Never seen it done this way. I must say, it seem like a better way to do it rather than just rapping it around the tire with glue. Thanx for the tutorial! 🙂👊
Cheers man, yea I'm not a fan of just wrapping, if you can get it under the tread blocks it's going to last a lot longer
Thanks for posting. I am doing this now using your method that I slightly modified on the Backflip LPs. Instead of having a short end of line on the needle, I pulled the line even. So I did two lines with each wrap around. Only pierced each lug twice, but got four wraps.
Nice man I was thinking of doing the same next time, let me k ow how it works? 😁😁👍👍
@@bournemouthrc4371 I just posted some pics in a thread on the Arrma Forums in the tires and wheels section. I linked your video in the post too. Took it out yesterday and saw next to no ballooning. Thanks again!
@@jkelly898 awesome cheers man. Yea that reminds me to update my thread with it. Thanks for sharing 😁😁👍👍
@@bournemouthrc4371 Here's my comparison of them with and without wraps:

Was able to wrap my Copperhead 2 on the Kraton6S V5, thanks for the tips. It's a labor of love for sure
Glad it helped. Time consuming but well worth it
Best vid for belting your tyres available. Thanks buddy.
Cheers man, I'm glad it helped 😁😁👍👍
Well done! Cristal clear. Thanks
interesting idea, thx for sharing....but why 3 times around? that seems excessive work to me
if it doesn't expand one circulation must be enough to stop the tire balooning
I've always taped my bigger tires from the inside but not ideal as well and kinda PITA to do although probably faster than this method but you must have wheel and tires and last few years the trend is going more to pre-mounted only (Proline no longer sell all tires and wheels seprately)
you can technically use some CA uncure or bake them in oven but that is even bigger effort
Hi, probably best straps in world so far, thanks for this!!! I just got Kraton 6s and making the basic and cheap upgrade before first use. So I ordered some black fishing line same as yours... I have just one concern is durability and my brand new tyres.... do you have update? Do you recommend for noob who hates ballooning? Cheers from Cambridge
Hi man. I have been running these for months now. They have been really good, only one has broken and come undone
thank you clair and ian sent me
Awesome cheers man. Glad it helped
That was very helpful thank you for making this video RcFam4Life 🤜🤛👊🏎💯
Cheers man
@@bournemouthrc4371 Cheers Brother
Hi, thanks for taking the time to do this vid! 👍🏼
Can tyres be purchased that don’t balloon do you know to save doing this?
Thanks
Darren.
Yes you can buy some belted ones but they are very heavy and extra weight cases more breakages
Oh I see...guess I’ll be busy doing what you have shown us then! 👍🏼
nice man
you got a new sub
Cheers man😁😁👍👍
@@bournemouthrc4371 thanks bro
Great video! How long do the lines last before they start to break or come loose?
Cheers man, I have only run 1 complete 6s pack through them and they are not showing any signs of wear yet. I think if you keep an eye on them and apply I little more glue every now and then they should last a very long time.
ive run them for 1 year already mine has came off i made this mod my self i run on road alot and do speed runs so if u going off road its a must it will never break mine broke when i used up all the threads
Bournemouth RC how long did they end up lasting??
Awesome info video , good job my friend.
Cheers man😁😁👍👍
Does anyone know if I could just glue the line down bc I have 2.2 badlands so the tread is not big enough to do this exactly?
Thanks in advance!
If you can get round the tyre and avoid tread lumps yes tie it tight and glue it down
Ok thank you, hopefully this will stop my 2.2 badlands from becoming 5.6 pizza cutters
All the time i have see this done to wheels they burst every time in like 20 mins of bashing I have never see this method last but the tape trick will stop the ballooning jt need to get a gd tape that doesn't stretch put the tyre inside out tape them up and glue to rims or lock rims and the time it take is no where near as long probably 2min over standard time of setting a wheel up in the first place so u could do it on a track day if they do go with line method it time to go home if no spear tyres line up as spares
Mine are still going strong 6 months later, yea I have seen the tape method as well but that adds a lot of weight to the wheels which can lead onto more damage. I will try the tape method soon and see how it compares
Dear god man, show us the speed test on them.
Do you vent your tyre's once strapped
Yes I actually had vented them before I strapped them
@@bournemouthrc4371 thanks for the quick reply.so center of the tire two holes opposite each other.
smith yes I did 4 holes one every 90 degrees, but 2 should be fine as well, I just gets rid of any water inside the tyres
I have a bunch of questions...lol. I am new to this and just got my first RC car. So here are my questions. 1. Is ballooning always bad? if not when is it good and what is it good for. 2.If ballooning is always bad then why don't the tire companies make them not balloon in the first place.
I'm pretty new myself but I think cost is part of it. You can get belted tires that don't really balloon but they are almost twice the cost.
Good questions, no ballooning isn't always bad but can cause the tyres to explode when at very high speeds, they do make belted tyres to not balloon but then the weight of them goes up and the heavier your tyres the more things will break on bad landings
Yea they do make them but be careful of weight as well 👍
@@bournemouthrc4371 that's another reason I've been apprehensive about going belted.
Gorilla tape on the inside works so much better.
Ru martyn from Kevin Talbot and Claire’s RCs
No I'm not Martyn, but I do go out bashing with them as well sometimes
Ok
Bit then y in Claire’s most recent vid she puts a link to martyn James’ channel and it comes up with Bournemouth rc
@@capajedi ahh yes I am James from her video (Bournemouth RC)
Oh ok
Btw this was a rlly helpful vid
Can you jus do it for me I will pay u
That ballooning is for grip
Sorry but that's not correct, when a tyre balloons it becomes thinner and therefore less contact area and less grip. I can tell you from experience that you have a lot better grip when you have strapped them
Lol
Interesting but too much like work!
Yea its not an easy one takes alot of time
Fuck all this buy belted tires
