Default Tire Flat Spot

legend has it, that when you leave your RC vehicle sitting on its tires and not on stands for storage, your tires will have flat spots. Is this flat spots permanent or it will go back to normal? Is this even a thing?

Legend has it right. Flat spot they will. My trucks are stored with the tires attached. The chassis is supported underneath with either a wood 2x4 or 2x6 to keep the tires from grounding. Good luck and welcome to R/C. Cheers. 'AC'
