Fix those old foam tires

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

I just quickly did this to my foams, and did a little burnout on a piece of sponge. Omg they’re soft, n sticky. Thanks!! Subscribed

Not a problem Wd- 40 Natha or sunscreen 35 spf

[@IntegraDIY]

I bought a Serpent Taipan back in 2020, just pulled it out of storage and the tires are hard as a rock. Gonna try this, thanks 🙏

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

Great tip. I’ve been having traction issues with my speed run tt02, and I’ve got shore 35 foams. They seem too hard and not grippy enough. Definitely gonna try this tonight and see how it does tomorrow

Love your channel bud thank you for sharing I always learn

[@jessnjio]

Good stuff ma brotha..

[@stevenlocke5445]

Great idea tried it works good just a guestion can you store them like that for 6months

[@flopackrc5452]

Yes I use wd40 for long storage

[@RCOverKill]

With wd 40 the petroleum distillates start to break rubber down, I'm assuming foam as well. I think the spf 50 may be doing the same thing to a much lesser extent. Either way great tip!

[@flopackrc5452]

Never had a problem . Tires on last 2-3 passes at this level

[@RCOverKill]

@@flopackrc5452 I was agreeing with you. I was just saying why I think it works.

[@flopackrc5452]

The I gotcha boss i learned these tricks from oldschool guys like Tim Smith and Mike smith .good looking out

[@1701dog1701dog]

I just did this I can't believe it actually works my car is on rails

[@speedfreak1161]

Looks good 💪😁🇦🇺

[@scouttroopergaming]

What if my tires have stickers?

[@rcbustanut2057]

Awesome tip! 👍 Curious, what's your preferred foam tire & compound for high speed runs? Last foams I used were Contact GT8. Tried 25 shore & 35 shore. The 25's had amazing grip but I shred the crap out of them. The 35's are still intact so far but the traction is 'ok'. Thanks 😎👍

[@flopackrc5452]

Bsr purple or xxp is the only thing I'll run now

[@rcbustanut2057]

@@flopackrc5452 awesome, thanks for quick reply 👍 I was just checking those out, was debating between the purple & the xx pinks.

[@rcaddictz1171]

Got two sets of sweep matrix foams and people giving me shit about it in forums saying there junk. Smh. But I like them though. Runs good.

[@flopackrc5452]

Sweeps and matrix are 2 separate brands .1 guy ran them with problems but I ran 159 and 147 mph no problems there good I think ..well see next weekend..keep up the sick paint jobs

[@ianmihalic726]

A little late in the comments but I find matrix to be the best tires for dragracing

[@MrAveboi6]

Trying to get some packs need em ASAP

[@bretzeletouffeur7401]

Hello :-) Any idea of what foam these tires are made for ? I would like to buy big foam sheets and make my own ones.

[@flopackrc5452]

I order from gone banana I have no clue where to get foam from boss sorry I couldnt help

[@bayuajiwisepacific1076]

Eva foam, the problem is, we can't get custom hardness, unless you mold them by yourself

[@bretzeletouffeur7401]

@@bayuajiwisepacific1076 Thank you ! I tested with EVA using improvised trueing machine and it works but small grip, then I placed motorcycle chain wax on it and the tires are glued to the road literally ... for 5 minutes :-) I bought a commercial foam tire and the foam texture seems different than EVA on surface, maybe semi open cells or plastazote ?

[@godsun358]

Good lookin
