HOW TO VID.
Hi to everyone..
Just posting a "how-to" on application of sticky kicks. This is for when you are at the track. Its an easy one and its to answer any and all questions but if you do have any after this, please feel free to find me at the track or PM me on here.
This applies to when I either get to the track or right after a qual./race:
1.) For starters, I wash my tires and dry them with either a cloth or air dry them if the track has compressed air.
2.) After checking the glue and making sure the tires don't need any touch up, I give the tires a light spray of (insert whatever compound you are using be it red, white or green) and set them aside on a clean surface. I normally stack them on each other.
3.) After about 10 mins, I roll each tire against another tire that has been applied with the compound to see how the sticky kicks is adhering and may or may not add from there.
4.) Lastly, the race right before mine, I re-apply a light coat and start to put my car together, ie batteries, shell, etc and that gives the tires enough time to dry.
I have have found that if I apply Sticky Kicks too late prior to my race, I do not get all the benefits.
Applying to new tires:
1.) Remove tires from bags and remove inserts from tires and set aside. (Keep the bags!)
2.) Poke holes in tires, 180 from each other.
3.) Apply Sticky Kicks to tires using a toothbrush or other brush. This is VERY important as you need to make sure the compound gets deep into the tire for maximum effect. You may need to do this a few times depending on the tire and tread pattern.
4.) Put tires without foams in the bags they came in and lightly mist the tires while in the bag.
5.) Wait overnight (if your race is the next day) or 24 hours before mounting to rims.
6.) Spray some simple green on a rag and wipe down the bead of the tire to get Sticky kicks and release agent off the beads for a clean install.
7.) Wipe down rims and mount tires to rims
8.) Install foams into tires
9. Mount tires on rims and apply glue. (Use tire band if available)
Thats it! Enjoy and see you out there!

I did not run. Local Sticky Kicks driver Cedric (Seeds on Rctech) did awesome! He never ran at Compeition Hobbies before but manged to run in the Pro 4 4x4 SCT in the Amain starting dead last with a front broken A arm and finished somewhere 5th or 6th out of 10 I believe. We left El Mirage around 6:30am and got to Tuscon little after 8am. With little practice time and tuning he did great keep in mind he runs a Durango 4x4 SCT and parts are hard to come by let alone buy.

The bible of tech tips for Sticky Kicks. Print this out for your own use.
1 Do not apply before a race! Your car will skate like if it was on ice. Please apply 10-15 minutes before a run.
2 Best used when buying new tires to apply with a brush and let soak 24 hours before glueing.
3 If tires are mounted and glued and you have 1hour plus before your run, brush Sticky Kicks then apply again 10-15 minutes before your run.
4 You"ll notice Sticky Kicks working the most after you're 2run (5minute runs) Then you're like Holly "S"!
5 ALWAYS CLEAN YOUR TIRES AFTER EACH RUN. You'll notice you're tires are stickier.
6 I've got to much traction and I'm rolling over or my motor temps are too high or both. Do 2 things... Adjust your pinion gear and slightly lower your ride height. Disclaimer... One racer had to much traction and over heated his motor cause Sticky Kicks put to much load on his Electronics. So watch those temps after Sticky Kicks penetrates the tires! I did fork out $90 dollars out of my own pocket to help the racer get up and going again.
7Will not ruin foams or the smell make you puke! Smells so good
Better yet you'll not get a set of AE screw drivers lodged into your thigh cause you offended the racer to the right or left of you in the pits using something else
8 When the doctor is pulling 8 AE hexdrives from each thigh from the bone, Try some Sticky Kicks next time! Better on the podium then the hospital
Disclaimer!.... 1/2 of 7 and all of 8 are meant to be funny.

Yes it is! I stand by this product as a user for 2+ years and now as dealer. I will stand by Sticky Kicks and make you a bet!
I will buy you any set of 4 tires, Proline foams, and rims of your choice. Spray Sticky Kicks 3times a race on the tires for 6 races in a row! And those foams will be still brand new after cutting tires open.
All wheeles will be held before and after each race you use with a mutal party.
Up to it?
