i got my masher 2000 in the mail yesterday... their HUGE... and i dyed the wheels black so now my car looks evil... muahahah[>:]

anyway i made an awful mistake... when i was gluing the tires i made sure i had 2 wheels on the left with the chevrons (tire Tread) forward and 2 wheels on thr right with the chevraons forward that way they would all face the same way... well i did that right but i didnt chech to see if they were the front or rear wheel!! [X(]so nnow this is what happend
1. front right tire - chevrons face foward
2. front left tire - chevrons face backward
3. back right tire - chevrons face backward
4. back left tire - chevrons face foward

CRAP so these are my questions

1. this odd Tire tread setup shouldnt affect anything right??
2. im using a speed gem 15x2 motor so i dropped the pinion size one for the added tire weight... is this enough?
3. when the glue dried on the rim and tire i turned white!! how should i get rid of this


hope this post isnt too confusing

I'd boil the 2 that are on backwards and reglue them after the foam inserts are dry. As far as running them that way, I wouldn't know.

Those have a very aggressive tread. Aside from looking silly, it'll drive silly too. Heat up a pan of water and pull 'em off - it'll be worth the trouble.

definitely go down a tooth or two on your pinion and see how it does

you definately want to fix it... I once mounted mine wrong and the truck had alot of steering traction problems.... worth the fix

im not really worried about them "looking funny"

i just took it out for a test/ adjust slipper run... and my car was acting really funny

when i gave it throttle it went in reverse and when i put it in revese it went forward... this happens every once in a while and i just turn everything off and on and then its gone... but today it wouldnt stop... so i ran the whole battery that way.. also every once in a while the car would just stop by the time i ran up to the car it worked again... whats that about?

as for the tires it wasnt too weird... i think im just gonna leave them that way... also the tires were a little slippery because they were brand new...

i just tried putting on the endbell the other way and now the car remote works fine every time but i dont know why it was stopping every once in a while... ill try again later i guess

I'd bet it was overheating from being run in reverse too much.

will boiling it ruin the dyed wheels?

The dye is soaked up into the wheels so I wouldn't think so
