The track surface

Post by JMR »

Hello
on my test track I used PLASTI-DIP slip-resistant paint.
the grip is of good quality.
The painting is easy to removed.
You know this product?

That's an interesting idea, put the rubber on the road instead of the tire! Keep us posted on how well it works, maybe a video of how they run?

Thanks for posting,

Very interesting idea JMR. I had considered using the stuff on the tires but hadn't thought about painting the entire track since I thought it was a bit pricey. Please keep us posted.

Also how easy is it to remove for repairs?

hello
the paint comes off easily like an orange peel.
Successive layers bind them.
Repairs are possible.
The average thickness is equal to 0.2 mm to 0.3 mm max

Hello
Here is a video showing the adhesion of the track
half of the track is completed the other half has a single layer.

Looks good. Anything on the tires? Paint come in gray? Or how about white? Then one could custom mix colors. Very nice grip.
