Really cheap slicks for a Micro T (Pics)

[REVO of Rustler]

Here's a way to make some slicks for a Micro T/B/DT/ and I would imagine a Raminator.

All you need are balloons and some scissors.

1. Take the tire off and get a balloon.

2. Take the neck off of the balloon (this will be your slick).

3. Then, stretch the balloon neck over the tire.

4. Take the scissors and trim off the excess balloon.

5. After that, put the tires back on and have fun!

They might not look that nice, but they work great.:)

that's pretty innovating thinking right there - i imagine they grip like crazy!

Not really. They just help it so that you can try your hand at drifting. They get way worse traction than the Micro DT tires that I have on it.:)

Cool idea, how about some vids?

Well, after testing them outside, they didn't seem to work too well because they just kinda rolled off of the tire. So, they're really just made for indoor surfaces. They work good on wood floors. No videos yet, but I might get one up.:)

wow....like dude what happened to your body there??it like got smasahed or something it looks like

[WrenchHead]

Look alot like BITE marks to me. Also some puncture wounds as well. Did you try and play chicken with a BIG dog and the Micro-T lost the battle that day ? Man I know those bodies are not that expensive to buy a new one.LOL Nice Idea with the balloons. Oh Losi is releasing some nice on-road tires on some nice mini22's chromed out. Be out next month I hear.L8R,Wrench.

The story behind the body is that I had been driving around the living room and then I took off the body to charge it and left the body laying on the couch and our big dog found it...:)
