I give them a coat of wd40 after I pressure wash them off after the race night, an usually a coat after the heat race, if I think they feel a little to smooth I fire the kart up an hold some sand paper against them real quick, I keep it simple lol
Do what works man!
We used Creosote. It's the stuff on railroad ties. I have fond memories of scraping it off ties, but I don't recall how it was procured, though. It was certainly the heaviest of you will if you are looking for something to bring durometer down AND remain throughpout a run. If we needed something to help us fire off the first few laps, we'd use WD-40
Oh yeah, this was the late 90's early 2000s.
Definitely used WD. No Creo unless it’s in something I’ve used.
Used diesel fuel mixed with transmission fluid for several years. This was back in the mid 80’s to early 90’s
Honestly I don’t remember the ratio. The best thing I ever used was diesel mixed with creosote, but I don’t think it available any longer.
Surprisingly enough, I’ve never run creosote (unless it was pre mixed in something). I know it’s hard to come by and works wonders but have 0 experience with it.
I meet a man that raced in the 80 and early 90. Years ago. He told me if your starting in karting have little money for prep. He told me to use GOJO Hand Cleaner. There is oil in there he says, it will work. Help tires put oil in, and make tire softer and sticky. I tried it it works. I will use this to wipe down rap up store for winter. Note I do use track teck, red, orange know, but the gojo ariganale hand cleaner works.
That’s great to know.
we did this all the time. tires were better on gojo than WD. do not use gojo with pumice the cream one only
I used the original GoJo hand cleaner,, nothing in it like sand. White in color.
Equal parts methanol trans fluid and dot 3 brake fluid with drop the duro on a maxxis and Burris like crazy and straight trans fluid for conditioning over winter
Good to know
I'm a tarmac guy, does this work for tarmac short tack tires as well? I use vega yellows and vega reds
Absolutely does. People prep on all sorts of surfaces.
@@kart6t3_ben will try, thanks a lot
hit me up I have that work it will drop 25 to 30
points on barometer

Was wondering if you do any winter prepping like adding a coat or two once a week or letm sit till about two weeks before your first race
You can. Something like wd40 is going to keep oils in the tire. In my opinion. But I’d stay away from anything harsh like goat or super aggressives.
I used WD-40 on my tires after learning it from a buddy that was trying to get a little life out of an old Sprintcar tire. We Sprayed it and wrapped it with some packing wrap and let that sucker sit inflated for a week! LOL It looked a little better at least when we unwrapped it.
Nice. 👍
Would liquid wrench or like pb blaster do the same or even be better then WD-40???
I’ve heard pb blaster being used before.
Will it work on rc car’s tire ? Like wd40 I’m talking about
It very well might. Track Tac also has a RC tire line.
I believe RC cars' less than 1/4 scale will require something that is actually tacky or sticky. At least, that was my experience some 20 years ago.
Would you goat a tire that’s got a couple races left in it before the rubbers gone? Not just for track conditions but to soften it?
Absolutely. Goat has its place, it works but for my budget friendly guys I don’t want them risking good tires.
I use a simple system. I also keep my preps affordable for the amount you need to use. #firewatertiresolutions
Cool 😎
Might want to go into detail on destroying a tire with goat when there is still rubber left of the tire how is the tire destroyed from using it
I’ll do my best to address this.
@@kart6t3_ben you got good tips for beginners for sure
Will WD-40 drop duro aka noticeable can’t use prep in my class put tires a kinda old would like to bring the life back and maybe a advantage 🤫
Maybe slightly but not crazy that I recall. I think that it may help revive older tires a little bit.
I agree it's hard to buy a bunch of cans of prep when you don't even know how to use them
It’s a art to learn and know what to do when.
Wintergreen, WD-40…..
Aaaaah yes wintergreen. Forgot about that.
Can you do one on wheel jacking
As in the pressure and what occurs when the LF engages the ground?
@@kart6t3_ben ya like when you turn left and the whole kart teters and a wheel comes off the ground
I’m sure some know this, and I’m sure this will shock some others. But there is a “bigger” name prep company that uses ATF in one of there mixes. I have used it and it is a very aggressive softer. Which is what ATF will do to the right “rubber”
Yes. I’m sure alot of preps have known components in them.
