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.
