Max I said it was **not** cold out. the rims I run now would never do that at below freezing ... don't put words in my mouth! I think these rims are ***pure trash*** (for any 8th scale that gets run, not even run hard). 10th scale Id say go for it but I don't like to see guys glue up 40+ bucks in...
I honestly just ran over that stick Max. it was way above freezing thats just left over snow pack down from a good 24 inches. you can see the mud and grass in the rim the ground was a sponge... Venting the rubber is better for any tire then the rim anyways. A leather punch works best 4 holes...

Nitro came off the shelf yesterday. should be 100% for tomorrow and I just ran all my lipos past the hyperions... few more days and the flux will be back up. the D8 is sitting looking at me funny but give her a bump and she should fire. 8T is missing a motor and the ese blitz was terrorizing the...
Just leave it a lil fat and don't worry about it. Get her run in and happy. Its going to take a good gal b4 shes not going to spike temps and be unhappy so take your time. Just be careful with -=HOT=- plugs. Not so much concern with med and colds
I didnt change shims for run in and I even took one out after she was well worn in for more jam on 30%. The recommendation from OFNA is to protect the motor. Its sound advice if you don't know what detonation sounds like. I can tune and know what is good and bad for the motor so never had a...
