You could try adhesive sandpaper to be wrapped on the tyres' surfaces. They sell dispensors, but usually the sheets are perforated. If the dispensor would not work, you could try average sandpaper, cut it to length (classic π *d *x *h* formula)* and then attach it with spray adhesive--or just glue! It's your call. - *my pi didn't copy very real... On Wed, Jan 14, 2009 at 7:57 PM, Don Shankin wrote: > I bought a few of them from HD.

[TANKS] T064 Designated
I am pleased to announce that Fred Thomson's M41 Walker Bulldog has been officially designated as T064, with initial photos and construction details available at: http://www.rctankcombat.com/tanks/T064/ Nice to see some more U.S. tanks being built. Now he just needs to get it done before the Spring battling season is upon us. Frank P. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.

I bought a few of them from HD. I couldn't find any that were 1.5" wide... they were .75" wide, so I put two of them side by side on a wheel. I didn't like how thick they were, and I couldn't get the edges to mesh up as nicely as I wanted, so I killed that idea. Last time I was at HD I saw some rubber sheeting that was a lot thinner. I think it was used for lining showers or something like that. I don't think I want a bouncy "tire", just something to prevent wood on wood contact between the bogie wheels and the inner track pieces On Wed, Jan 14, 2009 at 5:20 PM, Mike Måne wrote: > Some people have used the rubber from bungie cords.

Some people have used the rubber from bungie cords. You can buy solid rubber bungie cords with a variety of widths at department stores. - On Wed, Jan 14, 2009 at 9:25 AM, Don Shankin wrote: > Yeah, I will have some pictures up soon.

Why not just look for a website similar to rc tank combat but with boats instead.

If it does break a couple of shops near me sell them for £10. I don't think you would get a r/c transmitter that cheap.
