![You "NEED" to vent your tires! [The best way]](/img/1.gif)
I tried this to get water out of my truggy tires. They were wobbling so badly I was afraid for my chassis. It was very violent.
Well turns out the water was expelled very efficiently. I had to clean my apartment ceiling. And walls. And curtains. And couch. No more wobble though.
😂
BEST METHOD is to use a Diamond Point bit such as a Dremel 7144 which works significantly better than ANY drill bit can!
Much quicker, cleaner cuts, and without any smoke. The 7144 bit also results in the perfect size hole as well, ~2.5mm.
If the rubber is really soft and sticky, a drill bit can bind and not only completely destroy the tire, but also result in injury.
I just tried it and like it more then the drill bit. Thanks.
This is awesome and so simple. Vented all my tires from all cars, even without removing them.
Also, I used to hold a car whilst venting (as you can imagine - it's a mess) ... How did I not think that I can simply put the car upside-down and give it a full throttle run for a few seconds...
Great tips, thank you so much! ❤
Thank you for the tip. It helped me get more rear traction for my Dirt Oval SC MOD
Smart tips, knew I have a Dremmel for something. Thanks
Super informative, loved the video!
Appreciate the knowledge. Love learning something every day.
Thanks. Was shocked to learn most of our tires were filled with sand. This fixed it.
@@RCReviewChannel I have been taking my crawler tires apart to clean the dirt out of them. I'm definatly trying this. My crawler might not spin fast enough to clean it properly but I bet it will get the water out faster
For high speed wheels I'm agree, for low speed I prefer holes on the rim so you can close with tape......
Yeah hi I had the same problem with my slash and I couldn't figure it out now you've done it for me thank you now my new tires won't get all gunked up thanks again watch all the time
Glad I could help
Very good skill 👍👍
thank you
Thank you so much for the info. Learned so much from you! 🙏😁👍👍💯✅‼️
Glad it was helpful!
Great Tip, Thank you!
Thank you. Will try!
Hope you enjoy
Thanks for that good information 🤗🤩
Very informative video as always 👍
Glad you think so!
What size bit did you use? I'm going to use my power drill on high suited because that's what i have. Just need to know what size? Seems to make sense. Just bought new tires. Want to try.
We usually use holes in the wheel, to prevent tire from breaking under extreme traction condition... but your considerations are true...and we will try hole on the tire...
Thanks for your suggestions!
"We", who? 👽
@@blitzkriegazteca642 me and my friends.
An upgrade to my answer: we have tried those holes in the tires and seems not to create problems.
Can you do this for Drag Slicks???
Great info & good explanation of why to vent your tires. What Dremel were you using? I’ve never seen one with a handle like that.
This very old and is called a Dremel Stylus
I just use a hole punch for leather. No drills. No burning. Less time. But that only works before you put the tire on the wheel
Same. True.
Ahhhh i see. That's the part i couldn't figure out. Good option then if one has a leather punch already and mounting the tire oneself.
Does venting your tires help it so it won’t get flat spots on crawler tires?
If dirt gets in from a vented rim, isn't the dirt under the foam? How will that dirt get through the foam to get out of a vented tire? Should a vented rim be sealed once the tire is vented to prevent dirt from getting in on the underside of the foam? Not many people have high speed dremels, I just use a soldering iron and it works great, seals so no tearing, probably is a stronger hole than cutting with a drill.
Can I do this on a proline badlands tire I just bought these today.
but does this stop balooning?? thats what I want to do. gorilla tape glued inside only stops 40 percent??
So my Losi lasernut wheels vented on rim would you seal them up and vent tyre and don't that reck foam
It definitely works... but the foam will deteriorate more quickly when it becomes wet.also mold.
Best to get a belted tire or custom build a set with a duct-tape wrap on the inside of tire,assemble and no Ballon.
Always need holes.lol.no on speed run or dry cars.i cover vent holes in water and high dirt areas.
Heat a sewing needle and push thru off to side of center mold line....2 holes 180° apart from each other
Can i do it to a louise rc tire?
Its a mft pioneer
very Interesting 👍
Thanks for the visit
Hi, what about venting 1/10 onroad tires?
It is NOT the air inside that make the tire go balooni. ... it is the centrifugal force... 😁
i guess he knows that but English isn't his first language so i guess that's the word choosing he chose.
Can you tape the rims only? Then no dirt/water gets in. Not sure why they need a hole. Hosim x08 1/10. Thanks.
I've got TRX6 with stock tires which have vented wheels. Should I vent my tires as well? Should I leave the wheels vented or clog the holes in wheels?
