how to make PVC/ABS tires

[minirc963]

This is a "HOW TO" thread is for NOOBS/Novinces in rc drift. this is for people that want to make PVC/ABS tires instead of spending big money on drift tires. So Expensive!!

THINGS NEEDED:
-HOT GLUE GUN WITH GLUE
-RIMS OF CHOICE
-2" PVC/ABS cut into 1" and 1/4th of a inch
-electric tape


"HOW TO"

First you need to go to the local hardware store and pick up some PVC or ABS with 2" inner diameter. Then, you need to cut it 1"and 1/4 of a inch. You can either use a miter saw(what i used) or a hack saw with a cheap miter box. Take your time to make the cuts straight. then you sand the PVC/ABS till it's smooth. You can also use a router to round off the edges but i don't have a dremel or a router. Then, you take your rims that you want to make the tires out of and you tape it till the PVC/ ABS fits on snug. if you have the kind of PVC that is smaller, than put it in some boiling water and take it out and slip it onto the rims really quick. then air dry it. I'm not sure if you can do that with the ABS. I used PVC that was a little bit bigger so i had to use some electric tape to make it so the PVC slides on snug. Then, after you set how you want the PVC/ABS on the rim, you take a hot glue gun and glue the rim to the PVC/ABS. It is shown in the video i have made. If you do the boiling method, you don't need to do the hot glue because it is already really tight. Only use hot glue because you can reuse the rims after you have drifted so much that it is down to the rim. All you have to do is rip off the glue. Then you mount it onto whatever car you have.

nice, big help for us newbies ;D

[Rubbish]

Acutally u do not even need a glue gun. The use of the tape is enough to hold the PVC in place.

Without using the glue gun remover is also easy and can also reuse the rims again.

[minirc963]

that's why i use hot glue. so i could reuse the rims. if you only use tape, it is extrememly hard to put on and hard to take off. also, sometimes if you hit something on the ground really hard, it might move out of place. then you have to adjust, sometimes, you don't even notice

hey, what if my rims are metal? now my rims plastic so i can just force the PVC over it but the plastic will bend abit, metal de how ar, any way to expand the PVC, i dunt want to scrach the rims so cant file and if want to file the pVC will take forever. lol. is the tape and glue really nessasary?

I use yokomo rims , use a scissors or pen knife and file the inside of the pvc till you see an obvious gradient, then push it into your rim.

[sprag]

yea that was a great help.!

[Vwongjj]

is there any other way besides using the hot glue gun ? n wJ can u explain clearer to me about filing teh inside of teh pvc

[E3lipse]

Take a penknife,scissors, tile it at 45degree angle on the inside edge of a pvc and go around and around till you see a gradient on it.

By the way, do you type very fast?
Noticed all your "the" becomes teh.
Slow down on your typing
