Thanks for watching! It was a pleasure

Welcome! Thanks for watching

I’ve heard of this, I’m gonna get on that program too!

The way it’s shown on the video is the best method. The glue helps take away front traction in this case which is what we are looking for.

Yesh you still glue the tire on the wheel as normal. This trick is just an addition to tuning your car if it's too twitchy or has a tendancy to want to flip in tight corners.

I think for all high traction situations it should work well.

This is primarily going to be a carpet thing. I can't see many situations there this would work on dirt. The main reason that I understand for doing this, is that it prevents the sidewall edge of the tire, from folding under, and causing it to dig into the carpet, and traction roll. By applying the glue, and creating a glossy surface by utilizing an activator, first the sidewall will be less prone to fold under from being stiffer which will reduce traction. Secondly, with the smooth surface, the tire will have a tendency to slide over the carpet, rather than dig into it, further reducing traction mid corner. This not only prevents the car from traction rolling, but also reduces the amount of steering it puts on the outside wheel, effectively numbing the car a little bit, and making it more forgiving to drive hard at the absolute limit. Where as for something like indoor clay where we are running full slicks already to try to get more grio, unless it's REALLY gripped up, there isn't much need for trying to reduce front grip. Though I am sure some have done it successfully. Personally, I don't see the point, when I can do plenty of other things to numb the front of the car, that don't involve reducing mechanical grip. For 1/8 scale, the hot ticket is foam gluing, helping to reduce the slip angle in the tire, making it feel more direct.

Yes I’ve used this in off road, mainly four the 1:10 slick track racing. But can be Applied for 1:8 too but not common.
