Pink Tapers
I have heard that pink tapers are good at the track. Is that right, even for 1/10 4wd. It seems like pink tapers are in short supply -- why is that, are they just a new product or something. If I can't find pink tapers, what is the best tire for the track that is more easily found?
Re: Pink Tapers
As long as we are talkin' 1/10 truck tires...... I have heard that some guys SHOO-GOO the vent holes in the wheels and use a X-acto knife to cut small holes in the tires to provide venting.
Does anyone know what (if any) the performance difference is??
Where is the cut made? (sidewall or tread surface)
How big and how many?
This seems strange to me since it should 'weaken' the tire and it would more easily rip when it hits a tube, scrapes the wall, spectators.
Or am I all wrong and they are just pin sized holes with the point of the knife?
Just some questions from a guy that does not know..
Thanx

Re: Pink Tapers
The hole is cut right on the tread surface. It probably doesn't weaken the tire a whole lot. But if you wash your tires, it's way eaiser to soak the foam.
