Re: Gum Rubber
yup we got gum rubber......one thing we thought about last season was how to attach the gum rubber to our wheels....well instead we bought thick sheets of gum rubber and cut a full size tire out. Then we used a split ring type wheel made from aluminum to capture the gum rubber. The design is kinda tough to explain here, but if you have more questions and AutoCAD feel free to PM me I have detailed drawings of how we made our wheels.
The reason we didn't just used gum rubber with adhesive or thin gum rubber wrapped around a rim and screwed to the rim was to handle the torque our machine put out last year.
