I was reading through this thread some and saw the post about cleaning tires. I come from a dirt oval kart racing background where I had to learn more about tires than I care to admit. But many peoples thought on simple green and Dawn is they are degreasers, and tires are rubber which is a petroleum (oil) based material, so using degreasers will dry them out quicker and therefore possibly lose grip and wear out sooner. Some people did use WD-40 as a conditioner to put the oils back in the tire this is alot of what gives the grippy feel. We would "roll" tires with heat and prep on the inside alot so it would soak all the way through the rubber. I probably had 10-15 different preps for different track conditions. I am very new to RC and was told by other karters who RC also the preps we used would work the same on RC tires so I will be trying them out this summer. Transmission fuid was another some people used but have to be careful it will really soften the rubber alot too.

For sauce I use Track Star black and gold. The black is stronger and I use it to break in new tires and the gold on race day. I keep my tires in the factory bags they come in and sauce em up and seal em in the bag to marinate.

Try Monkey Spunk by Trackformulas.
The monkey spunk was made specifically for gold/clay compound tires and it works better than anything else I've tried.
They also make The Formula for m3/m4/green?etc. compound tires

here's a link to their facebook

Hello All! I thought this was a great forum with a poor title as we should be talking about Sauce, Compounds, and wheels and of course inserts. So I created a better forum over here….can you all join me?

I'd love for us to talk about the new EVO style wheels!

Cheers!

If its cold, I use a ghetto tire warmer.
Heating pad inside a cooler. Stack tires on top of the heating pad.
Get'em nice and warm and DOESN'T cost $150!

Based on one of the prior posts is it adviseable to run the tires in the same location time after time or rotate them. If so, how do you rotate them?
