Ho guys,my Tyrese are still going strong!! I haven't had much time lately to use my car due to family commitments etc... I think the best way is to buy some 'factory' foam inserts unless u can use strips of an old camping mattress made of high density foam or similar (maby a yoga mat too)!!t...

you got it!!but use 2 wire wraps,one on the outer side of the tread and one on the inner... make sure you use a softer compound tyre up to 3 inch width.. as far as the beadlocks,they don't matter unless they interfere with the fitting of the "retread"

......and the best part of all.................cos they stuffed me around for so long, i cant take action through ebay cos the time for any disputes has expired!!yay for me!!! $65 bucks outta pocket and no word from auction city!!!! may the buyer beware!!bigtime!!!:nono:

i don't see why the paddles wouldnt work,the trick is binding the tyre to the rim if its been cut.......youll have to drill through the paddles to pass the wire through....or you could cut slots in the paddles to locate the wire....either way, you should get good life outta your new tyres,myne...

refund or response!! cheers!!!...its not the fact that they lost the parts,its that they basically accused me of ripping them off,its not my fault that they don't keep track of deliveries with registered post or similar.....im thinking of going to the department of fair trading or...

ive found that hi tensile "roll pins" will work better...you have to drill out the holes in the driveshafts to fit the roll pins,they last longer than screws or allen keys....the only other mod is you have to grind out the yoke or inner hub to fit the larger diameter pins.:2guns:

thank you for that info,it narrows down my search from infinate possibilities!! cheers!! prefa1.

hate to be a wet blanket,but ive had nothing but hassles with this company,i bought some bits for my warhead and after 10 weeks, numerous emails and very little response from them....the issue is still not resolved and im out of pocket $65.00...it had been hinted by them that i cant possibly not...

tired of tyres? ive been racking my brain,trying to come up with an idea to "vulcanise" the ends of the tyre,the only thing is ,due to the high rpms of the wheels,they want to delaminate and the only thing with enough strength is the wire....if you use knobbed tyres you can tie the wire...

ummmmmmmm... ..........um yes,thats where i got the tyre from to make into a buggy tyre pmsl!!!

the tyres are still going strong,the only thing ive noticed is a couple of small bits of foam inner have been gouged out but has no real effect........ any1 else tried my idea?? sho us ur pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

after my driveshaft destroyed itself,i discovered a way of re,building it....... first of all the drive pins are made of soft steel so you can knock them out with a hammer.i found an old allen key just a bit larger than the hole (you can also use a bolt or piece of steel bar),i tapered one end...

gaffa tape is like heavy duty vinyl tape,its really strong,the wire is to stop the centrifugal forces peeling the tyre off the rim,because you have to glue a "strip of tyre" on to ur rim it has 2 meeting edges that have to be secured with more than glue!!! get my drift? cya out on the trails!!

never buy tyres again!!sho us ur pics!!! just wondrin who else has tried my idea using mtb tyres on 1/5 buggies?? can u send in pics,its interesting to see other peoples tyre styles!!myne are still going strong with no sign of failure!!im happier than a pig in @#%#!!just wish other parts would...

silicone can withstand great heat,it is used on industrial and commercial machinery....you shouldnt have too much trouble....

they look sweet!!well worth the time,you wont ever have to buy buggy tyres again!!!

i couldnt see on the pic if the axle has a flatspot which the grubscrew makes contact with,if it doesn't,just grind a small flat area on the axle and line it up with the grub screw.....should hold for longer at least......

what about getting a couple more grub screws and cut them down...use 2 grub screws per hub (using the second grub screw as a lock)

yeah the wrap is very necessary due to the centrifugal forces on the tyre.If there is a way of "welding" the join,you could do away with the wire...i guess you could stretch rubber o rings over the wheelinstead of wire..or even use bands made from bike innertube....hmmmmmm.....:detective:

yeah they are sweet!!still going strong,just make sure you glue them really well!! they are fun on the road too you can get some mad drifting happening.....and less rollovers because they slide instead of biting in and flipping the buggy.... watchout on the gravel though,they throw rocks a long...
