Using pipe cleaners safely

Brilliant idea Cramjet. I had given up on pipe cleaners a couple of years ago but can confidently use them now. Looking forward to meeting you and all the other Pros live at the Nationals!
 
Hey! Yeah, I look forward to meeting you and the rest of the pros as well! I'm staying at the Hampton and HOPE to get there between 9 and 10 pm Friday night. My daughters Natalee and Anya, as well as the scouts I have been working with, are all getting very excited. It won't be long now!
 
Natalee told me again today she is looking forward to meeting you. It's like you have celebrity status. She said you are her favorite derby racer after me.
 
Juuust great...not only is he beating me on the track, he's also winning the popularity contest! Lol! Looks like I got my work cut out for me. Look out Bulldog...
I'm com'n for ya!!!
 
Oh I don't know Ballistic, you are one tough fellow rookie! Enough so that I always have one eye on how you are doing /images/boards/smilies/cool.gif So far we are just finding our groove and relying on quite a bit of luck for our tuning since we don't have tracks. I MIGHT have my Street Stock dialed in now though. My BASX cars are still a total crap shoot until I run them on a track.
 
Very good video.

I have stopped using pipe cleaners because they shed and leave too much fluff, dust and strands behind even though I used my air compressor to blow the wheels clean. I found that if I don't use anything that leaves dust and strands behind in the beginning my wheel prep is better, wheels are cleaner and my times improved on the track.

Cramjet I hope to meet you at one of Zeebzob's test and tunes.

He just looks at them and they become polished.

If you've ever seen him work a set of wheels, you'll know what I mean.

cool

I bet his wheels are smoother than a 50 year old scotch. He is sure doing something right !

Thanks Kinser....I got the whole waxing and polishing kit from John, but I think I have a ways to go with wheel prep. I've quickly learned that Ok, decent, good, and very good, doesn't cut it when it comes to wheel and axle prep. Anything less than excellent is literally a waste of time .
