I have some original RC10 tires that are actually in great condition considering their age, but I feel like I should condition them with something just to help them last as long as possible. Quick internet search comes up with 3n1, Armour All, silicone, plastic conditioner, etc. Amazon also sells rubber restorer kinda made for rubber rollers on printers and such. SO yea, sorta lost on this one.
What are you guys using on old tires to bring them back to life?
Thanks

I build RCs like people would have done back in the '90s ..................................... if they had 3D printers.

Re: Vintage Tire Restoration / Conditioning
I was once told by a member on this forum to use food grade silicon. I'm not sure other than that though. I have a ton of tires that need some attention also.

Silicone is a weird a$$ thing! I just used "100% silicone" to attach a depth sounder transducer to my boat hull this afternoon ............... and now it is what will keep my rc rubber tires supple!THEYTOOKMYTHUMB wrote: ↑Sun Apr 11, 2021 5:12 pm I was once told by a member on this forum to use food grade silicon.
