openz diy 1/28 tires and rims

thingiverse

this is a tire system for Openz based on v16 models but may work on others.note you will need to print 2 of the molds, note that the body will probably need modifications to fit competition tires, also note to achieve full range of motion in steering the tie rod will need to be modified. to make the tires mix cornstarch and 100% silicone #1 until the consistency of play-dough and doesn't stick to your fingers. push the mixture into the mold halfs, be generous some extra mixture on top of the mold will ensure good bonding between the two. the squeeze mold halves together and let sit abouit half an hour. seperate slowly using a small flathead screwdriver between the molds and a small allan wrench or rounded off toothpick to push through the burp holes being carefull not to over penetrate. once removed carefully clean the part with a hobby knife or sand paper. small inperfections can be touched up with the same mixture or pure silicone. please leave feedback if these did or did not work for you i will be adding more as it becomes available
