'VIPAZ' SOLID RUBBER TYRES 2.0 are finally here! A MUST-HAVE upgrade for your Infraction 6s

UPDATED VIDEO ON MOUNTING YOUR VIPAZ HERE: • The ULTIMATE guide to ...
Introducing the worlds first WestOz RC - VIPAZ custom solid rubber tyres for the ARRMA Infraction and Limitless.
See latest test run video after 18 packs here: • "TYRE EXPLOSION" 💥💥 In...
The new VIPAZ custom solid tyres have finally arrived guys and in this video, I'll show you how to prep and bond them to a new set of Pro-Line Mach 10 rims. They look absolutely awesome on the truck.
It is HIGHLY recommended to use the Pro-Line Mach 10 rims because they have an excellent surface for the tyres to bond to. If you wish to use another type of 83mm set of rims, be sure they are flat from edge to edge, because the Hoons have a step on the outer edge of the rim.
They can be bonded to the original Hoons rims if preferred, but you must be sure to clean off the old rubber but leave that small amount of original rubber on the outer edge step to keep an even flat surface across the rim for ease of bonding. Use a small grinder or sanding disc to grind the original rubber flat.
Use a high quantity super glue. I recommend Loctite 424 as it has excellent strength at high temps or the standard Loctite superglue also works extremely well.
The Mach 10 only need to have the 2 inner and outer ribs removed for easy installation.
This video also includes 4 highlighted test runs in a row. I chose this truck stop site because it has the roughest bitumen I've ever seen and is a great testing ground for the new tyres, so sit back and enjoy the show.
These tyres are a bit of work to bond, but so well worth it in the end, you won't look back.

Great vid mate, these should sell like hot cakes, nice work

[@WestOzRC]

Thanks mate. Hope so, not making any profit on them 😬.

[@KC_2112]

Great idea but $125+ for 4 pieces of rubber without the wheels is a little on the steep side. I understand they last several packs but it’s to much. If they came pre-mounted on wheels I would say good deal and worth it for sure. Great job though definitely.

[@WestOzRC]

Thanks bro appreciate the comment. I had to get a mold made for them and only had 13 sets made to see how they sell and I’m selling them with no profit at all. If I can get them made cheaper down the track I will certainly be passing on the saving. Also, you are meant to use your used Hoons rims so no rims are needed. I just wanted to show how they fit on the Mach 10 rims. Thanks again bud. 😎👊🏼👍🏼🤙🏼

[@charliemaybe]

@@WestOzRC how many packs can you get out of like a white hoon vs your tires becasue a full set of hoons for me is around 70 dollars mounted on rims, how long does your tires last and what is the grip comparable to the hoon tires. I live in a bit of a colder climate than australia, so im wondering what these solid rubber tires can handle when running in something as cold as -5 c to around 5 c. I wouldnt want to spend that kind of cash then find out that it feels like im driving on ice becasue the rubber is super hard. So, are these solid tires more of a drift and burnout tire, or an all around tire like the hoons are

[@WestOzRC]

@@charliemaybe hey bro. Well I use to get around 3-4 packs with white Hoons but the VIPAZ are a harder compound (around 70 duro, Hoons are around 60 duro) and they do drift easier due to this. Because all 4 tyres are the same the truck reacts pretty much the same. I have sold quite a few sets to people in Sweden, Norway and Finland and they love them and they are repeat buyers too. I have gotten 18 packs on the test sets but I ran them as hard as I could. I’ve had some customers get 30 packs. I have priced them as best as I could and I’ve been told they are worth their weight in gold with the money people have saved. The only way you will know is to try a set. They cost around the same as a set of Hoons. Be sure to glue them as instructed and you will love them. Cheers bro and thanks for your time to comment and interest. 😎👊🏼

[@charliemaybe]

@@WestOzRC ive done some math, and the price definatly isnt actually that bad, i can get a set of hoons for around 70ish usd while your tires I can get for around 80-90 usd, so if they last that long and I can absolutely rip on them, that isnt that bad.

[@linzitazim]

Good job. The sliding way , you could do exactly what you're doing but push the tyre offthe other side about 20/30mm and glue inside tyre again, then slide it back into position. Might help stick both sides. If the glue doesn't set too quick you could actually apply more to both sides. They look like they're holding up great.

