To vent or not to vent

[robmob]

How many of you guys use vent holes in your tire and wheel combo?

 

[slowngreen]

i do on all of my crawlers but not on my scaler.

 

[alpinehyperlite]

vent, but drill the holes in rims, not tires

 

[NCNitro]

I drill a hole in each rim especially with a beadlock rim. If you don't you will have some bouncy tires and thats no good at all for crawling.

 

[slowngreen]

oh yeah bouncy and if you skwoosh one really good it wont come back.

 

[alpinehyperlite]

i drill a hole every 1/3 of the rim. Works perfectly for me.

i vent on my crawler but the scalers get no vents. i do try to dink with the air pressure in the tire compared to the ambient pressure around it.

I've got to be really, REALLY frustrated before I vent.
Usually that will happen when I run out of spray wax for my Savage.

I've always vented tires.

Looks like holes in the wheels are the norm which is what I do as well.

I was seeing where some guys were punching holes in the tires with a leather punch.

So then I SHOULD drill small holes in my Baja wheels?

 

[alpinehyperlite]

I had seen that too, but just seemed stupid to me.

 

[robmob]

I have no vent holes in my Baja tires & wheels.

 

[slowngreen]

yeah i see not to much point in doing it on anything other than a crawler where you want the tires to form to the surface as much as possible...

 

[robmob]

I always put vent holes in my buggy, truggy and monster truck rims that were glued.

I think most 1/10th scale truck and buggy wheels come with vent holes already in them, at least all mine came that way, my crawler wheels I drilled holes in my self.

+1 on this

 

[robmob]

I remember having to drill holes in some rims. I believe they were ProLine Velocity because they were yellow.

 

[h8z2luze]

I have 3 decent sized holes in each rim on my ax-10. Just make sure you dont store it on the tires.

 

[Brushlessboy]

I vent the tyres on my trucks, truggies and buggies, but just the wheels on the crawlers...
