I'd like to myself, but I can't spend the $$ on them at the moment to test for a non-class...(I have too many other r/c needs...like some new VTA tires) But, I do hope they work so classes can be built around them in the really near future.
TESTERS - please post info as soon as possible!
Other things I'd like to know...
Best Mounting Methods (ie: cleaning, drying, etc.), adhesive or glue to use.
any other tips/tricks to mount them true.
Thanks!!!
We have been mounting them just like off road tires. Cleaning with motor spray, and using medium CA glue. The rims have ribs on them, so once you get the tire on there, it just fits correctly. Because the tires are belted, they do not undergo as much stress as lets say an 1/8th buggy tire (the pizza cutter effect where the tire gets all stretched out under acceleration). So in all reality, the glue job does not need to be as perfect as it would on an 1/8th buggy tire.
There is a good video on TQ racing's website (the are a hobby store in Chino CA) on mounting F1 tires. Take a gander at that, it might help.
