Thanks Walt Rapp, I appreciate that. I always enjoy listening to stories about the making movies or the recording industry - before everything went digital - and the creativity that went into coming up with solutions and technical effects. That inspires me. For those who want to do the hobby on a budget, it is ABSOLUTELY possible... but not without some compromise.
And thanks to you Ritchie C. It's using bullfrog snot IN PLACE of traction tires... not adhering them. It's not a topic I pay close attention to, but I like the info to be right, so I stand corrected. I'm going to edit my post to reflect that.

Hey, Brian - I wasn't trying to correct your post in any way - just pointing out to the OP how it could be used to solve his problem. If someone had mentioned it earlier as a substitute for traction tires, I must have missed it. No issues !
