Taping tires with fiberglass

[team3six]

Or you could of just just purchased the new set of GRP wheels. They are designed for contorled donut effect. I believe Losi owns GRP now and Proline and JConcepts are making the same types of wheels.

More than one mag has published how-tos on taping wheels. 3M packaging tape, aka strapping tape is the best to use. Its stronger than the centrifugal force the tire is exposed too, comes in 2" wide rolls and the self adhesive is strong enough to keep it planted in a clean tire. Need to clean the inside with denat alcohol (scrub) - if you want to scuff inside, its up to you. Use a 1" overlap, any more is detrimental to balance.

Duct tape is the worst stuff to use - it will eventually eat foam liners if that's what you're using. Duct tape will eventually turn sticky and bunch foam liner up.
