Superior foams
Being a generous person i decided to share with you guys a brilliant idea that i just came up with.
Things u need: 1/10 foam tire(or similar good grade stuff, choose your shore) Xacto double side tipe or glue sandpaper Recommend: battery drill or something similar(you will find out why) How to do it. 1)Get your foam tire,used may be better. a)you need one that has very little material left but no missing chunks or b)new one 2)either way, you have to sand away the excess material to the desired height. (all the better if u have a tire truer) 3)measure the width of your xmods wheel. 4)use tape(any) to mark out the width on the foam tire, measuring from the outer edge to somewhere near the centre.(the width of the xmods wheel). Go one round around it. 4)cut along the tape(it's a guide you see?) 5)Now, cut a slit perpendicular to the tape (see below if u dont understand tape --------------------- I I <-slit 6) then remove the whole strip of foam from the wheel by using the xacto knife.(might come off easily, might not) 7) Then mount them on your xmods wheels. go one round and cut off the excess where they meet again. 8) Gently sand to perfect it 9)point to note, you might want to use the outer edge of the foam tire as the outer edge on your xmods wheel. they are a more rounded edge. or you can sand and round them manually. 10) Did i say use glue to mount them? double side tape might work thou. If it works, don't forget to give me credit If it doesn't, I didn't say all those BS did i?:btc: |
i forgot to say that if you got a 1/10 scale car or simlar, you can use a bit on the drill that tightens/loosens wheelnuts.
then you can just rotate the wheel with the drill and sand it with the other hand:D |
any comments?
|
i kinda get it and then i dont, could you do some pics? that would help people out
|
In simpler terms it's just use 1/10 Foam tires and cut it and paste on the xmods rims.
|
oic, cool idea
|
The usage of Mini Z foams are better.
Just dremael the ridge off then you have a HUGE array of brands, and degrees to use. |
But i think that 1/10 scale foams are much much grippier
