What's up with this?????
I purchased a set of Goose Bumps a couple weeks back and went to the track to do some testing yesterday. Ran my usually setup and tires to get a base line to work from, put on the Goose bumps and back out to get results on handling. After the first battery made a shock adjustment but didn't notice any problems with the tires (didn't expect any so I admitt I didn't do an inspection). Second battery in and now making full throttle runs and working on faster laps. About half way through the battery I come down the front straight and hear this awful noise coming from my truck. Some one yells "you're blowing the tire off the rim". Upon inspection the photo shows what I found on one of the tires. A second tire had came loose from the rim and upon inspection I found it had glue in only 1 spot about 1/4" long on the outside, inside seemed to be glued around the entire rim. I don't understand how this got through quality, nor do I understand why the tire's rubber appears to be breaking apart. Can someone please explain this to me? Is this what I can expect when I buy these tires?

For the old people.
Shoes=wheels. Wheels in particular Rulux. Lol In reference to the 22 and 22t.
My issue with JC are their " locking" 10th scale wheel nuts. They lock as much as a paper clip. Ruined two sets of Rulux wheels. Forgot to loc tite them and hate to cut off another pair or new flip outs. Lol.
Went back to nylon nuts. But they did ship me a new set of rims, from my first blow out. So their CS are respectable. Shoot them an email and they may send u a voucher or something. But premounts almost always need re gluing.
