New Tire Idea

ugh · #1 05-04-2003, 09:56 PM

I was just messing arond with some sticky tack and I got an idea. i could make custom tires with sticky tack. I tried it, and the grip is awesome, I just need to smooth out the tack because it is quite bumpy. What do you think?

needs a lil work to make it nice looking but overall, good idea! wut brand sticky tack did you use? does it come off? wut exactly is that stuff and is it sticky enough to grab dust easily?

Ugh, at the bottom of your posts you say that you are stupid and that you don't know anything about ZipZaps. From what you are posting these days, I don't think that's true at all!!

hey, thats a pretty cool idea, i tried making a tire out of superglue once, it didn't turn out so well

keep up the good work! also, what colors can you get that in? blue by any chance?

I have thought about this too. Sticky tack is an okay idea the only problem is that it won't hold shape...but what about making tires out of those things that you threw against the wall and they crawled down(that rubbery sticky stuff). Because those hold shape and if you wash them off they get sticky again.

if i remember correctly, those things are WAY too soft. plus the cars pick up enough dust and hair on their own

Remember those creepy crawlers?? Kind of an Easy Bake oven for boys?? you poured in some goo heated it up and made bugs. what about making tire molds out of that goo?

here is where you can see what the heck I'm talking about.

I tried that but the tires had to much grip and the car wouldnt move. So i dont think that would work. What about regualr tires with electirc tape over them that would be super slick for like drag racing.

i have an idea, i havent tried it yet, im going to try it tonight. im going to mix sugar and water and let some tires sit in the mix for a little bit. take them out, let them dry off. sugar is stickey and when you spill something like sugar water all over the floor it gets all stickey. i bet that would inprove grip.

where can you buy stick tack

slugbugg · #15 05-19-2003, 04:51 PM

That might work flatlander and if it doesnt you can eat them.
Run three races then snack on them.

What might be fun also is if you have some ants around (they seem to love sugar) get a bunch of them to chase after your car and when they catch it it would look like a pit crew working on a wheel change.

Sticky tires are needed and I still want to try some of that rubber tubing that they use on wrist-rockets/slingshots or any silicone fuel type hose.
