    Daaum bro. I've searched the web all day long. Everybody is like,buy a belted tire, buy a new servo, you can't put smaller tires in, top speed will be less. But this is like the result for a dollar. I will be greatful to you always.

    Great tip. Duct tape is strong and the glue they put on the duct tape is quite good so with a clean surface it's a great way of solving the ballooning. The tape is used on dirty HVAC ducting so I'm sure it's a great way to go with clean surface. It's better than drywall tape and shoe glue.

    • @DaveofRCPatrol
      @DaveofRCPatrol  2 года назад +1

      You are correct...must make sure the surface is as clean as possible. Thanks for commenting and watching the video! Have a good one!

    I did this today and it saved me a fortune buying hard to find belted tyres. On an 8s truck this completely solved the serious front ballooning problem I was having. Many thanks!

    I would also suggest you glue the foam to the wheel. Also balance your wheels will help with keep you in a straight path

    • @DaveofRCPatrol
      @DaveofRCPatrol  Год назад

      Indeed. Thanks for the comment! Balancing is that extra step that can work wonders on-road and off. Definitely, a positive move to balance the wheels after. I have tried balanced and unbalanced, and on my basher, it did not matter as much as on my on-road vehicles. All-in-all, good balancing is vital to the best performance. Gluing the foams to the wheel, I have never tried. I will have to see how that method works in the future. Thanks again.

    @dfwboxingisback9173 7 лет назад +4

    I have found ballooning makes you go faster. Consistency is the loss....but whenever tires are ballooning (assuming the tire is good) the problem is with the powertrain's torque. In nitro vehicles, it's almost always the clutch

    • @DaveofRCPatrol
      @DaveofRCPatrol  7 лет назад

    • @DaveofRCPatrol
      @DaveofRCPatrol  8 лет назад

      I can believe it...you may need to invest in some real belted tires, and see how they do. Although I run 6s on my MM2 in my Summit with taped Road Rage 3.8's and I have not blew them off yet. thanks for viewing and commenting my friend.

    • @DaveofRCPatrol
      @DaveofRCPatrol  Год назад +1

    How thick is your tape? Or how many times a tire do you normally go? Have you ever tried taping the foam in it as well? I am not a fan of bead lock so I glue my tires and ever so often when racing I break a bead and throw that foam ring, the tire is kind of done at that point, then I gotta trade tires for the remainder and it’s time for new bead lock, just curious I imagine you have experimented this method. Last question have you ever tried “home foam method where you use spray foam inside your tires? It’s messy as hell, but if you add a little armourall or oil to the outside of rims and tires when the foam expands filling the outside of the tire it won’t stick to anything and will just break off when the tires and stick to the wheels or rims.

    • @DaveofRCPatrol
      @DaveofRCPatrol  Год назад +1

      I'm sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I have not used the methods you described. They would be worth a try. Since duct tape works in most situations I have encountered, I never tried anything else. My main go-to to prevent ballooning is to find a proper foam...I like to use Crawler Innovation Deuces Wild foams for that purpose. If they do not have a solution, that is when the good old duct tape saves the day. 😎 Thanks for viewing and commenting.

    At first i thought he was going to wrap the foam with the tape sticky side up which is similar. Then he makes a "belted" tire for whatever he spent on the tape .

    Please excuse my newbie question but my understanding is that you vent your tires for two purposes. 1. to keep your tires from ballooning as much, and 2. To allow any debris or moisture/water that might be I’ve gotten inside to expel. Personally I’d rather not put holes in my tires if I don’t have to, but could you kindly set me straight on this topic? Thank you very much for the wonderful videos!

    • @Dcment
      @Dcment 2 месяца назад

      I have not personally tried this method on the tires mentioned, so I cannot be 100% sure. At those speeds, I would feel that if you tried this method, it would be wise to possibly balance the tire after taping. But that is still an opinion, as I have no experience with the tires you mentioned. Thanks for watching and commenting!

