How to make PVC tires?

[geofroley]

Can anyone tell me how to make them? I searched but found nothing.

Thats what 1/10scale drivers do - haven't seen it on any 1/24 or below -only tape

find PVC piping thats small enough.
Ikinari has PVC tires.

how would you mount them though? ive seen the 10 scale guys with some rubber lining stuff.. im not crazy about ruining a good set of wheels

me and a friend did this and were semi-successful. what we did was use thin strips of electrical tape to build up the diameter a little on the rim, then put the pvc over it. our mistake was we used a pair of those rachet cutters to cut the pipe, these were not worth a ****. you need to make them real small so ours came out ****ty and wavy. id recommend using a hacksaw or something to that effect. also i had some clearence issues because the pipe is bigger than the origanl tires, i normaly run without the body anyway though. once we did get it working our cars would drift crazy all day long even on concrete...

edit:
as far as the size its 1inch

edit edit:
that clear scotch tape works wonders too for drifitng and only takes about 30 seconds to do

quick pic:



note the crappy cutting job, use a saw instead.
the middle one shows how they were mounted, just a few wraps of eletrical tape and youre good to go.
