Thanks James.

[@jmcleave]

Thanks for watching 👍🏻

[@kevinmcmanis7335]

Great video as usual! Are you going to do a video showing how "you" cut them down on a tire truer? That would be great! Thank you again for all your slot car tech videos!

[@CleaveTech]

Hi Kevin. Thanks for watching. The end screen says what is coming next 😉. I think you will approve 👍🏻

[@elsdp-4560]

Thank you for sharing. You make it look too easy.

@@CleaveTech do you make the doughnuts? How do cut a hole in a circle in the foam? How do you make the doughnuts. Especially with smaller scales ???

[@CleaveTech]

@@anthonysomics9073 I don't make the tyre donuts. They can be purchased from many slot car racing suppliers such as Won'O'Won Slot Racing - www.won-o-won.co.uk/

[@kurtvandelden6724]

Where do you get the tire rubber ? What kinds of foam rubber is it ? Can you get sheets from a supplier and cut your own donuts ?

Very similar to my process but I apply the glue to the inside of the donut by using a flat wooden coffee stirrer with glue on one side of the stirrer. I then roll the tyre on a flat surface using the sticky stirrer as an "axle". The result is an even film of glue on the inner diameter of the donut.

[@CleaveTech]

I will try that. Thank you for your suggestion 👍🏻

Hello Friend I would like to thank you for your videos, they are excellent and I learn a lot from them. I would like your help in knowing the composition or material that tires are made for flat and blue king tracks. I want to manufacture my own tires. Thanks

[@CleaveTech]

Hello and thanks for watching and commenting. Great question. I think everyone would love to make their own tyres for racing. Unfortunately they are not an exact science and batches of the rubber vary so much. If I knew how to make them, I would certainly be doing so myself 😁.

[@CleaveTech]

If you find out how to make really grippy tyres please let me in on the secret 🤫

Thank you also for subscribing. 🙏

I've read in some places that use neoprene shore 12 to 30 but I don't know where to buy it either

[@CleaveTech]

@@ThiagoStefani , interesting. Got to be worth investigating 👍🏻

[@yamahav4twostrokesrdrzrzv524]

Could you follow this up with a video on how and when to use the varying rim sizes available please

[@CleaveTech]

Thank you for watching and commenting. That is now on the list 👍🏻

[@CleaveTech]

For future reference, the video about Rim Sizes is available here Size is important but not the only thing! - Which wheel hub should I use on my slot car? kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnS6fpd9jrmMbs0

Where do I need to look for the foam part of the tire

How do i get to see all them.starting at one

[@CleaveTech]

To see all of my videos, head on over to my channel here: kzbin.info You can then select the “videos” tab and see all my videos in order. 😁

[@Djalexandrelara]

Can you tell me what material this tire is made of? would it be a rubber, foam, neoprene?

[@CleaveTech]

They are a type of packaging foam.

[@Djalexandrelara]

@@CleaveTech hi, thks for informarion.. congratulations for the channel... very good

[@Djalexandrelara]

@@CleaveTech is there, somewhere any info about this specific type of foam?

[@CleaveTech]

@@Djalexandrelara unfortunately there is not a lot of information about this type of foam because the tyre suppliers like to keep the information private for obvious reasons. The “donuts” can be purchased from many high end slot car distributors.

Clearly an opportunity exists for someone to make Doughnut Boring tools for sale!
