Do they even still have Malls? 🤔
Very few remain. Here in the bowels of the US, Georgia many call it, a rarely seen Mall, The Mall of Georgia, can still be seen. Although it's feral, a spectacular beauty in its original habitat of Buford, GA, it yields a 4d movie theater, a P.F. Chang's, Barnes n Noble, an Old Navy 🤯 & a Nordstrom's. Some stay up long into the night during the Christmas season to get a glimpse of this incredible creature as it sports wildly different colors only during this season.
 
I bet his wheel bearings hate him too. Engineers design stuff to work a certain way. Especially automotive engineers. That huge offset is going to do more damage than that stupid tire mounting will. And his scrub steer has to be terrible. Putting a bunch of strain on his power steering pump. I wouldn't be surprized if the tires don't shutter real bad when turning the wheel while not rolling.
Hell on ball joints too. HD trucks are hard enough in factory trim on suspension parts, lifted, crazy offset, no sidewall compliance.. fuggetaboutit. LOL.

Yeah, that's right. It creates more side load by using a bigger lever. It throws everything out of whack huh.

A truck can be lifted/built correctly.
Slapping hockey pucks under a truck for a body lift and giant spacers on top of your springs for instant regret seems more likely here tho. 🙄
 
Guys, guys, GUYYYYYYS….

RELAX.

It’s cool… He obviously pee’s sitting down.. -and while holding a weiner..🤷🏻‍♂️🤣

Let people have fun and spend their own money themselves🤦 "what are the real life applications of an RC car?"
We have shelf queens in our RC world as well.
i havent gotten to that point yet sadly, i break and repair all of mine, but i totally agree, i was hella polite and made sure they knew i thought they had a cool toy, but bro
also my shelf queen (when i get her) is not as likely to kill someone as a poorly or scarily mounted tire driving past my car door.
I don't get being so desperate for attention, that you will ruin the performance, of one of the most expensive things you own. 🤔
thats what I'm saying lol
As dumb as this may be.. it’s not quite as dumb as the moron I just saw yesterday. Driving down the freeway doing 80+ mph on two spare tiny doughnut tires on SAME SIDE of the car! 😳
Not only risking his own life but everyone else on the freeway! Those F’n things are not made to go faster than 30mph and just far enough to get you to the shop!! 🙄
i stay far away from them if i can thats scary AF! bet they had em on there for weeks too... smh
I knew if we kept going, the answer would become evident!
They are "indoor tires" for indoor mall storage!

i didnt even know this was a thing... man I'm poor lol we just park em in the driveway or garage, never driven to a showroom garage lol

the irony here... so the owner was a lady, of the manly variety, often reffered to by the name of a horned animal and a long wall or embankment built to prevent flooding from the sea. and i would bet all my rc cars that your description is still uber accurate

I grew up a couple blocks away from a Jackalope Levee. She rode dirt bikes and hopped up cars, etc. I saw her get in a fight one day. The other girl did her typical dog paddle like slap moves, turning her head away and Jackalope Levee just moved in and drilled her like 20 times like she was in a UFC fight. It was painful to watch. She'd definitely be one to drive a jacked up 4x4, but it would be covered in mud.
