Finally!!! A great video about the process
Excellent video.south africa
Great video. Love to see more like this with body casts, etc.
Cool stuff!
Thanks a lot. I do have another video up where I did a body casting.
Awesome....subscribed a year ago. Love your tech how to videos like these. You help me alot. Tires are very expense for tyco tcr cars when you can find them. I love racing the tyco tcr cars in our club. Thank you again im in north carolina or I would love to race with you im 58 years old but connect with you like my buddies in my club. We ho drag race and have a huge afx track as well.
Absolutely terrific video my friend great information on making silicone tires
Thanks a lot!!
Awesome video
Good job brother. Excellent how to video🥃
This is another excellent video! Thank you!
Thanks for watching!!
Great information thx for your time knowledge 😊😊
Thanks a lot!!
I love DIY tutorials! I get overwhelmed looking at tire charts, so this may be the way to go for me. Quick question, do you need to wash the mold release off the tires? Thank you for teaching us!
I never wash off the mold release off but also have a habit of wiping my tires off with a little alcohol every time before I put a car on the track.
Excellent tutorial. Thanks for the video.
No problem. Thanks for watching.
Nice video, thanks for sharing 👍

Thanks a lot.
Wow yo you r a God send... that shit was awesome. UDA man bro thank you
This is very cool! Have you ever tried making Silicone tires for your 1/32 and 1/24 scale cars?
Yes I have made some for Scalextrics.
Pretty good video you have to bring some tires down to pop's and let me try some on my t jet's
Awesome video, TY for sharing. May I ask where did you purchase your supplies for this project, also looking to add the black tint. TY in advance
THx for the info..!1 This has definitely peaked my interest..by the way about how tires ( 1/32 size) do you think you can get out of 14 oz..?
have you tried this with RC cars?
Where is the club racing you do I would like to get in to racing
We are located around the Lehigh Valley PA.
I live in Quakertown

What do you suggest for level 2 tires the stronger magnets and would it be better if you used stiffer compound for the mold
The stiffer the mold that harder it is to de mold the tires but yeah harder tires are good for stronger magnets because the force pulling down makes the softer silicone go out of round. The softer will also roll over easier.
would this be good for 1/32 cars as well?
Yes I have used this same method to make tires for both Carrera and scalextrix cars.
Is there much difference between smooth-on 31 and the 30 ..?
31 has a 5 minute pot life and 23 minute cure time. 30 has a 45 minute pot life and 6 hr cure time. They are both a 30 shore silicone.
what makes these custom silicones better than others? Or just mostly a DIY video ? either way thanks for vid
More of a DIY. Typically if I can do something myself I will but I also like that you can control the hardness. If I use 30 shore I know my tires are 30. If I buy tires from someone the hardness is probably unknown. Tires are also roughly 2$ a pair so for the price of this material I could get about 10 pairs of tires versus being able to make probably over a thousand tires for the same price.
@@TheSlotSpoti might try this myself since my son and his buddies are getting into the hobby. we just built a 4 lane lifelike track. Softer tires would def help on raceday
Just my opinion but I’m hoping it will help stop a couple of my cars from spinning out going around turns even when trying not to.
So you use the same product to make the mold as you do for the tires you just use the release spray to prevent them from sticking when making tires hope that makes sense what I’m saying
Yeah correct because nothing sticks to silicone like silicone. You would only use a different product if you wanted softer or harder tires. You can also make the mold out of softer or harder silicone.
@@TheSlotSpot I've made urethane tires, where I made the mold out of silicone, and the extraction process is easy with no release agent needed. I would think reversing the process should work. Meaning a urethane mold and use the silicone to make the tire. Have you ever tried that? Just curios - I'm about to start making tires and was going to experiment with urethane mold.
@@victorborme9400 I would still use a release agent. Not much stocks to silicone so the urethane tires will pop right out but silicone also works as an adhesive so it might stick to the urethane Baby powder also works good as a release.
Awesome video. Maybe I missed it, but do you apply mold release to the original tires?
I did not because my originals were rubber. If you are using silicone tires as a model then you would need to apply mold release.