[@WestOzRC]

I’ve thought of that way too but they dry super fast. I really like the cut way as the glue really holds them down. The slide does work, you just have to touch up glue around the edges. 😎👍🏼

[@kansascityrc]

Those seem way more durable than hoons. The main reason I haven't gotten one of these awesome trucks is because of how much they go through tires. Might just have to get me one now! Great video man 😎🤙

[@WestOzRC]

Hey brother thanks so much for your comment. They are performing very well and even after the 4 packs I put her thru they only wore down 1mm. I’m going to put another 4 packs thru her tomorrow and see how much is left again. Even after 4 packs on the surface I ran it on, I would have already been changing them because I have already done so in the past. I think it’s time for you to spoil yourself on one of these majestic beasts with these tyres and enjoy some insane drift moments. Cheers brother. 😎👊🏼👍🏼🤙🏼👌🏼

[@ericsimmons3609]

Here's my thing once u glue then and they wear down ur buying wheels and tires again that can get costly too

[@kmcampbell78]

I feel like your estimate of 4-5 times more runs than hoons is very conservative. I get 2 packs max out of hoons. With the minimal wear you have after 4 packs, and if you rotate them every couple of packs. They should far exceed your estimate. These tires may seem expensive, but are actually relatively cheap compared to the big pile of worn out hoons I have.

[@WestOzRC]

Well said brother and I really appreciate your comment. I’m actually going to rotate them every 4 packs and see how much more I get. I underestimate deliberately because the last thing I wanted was people calling me out if I said they’ll last 25 packs and they only get 20 lol. I honestly think they are priced accordingly to their wear worth but I am working hard to see if I can get them made cheaper for us all. 😎👊🏼👍🏼👌🏼🤙🏼

[@MrSpeeder420]

Will b grabbing a set next week! Id really like to see a 53/107 set. Will b testing well over 60mph. Going to try a syringe for refilling ink cartridges to get the glue in between the rubber and wheel while the tire is in place. So no cutting is required, netting a tire that should be capable of 100+mph.

[@WestOzRC]

Cool man. The mold of these already cost me a bit so the 53/107 will have to wait until I see how these sell then I will look into it. You can get super glue with a long pin type tubing at the end of the bottle that would probably work well. You could even try sliding them on then peel back the edges and squeeze the glue inside. As for the ones I have, they are holding really well. Gonna go do another run next weekend. 😎👊🏼👍🏼

Fantastic video! The investment of wheels and tires is the one thing that has deterred me from getting an infraction. Your solution might have me buying one soon! Once they wear down to a certain point will you strip the tires and re use the wheels?

[@WestOzRC]

Thanks for that comment brother it’s really appreciated. You would not be disappointed if you buy one especially with these tyres. Yes 100% I will wear these down to almost the rims then grind off the remaining rubber and glue another set on, or at $40-$50 a set of Mach 10 or any other 83mm rim I might just buy those and start from scratch. Either method will work.

[@orangemound135]

Do they come preglued or do we have to glue them ourselves... But awesome demo of the tires 👏 👌 😀

[@WestOzRC]

Thanks brother. Yeh you use your original Hoons rims and glue these onto them once you’ve prepped them. Or you can buy the Mach 10 rims and do as I did. They look awesome.

[@cbelements8348]

So tire glue or super glue? I have been saving my hoons to use them. Hopefully I can just slide them over the hoons?

[@WestOzRC]

I used super glue which I’m sure is what they use in tyre glue. Yep either apply the glue to the rim first then slide the rim down then touch up glue if around the edges or cut the tyre on an angle and apply the glue to the rim 2” at a time, lay rim flat and work the rubber around until they meet and glue them together again. Either method works well. For the Hoons, you have to leave that tiny bit of rubber step down on the outside of the rim they have so you can glue the e edge down. That’s why I like the Mach 10 rims because they a even flat across the surface. 😎👊🏼👌🏼💪🏼

[@orangemound135]

Just checked out the link...I don't like gluing...can you get them with rims glued??

[@WestOzRC]

It’s pretty easy to do bud. You use your old Hoons rims or buy any type of 83mm rims.

[@TheJs12347777]

perhaps drill a series of small holes around the inside of rim and somehow inject glue underneath the tyre to glue

[@WestOzRC]

Thanks for your idea bro and I also thought of that too. By drilling holes in the rim you loose the integrity of the rim and weaken it because while the heavier tyre spins, it wants to tear off the rim so removing surface area for it to bond to is not a good idea. I’ve put a lot of thought into these and also the manufacturer. I’ll have a new video out this weekend on another 4 packs thru the truck. 😎👊🏼👍🏼💪🏼👌🏼

Maybe put the wheels in the freezer and add glue to the tires and warm them a little. Should work without cuting

[@WestOzRC]

Hmmm interesting concept bro I could give that a go for sure. Thing is tho if the tyres are warm the glue will dry super fast. That’s why they glue so quickly when they are hot from running. You only have to wait like 2min and you can rip again. Another way is to slide them onto the rim without the glue then place a screwdriver between the rim and tyre to space them apart then squeeze the glue down the rim or tyre then move around the rim like that.
