Tire BLOWOUT

[mxracer]

I was driving my Nitro Rustler the other day.
I was going so fast that one of my tires just blew ALL(not a bit left) the foam out.I was woundering if I can still run the car with no foam in the left tire.
There is just a little hole the foam came out of.
When the car sits on its wheels it is just a tiney bit lower on the left.



Thanks

You can, but I do not recommend it. It is the same as running a full size car on a flat...you'd be running on the rim for impact absorption. When running at speed, the wheel will balloon out like a donut and not maintain its shape as readily.

So, can you run without foam? Yes.

Is it wise to run without foam? Probably not.

I am still sick from nirto poisioning an have to hang up the remote for awhile and was puting wd-40 in my car and noticeed that there were holes in both the tires and was running with no foam for awhile.

some people run no foam off road for more traction but i wouldnt suggest if if your going to be jumping unless u want to buy sum new rims

The only vehicles I have heard of that run with no tire foams are rock crawlers. These vehicles move at 3-5 mph and need the tires to deform and wrap around the rocks.

I would remove the tires and put new foams in. They are only a buck or so a piece.

How do I get the tire off the rim??????????????

If they have been glued, then you need to remove them carefully ...some boil them to soften the glue, ... others slowly cut them from the rim right where the glue joint is kind of scraping them off the rim. It will really depend on whether or not the glue is spot glued or completely covers the bead of the tire.
