I'm not sure what the tire pressure is...probably near the maximum pressure...60psi. I'll take a shot at a lower air pressure in the tire and see how much effect it has. Probably like a under inflated basketball...

Just started working on revamping the main body again. I need to clean up the bottom so that there are no air gaps on the bottom. I'm also looking at encapsulating the tire in a shell and see how that will turn out. This will probably use up the remaining Coroplast signs I have left. I might have to start looking at Luan sheets...
