Tyre Cleaning
Only regularly available detergent-based cleaners and water can be used to
clean tyres (e.g. Simple Green). The use of solvents to clean the tyre bead
before glue application is permitted. (RCRA Rule 9.6.6)
Punching Tyres A maximum of 2 holes may be punched in each tyre with a maximum of
4mm diameter. Insert may be modified (per RCRA).
Inserts
RCRA has advised that there is no ruling in the current EP-OFR rule set
related to gluing or modifying tyre inserts. Given there are no rules to
prevent such, RCRA advises (on 21/7/19) that the gluing of inserts to rims
is allowed, and racers are able to modify inserts.
The host club requires competitors to use the inserts supplied with the tyre
at purchase and request no additive to be added to the insert. We also
advise placing a dot of superglue over the compound marking on the tyre
for ease of identification by Scrutineers.
Ordering &
Collection
The Sydney Radio Control Car Club Inc will not be handling control tyre
orders directly. We will be utilising our club sponsor Campbelltown Hobbies.
Place your orders directly with Campbelltown Hobbies here.
Additive (goop)
The Sydney Radio Control Car Club Inc is closely monitoring the 2020
Victorian State Titles usage of the TDK tyre additive* which is (a) currently
the only tyre additive approved by the RCRA and (b) will be used in line with
the recently published tyre additive policy & procedures from the RCRA.
Should the event in Victoria be successful we will look to replicate this
process in NSW (subject to reviewing any policy updates from the RCRA
following the Victoria State Titles).
We wish our friends in Victoria all the best for their state titles and hope to
learn from their experience and build on that here in NSW.
Note: If implemented for NSW additive will be provided at no additional
charge to competitors.
*TDK Repairs Aggressive Tyre Sauce (SKU: TDK1001). This product is bio-
degradable, eco-friendly, and deemed “safe” by the manufacturer.
Tyre Scrutineering
▪ Brand new tyres MUST be inspected for marking to the Scrutineers at
