      well it would sandpaper your wheels.

      not cool plus if u roll your car it would wreck your paint work.

      so no its not a good idea man. just use high traction foam or carpet if you want grip.

      well thats my 2 cents worth.

      it would be grippy, but if you want the best grip possible rubber sheets are the go.

      a bit of slip i think is perfect though.90 degree powerslide turns should be the goal of having enough slip balanced with grip in my opinion.

      just use “blackboard” paint on plywood… easier to paint than gluing sheets of sandpaper!!

      besides you don’t really need more grip anyway, there’s plenty on most surfaces
