Axxelerate RC Tire Roller Sweep

New Swiss RC accessories brand Axxelerate RC, the same people who are behind the country’s largest indoor RC racing track AX Arena, have released this Tire Roller Sweep.  The Tire Roller Sweep is a tool designed to prepare and condition tires for maximum performance on the track.  By applying consistent pressure, this tool smooths and flattens the tire surface, ensuring a more even grip and reducing irregularities.  This process enhances handling and tire life, which Axxelerate say makes it a must-have for serious competitors.  When using new tires, excess tire glue can sometimes form uneven spots, affecting the tire’s overall performance.  By rolling the tires with the Tire Roller Sweep, you can “break” the glue and ensure a uniform tire surface.

Benefits of Using the Tire Roller Sweep

Even Pressure Application: Unlike makeshift tools like hex wrenches, the Tire Roller Sweep applies uniform pressure across the entire tire, preventing uneven deformation.

Preserves Wheel Integrity: When rolling with improper tools, you might distort the hole through which the wheel axle passes. The Tire Roller Sweep is designed to fit perfectly inside the wheel, protecting the structure and maintaining the original shape.

Optimises Tire Foam Insert: By rolling the tire, the foam insert inside the tire is flattened slightly, increasing the air gap between the foam and the rubber. This can improve tire performance by enhancing flexibility and grip during high-speed turns.
