How to gain speed at no cost...

Maybe this is an old trick but I`m kinda new here so here we go:

Take a paper towel or napkin (unfolded) get it wet, then stick it on the floor so your car drives over every lap. This will keep your tyres clean and moist .. It gives driving completely new dimension, steering is unbeleivable.... The only problem is that dryes in a couple of minutes...

That's how I keep my tires clean... Works great. (wet napkin)

Lately I've been racing my car through puddles of water just for shits, and grins, and it's a blast..

I can get it to drift for about 2 seconds, but it's a really cool 2 seconds, and when I'm done, the tires are cleaner than brand new..

I like this idea... so, the water doesn't screw anything up?

well I wouldn't recommend driving your bit in to a glass of orange juice like hog, but over a damp napkin or even a little, itty, bitty puddle ditty - you'd be okay.

Like CW said, I don't run in deep water, but just in little puddles on the pavement.. About 2 glasses worth should be good.. it puts little speckles on the back of the car just like the real thing.. It's very cool

I've done the Deep water in 'My Montero' Video.

I now just lick the tires with my tongue.

wow that was fun you should all try it. you can do stunts like real cars can. just dont light a match or all that rubbing alcohol will go up in flames along with your bit.

I just use electrical tape, it cleans da tires and leaves them nice and sticky. Or i just do burnouts to clean em.

two more things: water won`t ruin anything, just don`t put it too much- all water must be soaked into napkin, no visible puddles ....
Sure you can use electrical tape or alcohol to clean tyres but that lasts about 2 turns then they are dirty again.....
I think everybody should try it ... It costs nothing, ready in a 20 seconds ... no "send me 2.95 and I will tel u how" and so ...
