rim holes or no holes

[chbronco]

I run, rpm , maximisers glued, there are air tight,should I run holes, water do you guys do?(no doubt more bouncer air tight, but less water in)

Its up to you but, if they were my tires I would put rim holes because then if that little bit of air did escape I wouldn't have a sucked in tire or flat sided tire.

Yes drill some vent holes, if you don't then your tire will just spin but when you put the vent holes the tire can flex more and you will get more traction..

Thanks guys, makes good, sense holes will be drilled!

this next comment might cauze some controversy but:

if you're gonna vent your tires, get a hole-punch and vent the tire not the rim.

centrifugal force will throw the water (& dirt, debris) out the hole in a tire, but never out the hole in a rim.

hmm frddyj that does make sense but never heard of doing that before....

 

[what the FLUX]

I agree with frddyj. I hole-punch my tyres even if the wheel is vented.

I have put 4 vents in my rubber for years now. I even go as far to tape over rim holes.

With out vents the tires will be bouncy like balloons. So yes vent either way.

+4. When I first started looking at directions with HPI trucks. I found this in the europe site.

Since then I have followed his recommendations when ever I do my tires.

Yep four holes at 12,3,6,9 in the tires. I stager them from one side to the other on the tire. I use a leather hole punch to make them.