  • @JohnFHendry
    @JohnFHendry 7 лет назад +3

    Excellent video... really shows how far behind RC tire tech is compared to full scale tires. Past the research on rubber compounds used and foam padding with tread designs to work with the soft material these are little little more than improved toy "look alike" tires that behave poorly above 4S geared fast. Modern RC tires need to be made composite and use Kevlar and other materials available... this video shows how simple eliminating the most obvious problem is but this is just an important step in the right direction as far as real performance issues go.
    Any race car driver will tell you your tires are EVERYTHING and nothing works well if they don't work well. IMO RC Cars are only 50% real RC "hobby grade" scale models right now because the tires being used are still toy tires. It will take a large tire manufacture like Michelin that understands the complexity of building good tires to step in and do it right when the money available in the RC Car & Truck Hobby attracts them.... not sure what they are waiting for at this stage in the game... huge market with established cash flow increasing with FPV that needs round wheels. If you want see how bad RC tires and wheels are drive them FPV and you will see how out of round some are. You really notice your tires when you get in and drive the car yourself rather that watch it being driven LOS. You feel what's happening when you are inside the car and you want good tires and wheels in perfect balance to make the FPV view smooth when you hit the gas... remember the wheels are 4 gyros creating stability.... WHEN balanced well.

    good walkthrough. just wondering what the advantage of doing this is? And one thing I can definitely say helps is to balance your wheel/tire after mounting the tire. I use dynamite balancing tape since it's light. It may take more of the weights to balance heavier beadlocks and rock crawler setups, but anything that goes fast it will run much smoother when the wheels/tires aren't out of balance. This is probably more useful for on road vehicles and high speed buggies or trucks than a crawler.

    Thanks for the video. Do you also glue the tyres after taping them?

    • @DaveofRCPatrol
      @DaveofRCPatrol  6 лет назад +1

      If you mean, to the wheel? Yes, if you have that style of wheel, in the video I used beadlocks, so no glue was needed. If you meant, adding a layer of glue after the tape...I have never used glue with tape, the tape has been enough for me. Thanks for watching and commenting.

  • @micalwilson2567
    @micalwilson2567 8 лет назад +1

    sorry if i sound ignorant but i dont see the point in taping tires to stop ballooning for offroad anyway. the way i see it if your pinned down a straight and your tires are ballooning then there is less tire contact with the track -so less friction= more speed? i understand that there is loss of grip also, but their not usually ballooning around corners and while acelerting were grip is needed. if you get what im trying to say

    • @Radiocontrolpatrol
      @Radiocontrolpatrol 8 лет назад +1

      What your saying depends on the type of motor setup. With a high power setup you will get ballooning in corners as well if your in loose terrain. The method is for those that want to stop balooning, if your not getting that...not for you. :) In my case...it worked well for me, considering driving while ballooned is VERY different than not ballooning. Tested and tried time after time. Much better ride and control without the ballooning. But as I said, not for everyone or every situation.

    • @micalwilson2567
      @micalwilson2567 8 лет назад +2

      +Radio Control Patrol im running a 10.5 on a 80amp esc system which is the max turns for 2wd mod sct in my country and i dont get tire balooning while turning while turning unless im doing donuts and my truck starts to diff out. but i can understand how that happens with 4wd vehicles when turning and on loose terain were it may become necessary but surely if ballooning was a consistent negavite characteristic tire manufacturers would change so the didnt do it. and i get what your saying

    • @DaveofRCPatrol
      @DaveofRCPatrol  8 лет назад

      I understand totally. The problem is not that big of a deal for most people, so companies will not change how they design tires for the small crowd of RC powermongers out there. Methods like this can help if needed! If you don't need to tape them...no worries...For me...worked like a charm and much more stable.

    Can this be done with crawler tires for my fast desert truck? I want a narrow tire and cant seem to find any for my senton.

