    Goat Piss King here, I could absolutely kill a set of Maxxis HT-3 with that stuff. Five laps into the feature I was sliding off the track because my tires gave up.

      That can happen. Burn em up early and ZANG no grip.

    Been having good luck preping with black sand a week prior and then running either sqs or orange at the track. I feel like less is more for my son. Ive messed up with too much prep where the tires felt soapy and had to clean it off and leave it.

      Once they are saturated it takes awhile to absorb for certain.

    Hey Ben, thanks for the great videos! They are very helpful.
    We run treaded Burris 22's or 33's on a clay track...do you recommend prepping these tires the same way you have shown in other videos?
    Should I be using the orange DRT and BTGP red on these treaded tires?
    Thank you!
    Rock on

    • @kart6t3_ben
      @kart6t3_ben  Před rokem +1

      You can. The btgp will soften the tread quite a bit so be careful. I’d recommend starting with orange or at2 at first to see if you feel any benefit. I just would hate for you to soften a set of tires and burn them up too quick.

  • @speeddemonmotorsports4556

    I’ve been down that road three weeks ago over prep the tires and the kart was stuck to the track and the tires were making a chirping sound

    Great example,what tires did you end up on at Carnsville? Just curious

    Do you feel like if you over preped the tires that bumping the pressure up a little helps?

    • @kart6t3_ben
      @kart6t3_ben  Před rokem

      It will help a little bit I think. At least make the effects not as bad.

    Using Black Sand for the first time this week. Couple questions, first, we prepped a new pair of scuffed Maxxis Sunday. Will they be ready by Friday? What's your preferred Black Sand prep method? And lastly, do you use any prep in combination with Black Sand? Thanks!

    • @kart6t3_ben
      @kart6t3_ben  Před rokem +1

      2-3 coats of straight black sand. Then at track cut black sand 50/50 with acrysol or Naptha vm&p and use as a pre race wipe at track. Yes id say your ok Sunday to Friday applying BlackSand.

    Ok... Question Can you just move up/down on track to correct over prep (up a little looser???)

    • @kart6t3_ben
      @kart6t3_ben  Před rokem

      Yes. If you get out of the main line or prep line you can free the kart up. Problem is there usually isn’t any bite up there. But changing line do to handling woes is very common.

    So what can I do if over prep happens ? Will they come back by themselves , do I need to apply more chemicals to reverse or is the tire junk ?

    • @kart6t3_ben
      @kart6t3_ben  Před rokem +1

      If u either stop prepping or better yet set them to the side and run another set is more ideal. Having softer and harder sets with you can give you a better chance.

      It makes tires faster, People are gonna do it. Very hard to police everyone so it’s just part to the game now.
