Those of you who have been to the Berwyn Bashes and have seen Firesprink TRY to run the Menace probably remember the trouble he had trying to keep the tires on the rim.
Today, we went out for a short bash session, and Bill decided to run the menace. After a couple passes, it was about warmed up and ready to start shifting. As the truck started to pick up speed, we heard the RPM's climbing. Just after the truck shifted, we heard this wierd pop, and were surprised at what we saw flying from the truck....

The chunk of tire went flying one way, and the foam ripped in half and went flying the other way. Needless to say, the Menace's run-time was cut short.... :bustingup

He said that the foam flew out...But yeah the stock tires don't use foam because they're stiff....

He's tried a few different styles of tires on the Menace. One set was lost at Berwyn. When turning while moving a bit too fast, one side of the truck came up. The tires instantly ballooned out, ripping free from the glue. They were spinning so fast, when they hit the ground, all we saw was a blur shooting into the woods....

those are imex claw dawg tires. they have/hade a foam insert. it was keeping up with a revo when it was in first, as soon as it hit second the tire blew out. there was no cracks and the tire was not old. it just puts that muck stress on the tire.

WOW! That is unreal. I bought those tires for my Stampede when I had the Novak BL in it. They were the only tires that could handle the BL speed and not balloon out and blow off. And you ripped THEM off the rim??? Thats a lot of power!

Wow, have you tried the new factory tires similar to those? I drove one and they seemed to work ALOT better than the spikes do.
