Skaldiddog's "Progress"

Nice work Joel. I really need to get a set of these tires and cut them up for myself since I really didn't want to mess with them in stock form.

Joel, press is pretty darn awesome. Are u gluing the side edge to side edge and then the outers or just the outers?

With the aka we spoke about you can glue edge to edge and have an incredibly strong bond and no glue residue on the outside. Very jealous of the cutter!

U should make a 1.9 flavor

Glad you found something new to tinker with Joel. I know how antsy you get when you have no screws to turn or parts to cut. If you get REALLY bored...Im willing to bet you'd have a STACK-O-DOOS on yer front porch by morning...mine included :mrgreen:

You are truly the RC mad scientist & a talented one at that. Nice work Dago!

Bravo, you did a hell of a clean job on that tire. "thumbsup"

Cheers Rowdy.

I'm not sure what you are asking regarding the edge to edge part. One more time please. I'm sure the residue will wear off in short order. 1.9 would be cool. I'll put it on the to do list. Not for me though.

Thanks JD. Funny enough the cutting takes only about 20-25 min per tire...the glueing is slow though. This is only my first attempt. I figured out some things to make it faster and better. Once I understand William's point I'll be even better off.

Nothing to say that others have'nt already, but top work. Very clean. What did you use to cut so clean with?. It looks like a very consistant cut.

Nice work Joel! Make sure you run a thick bead of glue on the inside of the seam (inside the tire). That will help keep them from pulling apart...

Build a bunch of jigs. Get a blue star. Sell them. It won't be long before you'd be in the big leagues living in that 3 bedroom deluxe apartment in the sky. Movin on up to the top. (Jeffersons theme):ror:

Thanks man!

Razor blade. Use one corner for one half of a cut circumference, the other corner for the second half of the cut. Toss the blade. Each tire takes 4 blades total (4 circumferential cuts).

Thanks Mr. Scissors"thumbsup". I've put a small bead in there but will make sure all is glued well before mounting them up.

Darn internet jiberish making things unclear :mrgreen: My ghetto picture should make sense.

I assume above is what you are doing and the picture with the tip on the size was just some rc porn. Just curious "thumbsup" Are you simply tightening down the allen head or is it more of a shear think and needing force applied?


Now that you figured out how to cut the tire, now I want to see you work your magic and make one that cuts them off a glued CF wheel haha.

I call that a "butt joint"...probably wrong, but that's what I call it. Either way, those alone don't hold up too well when making tires.

I know everyone has there own method and glue used. I personally use AKA Tire glue, its the best stuff I can find. I've cut and shut many many sets and never had an issue. I do sometimes add some to the inside of the tire joint, but only when the two tires jointing edges are highly different.

Sounds like we need to move the jig talking to the tire section lol. Sorry to fill your thread Joel.

Damn Joel!! Very nice work..makes me want to try a set.
