    Please if anyone can help…I fail to read this part of the instructions for my new TRX4 HIGH LIFT. I was not planning to go in water any time soon, but I did today, it was a lot of fun, however, my tires are full of water😢 WHAT CAN I DO IN THIS CASE…? They are soaked inside. I squeezed the tires but lots of water remained in ther. When I squeezed the tires, water came out of that little hole on the wheel, I assume…please help. Thanks much in advance!🙁👍

      If you haven't found out yet, you can take it off and blowdry into the holes. Worked for me

    It’s sad how many tires have been wrecked because the vent holes inside the rims weren’t enough to fully rid the tires and the inside foams of the excess water and even if the tires were barely in water they still never seemed to vent good enough !! But obviously thanks for letting out this vid as it will help many from more wrecked tires and never knowing what was causing their problems as they thought the two vent holes inside the rims were supposed to take care of the water that got inside the rims !! Keep up the Great Work and Vids ! Stay and Play Safe ! 👊👍

      The holes in the wheels aren't for water, they are to let air in and out so the tires aren't bouncy.

      Also, if you're mounting new tires onto new wheels, I like using a leather punch before mounting the tires. Gives a nice cleanly cut hole

    But why do you need to put holes in the tyres?

    • @markoftheus
      @markoftheus Рік тому +3

      Venting the tires helps get rid of water or sand from inside the tire while still allowing the tire to "breathe" as it flexes going over bumps.

      If the truck doesn't move but you can hear the motor spin when you give throttle, you most likely have a loose set screw on the pinion or your motor mounting screws came loose. If you don't hear the motor running, try recalibrating the speed controller.

      The electronics are waterproof. That said, you'll still want to thoroughly clean and dry your vehicle because steel parts like screws and bearings can rust.

    • @markoftheus
      @markoftheus Рік тому

      That can work but in the long run I wouldn't recommend it. If you seal off your tire completely with no sort of ventilation at all, over time your beads may start to de-bond from the wheels due to pressure build-up in the tire, particularly if you do a lot of jumping.
