So what are the secrets that you mention. I thought you were going to tell people what was needed to make traction compound fluid.

@rccartips 7 месяцев назад

Wiping your tire with any type of oil (e.g. WD40, motor oil, baby oil) will increase grip. For the last 10% enhancement of grip and flow is where special chemicals and % formulations come in, a costly R&D.

Great video. I love your F1 videos, can you please make a video on F1 tips and F1 setup. I'm new to F1 and could do with advice from a pro like yourself. Thanks RCcartips!

@rccartips 2 года назад

Good timing. We actually had an F1 race yesterday for the first time in years. Maybe in the future I'll make a video. What I can say is F1 is 90% tires and traction compound. Not a pro, just love the hobby :) But here is me in 2011, almost Asia champion, starting 2nd on the grid. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-06GcWvBtegQ.html

Once again, great video!! Thank you for the info. I have a couple of questions I hope you will have time to reply. 1. What is your opinion about using a brand new tires on a race. I am new to the hobby, I’ve been hearing racers here in California saying that when it’s brand new, it wont perform very well. They said I need to use it for a while and it has to wear out a little bit to get to it’s perfect condition. 2. What are your thoughts about using tire warmer? Is it really necessary?

@rccartips Год назад

1. Depends on tire and level of racing. For club race we can still win with 50 run tires. I think you might be referring to your USGT tires which are hard and require usage to make it softer for more grip. 2. I rarely use tire warmer, actually never :D

@alfredomendozajr.5124 Год назад

@@rccartips thank you. I use rush 36j for my touring car. I haven’t used USGT yet. All my tires are slick. I love your videos and all of them are very helpful

Hey man, thanks for the content, I’m enjoying your channel. Do you have to glue your tyres often? I find my tires coming away from the rim… thanks

@rccartips 2 года назад

I re-glue my tires after a day of use.

Any tyre additives that smell like wintergreen are banned in the UK ??

@human890209yang 2 года назад

I know oil can make rubber softer, but oil has lubrication effect, too. Do you need to clean the compound on the tire surface before racing?

@rccartips 2 года назад

Wipe off excess with a rag before racing. :)

@westonwilkerson5942 Год назад

what oil?!?!?

@HL-OOI 6 месяцев назад

Is it necessary to use tire warmer..?

@rccartips 6 месяцев назад

Depends. I tried but in the end stopped using them. Just too much hassle. Some use it to bake in the traction compound. For me since my traction compound is harmless, I apply it overnight to soak in.

@grantoverend1 2 года назад

interesting video, are you willing to share you secret compound? or at least sell it?

@rccartips 2 года назад

I am selling it but limited to the Philippines. A lot of racers are using it with good success. Unfortunately I cannot share the ingredients. facebook.com/groups/goldtc

@Cyco-Dude 2 года назад

there's nothing wrong with going into business and competing with existing companies if the product you offer is better or less expensive.

@rccartips 2 года назад

Important for me it is safer with no harmful chemicals. Fortunately it is also the fastest in our area, maybe half the on-road racers have bought and tried it. Selling it at half the price of what they use lowers cost of the hobby. Winner and podiums usually run my traction compound :)

Hi, any compound suggestion for on-road Foam tires?

@rccartips 2 года назад

We used to run paragon and suntan lotion on foam tires. Right now not to familiar with foams as we mostly run rubber.

@human890209yang 2 года назад

@@rccartips Do you use both paragon and suntan lotion which mixed together? Does suntan lotion act as a diluter to limit the traction?
