Do you know what kind of rubber (or plastic) they are? Last edited by Tristan Lall : 24-09-2006 at 17:41. |

Re: pic: how can i soften rubber
You will need to find out what kind of rubber that is and search for some type of reconditioner.
I know that there is a product out there called "303 aerospace protectant". I use it on the rubber seals on my car, it makes them more flexible. Im not sure if it will work for you application though. |

I've heard of Simple Green being used to soften RC Car tires. I don't know if the same would apply for this.

Re: pic: how can i soften rubber
I recall WD-40 being a recommended item for softening tire tread in my R/C truck days (at the expense of tread wear, lest you think there was a freebie there).

Burris Quicktime #2 - sold here at Comet Kart Sales is a spray used in go-kart racing to soften tires and achieve improved traction. For $7, it's worth a try.
From what I've read, this sort of softener is deemed illegal in some go-karting competitions, so it must work. Andy B. |
