Foam tyres with a coating of silicon sealant.

oh really?
i gave rubber a shot one day, 0 grip, wondering what the hell people would use to race on floorboards with

i'd heard that in europe they use rubber tyres with little nobblys on them for grip on floorboards.

one of the guys who was up at wondonga said they run indoors on floorboards in shepp (or maybe wangaratta it coulda been)

i wouldnt mind going up there some time to race if they do, something a bit different.

it's only a few hours drive

you've only gotta be a passenger anyway

i'll ask dad if he can get his hands on a transitvan minibus from work, or a 4 seater ute for the night

Talking

wangaratta run a meeting , on a wednesday or tuesday?
on a basket ball court. Starts at 7pm or something.
Tamiya rally tyres in a soft compound are the go if you want grip.
Better though is a few running on take offs, no grip D-STYLE!!!!
Last time I went 4 of us were running slicks ,8 and 9 turn motors.
It was mad.

If you want to race with grip don't bother driving of 2 1/2 hours.

I s**t you not, try silicon sealant on the surface of a set of tyres, used to do it on off road tyres. Massive drift if you plant it but you can get around pretty good if you drive carefully.

Exclamation silicon sealant

is it for foam tires or can you use it successfully on rubber tires too.
silicon sealant is that its product name, brand name?

any silicon would work, weather it is gasket or otherwise. i would guess gasket sealant would work best as it dries a bit quicker.

it would stick to rubbers but effectively work better with foam as it would seap and stick into the pours of the foam.

SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT IDEA FOR BASHERS WHO WANT TO GET THE MOST OUT OF THOSE 55MM diameter foams! i'm gonna give it a go.

maybe a good idea for the miniz's out there
