some video for ya
Just found alittle spot to practice. other than my couch...lol........ I need to make my tires more flexible. I just have the stock foam. Should I get memory foam
or cut the foam that's in there now, into a star shape...or what's the best thing to do guys? They need to grip and mold to the rock to pull me up.
I thought maybe just take the foam totaly out...What do u guys do?

Thanks , yea I do have two 1/8" hole in each rim.
That helped alittle. I think I still need to do somethink else
They need to form to the rock and push and pull it's way up them.
Right now , when I get stuck, they just spin on the rocks.

RE: some video for ya
Sorry for not wrighting back sooner. That's the AX10 scorpion kit.... I got it used off of Craigs list. That rock pile, at one point is like a 75 deg. angle. Well I took all the foam out
of the tires. And went over to the steapest part of the hill. That made a BIG diff. Where i was just spining on the rock...This time the front tires griped like hands and pulled me
right up. I did noticed that the back tires do need alittle foam in them. So i cut a star patern in the foam. and trimed it so the foam is now more narrow. Now it has a flex in the side wall and the tire dosn't bottom out. The rear tires were getting pinched between the rocks when it was tring to push the truck forward. I'll let u guys know on the next test.
