Vent for better handling
![]() |
|
The vent holes drilled into most monster truck rims are too small, so they don’t allow the air to vent out fast enough when the vehicle lands from a jump or runs over obstacles. This can cause the tires to bounce excessively when going over bumps (instead of absorbing the impacts), which leads to erratic handling. Enlarging the holes slightly or drilling a few more similar size air-vent holes will help the air escape faster, and that will improve your truck’s handling. A tapered reamer works great for enlarging the vent holes in the plastic rims. |
