Nick CNC has restarted his DIY tires project!

I was sad when he stopped, but I could understand the frustration. Looks like he’s made great progress on the tire compound.

I am VERY interested in this because I need a supply of narrow fronts for some SC10B projects.

Interesting video, I was hoping he had some links in the description to the carbon black and resin he was using...but no

I did some research on a similar process a while back, and real car tires use precipitated silica instead of carbon black now.

Here we go!

Wow, incredible engineering in that mold.

Really glad to see him come back and find some great results so far
