Could it be H2O got into the foam? Is everything nice and snug? Screws and such?

Tire can be unbalanced, like water sand or dirt got into the wheels/foams. Make sure the wheel is fully on the hex? Anything all straight and not bent? Like axles, links, ect. Could also be bearings too.

I have never run it in water...I suppose some water may have gotten in the tires from washing it down...I ran it in sand one time for a couple minutes that may be a possibility also. all screws nuts ECT are tight ...I have only run about 6 packs through this car it's nearly brand new. Also the tire on my XMAXX are badly out of balance I suspect sand and broken foam inserts is the culprit there.
