When Do 3-Piece Wheels Need Their Tires Vented or Glued?

from The RC Deep Dive · host RC Deep Dive

Generally speaking Tamiya's innovative three-piece R/C model vehicle kit wheels do not require gluing or venting of the tires. However, when you start putting ludicrously fast super powered motors and batteries in these vintage and rere (re-release) radio-controlled cars, trucks, buggies, vans, and jeeps these steps will need to be taken. In this episode of the RC Deep Dive podcast, we break down the laws of physics and give you the speed limits where you need to start venting and where you need to start gluing your RC tires to your classic three-piece wheels.