I would think for a crawler you wouldn’t want to vent since you’re not going fast enough to balloon the tires, but I’m a noob so I dunno. Maybe if you’re doing some serious elevation change maybe? Beats me.
I just use a leather punch it’s easier for me at least keep up the awesome work
I also use a leather punch. It is clean and precise.
Great tip!
Vented my xmaxx tyres. Now one of them is dead. Vented my Talion tyres and the whole foam came out of a little 1/8th hole at speed. Not for me this venting anymore . I balance mine with plasticine
I would hesitate strongly to puncture the tires on my Jlb cheetah. The rims already have vent holes, and can be easily sealed off with duct tape. I take mine when we go ice fishing, so it is in contact with snow, water, etc. Better not to get the foreign materials in, than having to clean them out later, I figure.
yes but how does dirt and water get out even if you put tape thats not 100% waterproof he explains it very well why there should be holes on the outside its a physics thing he says but I've been doing the venting on the seem of the tire for 5 years and its a well known trick to balance tires and self clean them.
my traxxas has vent holes on the rim but before i did the trick of putting actually on the tire and on the outside the tire felt very unbalanced and squirting water 💦 out of the tini tiny hole on the rim.
Can you do a video on what happens when you let your etc crawler sit not on a stand seems like the tire isn’t perfectly round @RcReview
Car wasn’t on a stand for a day now the tires don’t seem perfectly round what should I do my first etc 1/10th
Don't do this to really high-speed tires like a 6s truggy. It will rip at the hole. Especially don't do it to your belted tires.
I’ve got some Proline 2.8 and they balloon a lot. Like to much. What I’m asking is if I vent mine will it damage the tire/wheels in anyway. I just really don’t want to have to buy more. Thanks so much!
Will not damage at all unless you bash in sharp rocks. The smaller the hole, the less risk

👏
What size hole? Good video
1/8"
I have a doubt, if you play in fine sand doesn't that kill the tires faster?In which terrain do you recommend doing this or it doesn't affect tire life and performance? Great tips by the way.
If the rim is vented, you will have a problem, but if the tire is vented, it should perform better. Also, if your rims are already vented, you NEED to vent the tires, or else you are going to get water, dust and sand stuck in the tires.
I agree that venting on the tread will help to keep a high speed tyre cleaner internally, venting the side wall of crawler tyres is a much better option. Venting has nothing to do with ballooning though. It is centrifical force on the foam that causes ballooning. If you have tyres that aren't glued yet, put tyre foam bands on the foam then assemble and the ballooning will decrease by about 70%
disagree. vented and unvented tires behave completely different at high speed, everything else being equal.
Unvented tires look like a knife edge at speed.
@@RCReviewChannel I'm not saying don't vent. Even at the start of your vid the vented tyre was ballooning bad. I'm saying that the foam is what causes the bulk of the ballooning. Look at the rc npdr seen. ruclips.net/video/j_Sh6v4EZ8c/видео.html not the most professional way of doing it but you will see what I mean
6:07 ballooning a lil bit is ok yes?? Did this got a lot of water out. But I feel when it balloons up I loose traction.
When you vent, it actually baloons less. Thus more traction. The reason it balloons when unvented is air has weight and the trapped air inside is pushed out with centrifugal force.
@@RCReviewChannel that is true. So I drilled two holes at 12 and 6 o clock. But still get a lot of ballooning. Would it mean the tires are unbalanced? Or I probably need to make the holes larger. Or my last resort would be belted tires. Thank you for your response sir. I watch your channel a lot!
Is 6:07 normal or it needs to be vented.
ruclips.net/video/26LdcVgS6Rw/видео.htmlsi=FNOkt6WGy1jjvAe_ this is mine ballooning.
Why not just put holes on the inside of wheel through the plastic
Worth noting that this wont end well on real car tyres 😎
Yeah I know, My 6s card will start to rip the tire at the hole. I tried it and my tires exploded ripping apart at the hole.
Question.......................if you haven't got holes in your tires the hell are they full of dirt & water????
yes good idea but just to let some viewers know that i did this method to my trax rustler brand new and the foam rapped up around the drill bit and destroyed the tyres unhappy if pre glued hot wire or no glue drill holes with tyres off rims and your nice foams out another problem that this method can cause is it tears the foam in half and feels great to u put them back on car an first run the foam balls up in one 1/8 of the tyre and now its like running with rock in your shoes again very unhappy makes me think this bloke sells tyres for a living so be careful or could be wasting cash
WD40 eats grease
can you give me for email address ill show you for my traxxas
