Ofna Hyper Mini Ste On Road

[snellemin]

I don't have a hyper mini, but I do have the crt.5. Almost the same thing. For onroad use, I mount my own foam tires. I use foam donuts from rc4less and newera. I used the 7400kv B50 hacker past Sunday on 4s A123. Plenty fast.

Here's a pick of the tires I made over the weekend mounted on Traxxas wheels. As you can see, they have a lot of meat. For even higher speeds, I like the 6 layer silver foam donuts from rc4less.

those tires look perfect for some onroad action , i was thinking of grabbing the rcmonster 12mm to 17mm adapters for it and then buying some 1/8th size slicks or foams on ebay. A few friends have been using some 1/8th size slicks that are like $15 shipped on ebay and they get some good results. What speed control is that ? 4s is crazy for this. What kind of speeds do you think you are reaching?

Link?

I've tried some of the tires from Supra Sales and they have been decent, but the slicks they have are $23 shipped.

Do you use a tire truer to make these? Anything special needed? What specifically are those traxxas rims. I also have a crt.5 just sitting collecting dust..yours may inspire me to do the same

I do use a tire truer for these. I use contact cement to clue them. I cut the inner rim lip off with a razor and sand them down a bit for the clue to catch onto something. I coat both inner foam donut and wheel. Let airdry a bit and then coat both donut and wheel again to act as lubricant and activator. Just squeez the donunt in place and dry overnite. Next day I just cut them down on the truer or drillpress.

The rims are Traxxas Rear Wheel Chrome Nitro Rustler.

I buy the foam donuts from RC4Less and mount them to the rims, where I cut the second inner lip off. Sand the rims a bit on the truer and mount the donuts with regular contact cement. I've use donuts from neweramodels and they don't last too long.
