ok heres one for you foam tire gurus
can you clean your foam tires in between rounds and what to use if possible , the track i run at gets my tires real gooy , i mean when you come off the track and check your tires they are sticky can i clean them to bring them back to when i started the race or should i just keep throwing the tire compound to them or what . (12th scale ) running purples and grey rear

Wrap painters tape around them then remove, it cleans them. To get the stickyness out of them if need be you can use some lighter fluid. Only use the lighter fluid if you need it. Taping to clean them you can do every run.

tires
so if i use the lighter fluid then will i be able to run the tires the next run we dont have alot of people there so the rounds do go pretty fast

motor spray on a towel and wipe them down.

Motorspray works well or check out www.muddslidemotorsports.com they have a specific foam tire cleaner that i hear is a awsome. C3 is a heck of a guy too.

For foam tires, I spray the motor spray right on the tires (for rubber, I spray it on the rag). Then use a rag (blue scott towels work great) to slick the crap right out of the tires.
What traction compound do they use? |

ok thanks guys for info and hey has anybody tried goo gone just wondering

I guy I race with uses Gojo. He also uses it as a traction compound with decent results.
|
I use wd-40. works great.
what I do is used two set of tires. after a round I spray them with wd-40 wipe them off and change them over to the other set. and let them rest for a round. Hope this helps. |
Motor spray gets the tires drier than lighter fluid. I really would not use anything but those two. The tape works to get the surface junk off, but it does not get everything out of the tire. I would use it after cleaning with motorspray.
