      Have you tried taping the foams instead of the tires? If so how well does it compare?

    Use braided (not clear, looks like string) 25 lb test. Wrap line around 1 time and then triple knot it, then super glue the knot. Don't wrap it multiple times with 1 knot, because when it breaks it's going to shit whip the string like a whip and tear your body or something more important up. Wrap it multiple times, just tie multiple strings. So if 1 breaks, the rest of the strings will be fine. Really want to get fancy, cover the string in shoe goo, then wrap and tie. It coats the already super strong line with a rubber like coating almost making it part of the tire. Wish everyone an amazing day, may you all thrash, and bash for hours without breaking anything, Amen.

    I had never heard of the duct tape trick. I may have to do that before my Turbo Aero does it’s speed run. 7800kv motor installed! Building some custom shocks and awaiting a 2S battery that fits in the stock battery compartment.

      Keep me updated on your project! Yeah I’m surprised how well the tape worked... might double it up with the fishing line too

      @@JacobusRC got bored waiting on parts, did a static run and the tire ballooned too much, touched the carpet and actually pulled the collar off the press fit axle. Just taped up the tires, reassembling the axle, and giving it a shot.

      I just saw your video of it... man that thing looks like it goes quick HOLY. I have a Grasshopper which is basically like the turbo aero that went 26mph, wondering how quick you can push it

    I also found out that the wetter cloth gets the stronger it gets.

    I was lucky because I had abut 10 equal gaps all the way across and round on each rear tyre so it stayed really even and bearly inflated, I would use thin strong metal wire next time because the fishing wire does fray quite quickly

      might have to try metal wire next time, thanks for the tip

      Or just get braided fishing line or use the black gorilla tape the 3inch one depending upon your size tire

    Yes

    Since you're using cheaper tires why not cut slits in the tread to put the fishing line?

  • @jacintogomez8755
    @jacintogomez8755 4 месяца назад

    And best of all no glue.i just tied the ends.

  • @paulsingletary5785
    @paulsingletary5785 2 года назад +1

    Considering they were tore to pieces before the actual test due to not being glued/balanced and mounted correctly 🤔 🙄

    You drill the tread and then run the line through

    What about using fiberglass tape instead of duct tape. Should be lighter and stronger.

    • @JacobusRC
      @JacobusRC  3 года назад

      Yeah I should try that out. Was also thinking of strapping tape. Could be a good test for a next video, thanks!

  • @mr.sinister1279
    @mr.sinister1279 2 года назад

    Yea now u have to balance the tire wit the duct tape as it wobbles wen u go at high speeds

    • @JacobusRC
      @JacobusRC  2 года назад +1

      True! 👍🏽 might be worth it as it is just for bashing but not speed

      there probably belted, which means there pre taped, which has its downsides