    • @DaveofRCPatrol
      @DaveofRCPatrol  Год назад

      This method can be done with any tire...BUT...I would look into some of the closed-cell foams for SC trucks that Crawler Innovation makes. I have used those for Short Course trucks, including my Senton, which has SC Raid wheels and SC tires from Pro-Line Racing. The Crawler Innovation foams are stiff and make for a very nice option to help ballooning and handling compared to the stock foams most tires come with. crawlerinnovations.com/deuces-wild/2-2-3-0/

    • @Radiocontrolpatrol
      @Radiocontrolpatrol 8 лет назад +3

      +Andrew Siekierda Pre-mounts are a bit more tricky, as you have to remove the tire from the wheel first. I have done it before, but it is a pain to pull off. But if you are good with removing tires from wheels, then it's worth a shot.

      I know the feeling oh too well. That's why my Rustler sits on taped
      tires as of now. The vibration and stretching of the tire was causing
      the same problems as you stated. Works like a charm now. Thanks for

    Awesome video !! Do you have to sand paper the tires and wash them off with alcohol ?

    • @DaveofRCPatrol
      @DaveofRCPatrol  8 лет назад +1

      I did the sandpaper and alchohol to make sure the tape sticks to the tire over time. A clean surface is always better when applying tapes and adhesives. Thanks for watching and commenting my friend!

    • @cameronmardis
      @cameronmardis 8 лет назад +1

      Dave of RC Patrol Ok, also I watched most of the videos on RUclips on how to take the tires off of the rims . What is the best way to do it without warping the wheel or destroying the tire/foam ?

    • @DaveofRCPatrol
      @DaveofRCPatrol  8 лет назад

      That is a tough one. I have tried a heat gun as well as boiling water. I
      managed to save the foams as they were closed cel foams. The
      wheels...depending upon what kind they are is a different story. Some
      have had success...some have failed with boiling water...mine came out
      ok..just be careful and wear gloves.

    • @cameronmardis
      @cameronmardis 8 лет назад +1

      Dave of RC Patrol Well I usually only run Proline and Traxxas rims on my trucks . Will they be ok ?

    • @DaveofRCPatrol
      @DaveofRCPatrol  8 лет назад

      They should be fine. Just be careful and don't leave them boiling too
      long. It takes some patience and time. I did them one side at a time and
      cooled in between.

  • @natekrug37
    @natekrug37 3 года назад +1

    What kinda of sandpaper did you use?

    • @DaveofRCPatrol
      @DaveofRCPatrol  3 года назад

      Doesn't really matter that much, as all you are trying to do is scuff the surface a bit, so the tape sticks better. I use 400grit, 320grit before, and 600 as well. I wouldn't go too fine like over 1000 grit, but don't go too low like 100 grit. My experience lies with the grits I mentioned so, if you would like to try some different, feel free to. I am just letting you know what I used in the past. Thanks for commenting.

    • @DaveofRCPatrol
      @DaveofRCPatrol  4 года назад

      Some people would use this method to keep the tires from ballooning which can cause unwanted handling characteristics. It’s a matter of choice really and this method has worked for me in the past. Now days, tire companies are making belted tires which handle the problem just as well if not better.

    @evhexrc1765 6 лет назад +1

    Do you like the split six beadlocks better than SC rims that need to be glued? What are the upsides of beadlocks instead of glued rims? What are the downsides?

    • @DaveofRCPatrol
      @DaveofRCPatrol  6 лет назад +2

      I will not say I like one over the other. They both have their purposes. I like the beadlocks simply because tire changing is easy. When you wear out a set of tires you can just unscrew and change them out. Glued tires are a little more hard to change up. Performance wise...the beadlocks on higher power systems will allow the bead t he come loose sometimes. Not all the time but if your doing a lot of tire off the ground throttling...lol..then the ballooning and stretching of the tire will pull out of the beadlock. So for those situations...glued is better. Hope that helped.

    • @NPCRC
      @NPCRC 6 лет назад +2

      actually it is one layer of tape, 2 max for the higher 6S plus. The key is to heat the tape after installing as evenly as you can and then smooth it out and press it all down... The heat gun activates the glue creating a bind with the rubber, also making the tape fold and crease easier where needed
