Lightbulb fool proof tire truer

Don't know if anyone has tried this.... I was using my dremel to cut a chassis ( I'm building a tri cell dual motor drag car) and I noticed that the cutoff wheel adaptor has a screw that holds the wheel to the adapter. For the hell of it i took one of my spare bit wheels and mounted it to the dremel. I then took a light grit sanding block, and presto! tire truing made easy. Try it out and tell me what you think.

Scoring the surface of your tires to give them more grip and less slip.... Small razor cuts will give you the same result if you don't have a dremel. be careful if your using a razor. You don't want to slice the tire in two.
