I'm confused, how did that happen? lol.

looks like the tires were ballooning, and you landed on the rear so it tore the tire and ripped the body?

It came apart in mid air, actually landed on the front tires. The body is beat from wheelies LOL

Very interesting question. Wonder if that could be a part of why.

No sound at all, the wheels are vented. For some reason I have been noticing the rear tires getting softer for the last week or two...Not sure why it happen but it was cool to see LOL. Also the foams are very tough, after it blew I finished off the tank before I saved it, about a half tank of running and not a tear in them.

I wonder if this could be a tire problem,Couple of people have had that happen already,I've never seen or had this problem before.

LOL! that is awesome! Guess what? New tires for SM!!!! Its weird because its a clean cut.

 

[SMaxxin]

I have seen it before but the tire was torn up. The edge were the damage is on this tire is very smooth, almost like it was cut with a razor.

 

[Plaidfish]

I've seen it happen when the foams got wet and the guy kept driving it...I figured the Foam was too heavy to be ballooning out and tore it though....

 

[Nitro_Freak]

haha that's really wierd.. never seen that happen before.

Am I missing something, or does the carnage that everyone speaks of actually look alot like two boxes with red x's inside?
