Lightbulb Crap on your tires? No problem!

If you have been getting build up of dust and crap like that on your tires, there is a simple solution! Just push the car back and forth over your hand a few times....and wala! Clean tires.

I've also had success pulling it at an angle over my leg while I have jeans on. it allows the wheels to turn as they are being scrubbed.

Run it on your carpet or wipe it on your clothing.

Wiping it on your clothing, especially a dark colored shirt, leaves marks. Carpet works, but I find the way with the hand is the easiest.

with my radican, i clean the tires by running it through water because dirt and stuff gets into the treads...the same would work for bit tires, but dont loose them down the drain..itll probably slow the flow of water quite a bit haha

couldn't you just place a damp papertowel in the middle of the lyno (or pit lane of your track) and just when you realise you are getting crap on your tires you could just head for the paper towel, drive over it and tada clean tires.

Lightbulb

I just take my bit and move it back and forth over a piece of cela-tape and it picks up all the crap on the tires. I used to do this to my old slot cars.
