Re: Great Dane excavating co.
Lol, picked them up for another project,
  These are what I'm planning on using. I'm planning on running them inside the axle. So two in the rear. And was also thinking of using some radio mixing to control them independently. Act as a locking axle or slip for tight turning. So you think 118 rpm at axle may be on the fast side?

Coop that tire is excellent! It can only get better from here! Color isn't bad especially if more pigment will start messing with the rubber.
I definitely like SuperGirls paint job!

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
Thank you fellas!! Got home and found a big box on porch. Figured it was for wife. Found my name on it and was surprised as I only had one thing coming in mail and it wasn't going to be here till Friday. The box looked really big for the small 1:50 diecast truck I got. Figured they went nuts with packing peanuts. Was surprised to actually get a side by side eye on how big my next project is going to be.

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
Cooper-your first tire looks good. You probably don't need my advice but I will offer a bit of what I learned in this process. I see a little air and this will be a small problem but I noticed one of your vent holes may not be on the highest point of the tire but I could not see all of them. That could be some cause for air. Also I think you will have a better chance of getting the air out if you keep the mold level in both directions when you are close to being full. Another thing I found was to not fill the vent holes. Just let the rubber barely get into the vent holes and the air still has a chance to escape. Also, if you have the working time, stop for a few minutes when it is about 90% full and let the air escape. Then finish filling it up. One other thing I found that saved a lot of time was to leave the mold open and pour the bottom half almost full then attach the top mold and finish filling.This will take a little practice but I'm sure you will get it right.

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
Keeping with the topic of big pink silicone things. I have to wonder if a little vibrating motor would help to disperse the bubbles or would it make things worse? I'm not talking paint shaker here but just a little gentle vibration to help settle out the bubbles...

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
Yeah maybe not even that violent. Just a gentle vibration to get the juices moving
 . Rub-a-Dub has been pretty quiet for a day now so my guess is he will be back tonight with 6 perfect tires.
