I have stored my TA-04 for liek 6 months sitting on a shelf. It was a racer. I have been too busy on race nites to get it out. I have Tamiya reinforces slicks type B I think, could be type A. I have recently noticed that I have a major tire flatspot problem. Like a horrible thumping sound when I roll it. I have since learned how to prevent it. I have it sitting on a car stand which I bought for it. Anyways, how can I remove the flat spots on my tire?

Yes, simply driving on the tires should help smooth out the flat spots. The flat is probably on the insert and not the tire.

Obviously storing the car off the wheels would prevent this in the future.
