Trying to figure it out... Does anyone find that punching holes in the tires causes undue or premature wear and tear on the tires themselves?
My stock losi SC truck rims came with a hole in the rim. On my loosely packed practice track the rear tires filled with sand. I just took the tire off two days ago to get the sand out. Wish i took a picture cuz It was a nice size pile per tire. So I plugged the holes in the rim and put em in the tread. And no more sand in the tires.
