I find that the V2 has more cornerspeed giving the car more rotation and steering. So if the track is super high grip then go with the V2's.

I Keep getting knots in my foams after only a few uses. I cut the inside edge off of the foams before mounting. Is this causing the knots or is there any other reason you can think of of why I keep having this problem? Thanks.

Sounds like you might be using thin glue and it's getting into the foam. Cut the tire open and see what is going on in there.

Yes definetly sounds like a glue issue....When your done with that tire cut it apart and if there is a rock hard foam on the outside of the foam it is from the foam sucking up the glue....Any brand tire will do that if the foam comes in contact with the glue.

Guys,

Are any of you putting vent holes in your 1/10th scale buggy rear tires? I am running V2 Barcodes with the molded blue inserts and I did vent them; however, when I wash them, they seems to be sucking up a ton more water than my 1/8th scales tires do. Is there really a need to vent the 1/10th scale buggy tires? Thanks for the help!

Not necessary for 1/10th scale tires

When running CC foams you should run a holes in your tires, when your running the standard foam I don't bother. The resin for cc insert is from what I felt and seen is that air doesnt pass threw between the rim and tire and I could even tell a diffrance on the track the tire didnt feel so bouncy. Eather way you still should bc it will help get any water or dirt that got in the tire from the hole in the wheel.

Really? I've never seen or heard of that... I have always been told by sponsored and nonsponsored drivers drill a hole in the wheel, not the tire.
Now 1/8th scale I have seen both schools of thought out there and they both work just as well. Just not on 1/10th scale!
