Tire Treatment, input needed!
 
Hey everyone, Dave from Rocket Tire Services, I am in need of your serious input. I would like to know how much treatment you think is sufficient for your RC tires (4oz, 8oz, 12oz, 16oz?)? I usually sell quarts and gallons here in the kart/car industry, but knowing that the tires are a million times smaller you don't need that much chemical at once.

Let me know what you guys think, its greatly appreciated



Thanks,
Dave

4 or 8oz with a dauber top like you find on a bingo dauber...

Indeed, 4 to 8oz. Please no spray bottle, remember that we treat the tires on the table we work and even eat at!
A dauber top is perfect, a brush fixed in the cap is ok-isch.

Are you going to put something new on the R/C market?

New to RC, yes, new to racing, No. I have been racing for 14 years, karts, legends cars, and dirt late models. Our chemicals have been proven in those areas, and I want to bring something better than what is available already for RC racers. Something that will NOT dry out the tires, and something that will give the tires bite throughout the entire run of your main, heat, or practice.

What your using may not be bothering you, but it sure is killing your tires.

Conditioners would be best for rubber, or for lower bite tracks, conditioners with bite agents, which is what my Shark Bite Medium is.


Gas, Diesel, and kerosine will all dry out the tires, as you said you just wear them out, but how long does it take you to do so? Diesel is speeding up that process, so if your using them for 3 races, you probably would be able to get a good 6-8 out of the same set if you were to use a conditioner.


The chemicals are already made, just need to get containers for them, that's why I was asking so that I could get the racers input as to what they were prefer.

I actually use the toothbrush method myself, my tires seem to like the comfort of the oral-B, how about yours? LOL

Oh, and just to let everyone know, I do have paypal setup. I know that's how 95% of people like to do transactions today, however for the other 5% that still like Money Orders, we do them as well.
