skeptic, but have since never had a single tire issue, unless you consider bald Hoons an issue.

Cool, I’ll check them out. Thanks!

Exactly what @jondilly1974 says.
I was also skeptic at first, but now every tire I run gets vented before its first bash.

Venting is always great. Your rig though should determine the vent method.

Racing wheels I always vented on the inside of the rim because really I never raced on anything other than dry/manicured tracks.

Bashing, vent the tire and seal the rim if it has a pre-drilled vent hole.

As long as the hot air can escape the tire it helps

I’ll vent mine when i get home And give it a few good full throttle runs and see how it goes. ?

 

[Frankthetank]

So i vented my tires using some rifle brass and it worked great! Took it for a bash and i didn’t lose a tire! Thanks for the help guys.

Just for those that are about to vent tires that could be wet or dirty inside, make sure you don’t pull the throttle indoors or somewhere you don’t want to get dirty. Take it out in the yard and put it up on a block then let r rip. You’ll see rooster tails of crap flying out. Better yet get slomo video.

i noticed one of mine had a drop of water coming out after i vented it. Sure enough it rooster tailed water on the first rip i gave it outside ?.

Had a pretty similar situation, although not because of tire venting.....Was running my BRCC through a muddy field when LVC hit. I wasn't sure if it was LVC or thermal, put in a new 3S pack, and told a buddy of mine to ''Press the throttle SLIGHTLY'' while I had the muddy car still in my hands (wanted to look if everything was fine).....I hadn't finished the word slightly when I had mud all over my jacket, my face and some in my mouth as that motherf****r just let it rip on full throttle...

Tell me there’s video ?

No, there sadly isn't...but believe me, neither him nor me will forget that story xD

Vent the tires. The rums are but the tires are not

I vented my new tires and plugged the wheel holes. So far so good!
