Trackmaster 2.0 rubber coating the drive wheels. - Ucwepn - 09-23-2014
Hi all as the title says I have rubber coated a set of drive wheels on a Trackmaster 2.0 Gator, I used the rubber coating product called plasti dip. It has around doubled the grip between the hard geared wheels and TOMY track and Gator can now haul 3 trucks and a 20tonne brakevan up my steepest hill with little problem. I am making a youtube video of test 1 and I was surprised and quite happy with how successful it was that I am keen try multiple coats to see if it increases grip any further. I am guessing it could pull 6-7 trucks on the flat with no problem but can't try that until tomorrow as the layout is covered up.
