Tyre zig

Image
Japan is in the rainy season. It continue rain today. I build tyre with zig. Before down the upper late,I push down side of tyre near hinge the upper plate.  For that zig can make uniform space between wheel and tyre. After paste CA ,I turn the tyre slowly for CA soaking uniformly. And push upper plate to make space more,CA soaked deep in to wheel rim.

Tyre inner foam

Image
Today AMain baggage arrived. Proline blockade inner is hard. It's little harder pivot ball car. Pivot ball suspension move progressively then tyre is need deformation. And track surface has bump. I punched holes on inner as Ty Tesmann. I usually use AKA red inner for PL. Sworkz parts has cost performance. The clutch bell is made by spring steal. It's ceramic ball bearing. Ifs for center diff. Long endurance is needed durability for thermal. Continue to paint. Finally I got avid gaskets for pipe. Avid has something good.

TPRO

TPRO is Sworkz tire brand. Sworkz place on Taiwan. Almost buggy are made in Taiwan. Sworkz products are high quality. For example clutch and shoe and bell are. Atsushi Hara and mechanic Miura are good for quality. Then named Hara products are excellent in the past. This is Hara bite. TPRO use new material for this tire. I bought pre mount tire at Spiral. Japan nats champion Ajishi made the tire. The punch three air halls on corner of side wall. Probably 3mm. And he punch another side too. But hole position is displaced on two side. Block of the tire is little smaller than AKA impact.But Little bigger than inside job. Then I build Impact. I punch the hole same position as AJ. I get two types of control tire.

For next week

Control tire system is good for economy. We have to buy only few type tire. But we have to try many combination compound and foam and wheel. After all I'll spent much money for tire. Probably tire market is the most big on the RC industry. First Pro Line Blockade.  Second AKA Impact. Third TPRO Harabite. Harabite tire is develop by World champion Atsushi Hara. But he is privater now. Hara developed products is so good like s HB megabite or D812 in the past. Probably the tire is somthing different. Left side pin has margin from side wall.  Pro Line compound is complex. They has two line of compounds. X line is for high grip truck like a EU truck. M line is for dirt truck like a US truck. AKA compound is selected by temperature. It has four types. TPRO has SS,S c...
