BRT1's and Wheel Wobble
Ok, this was my first itme gluing tires, and I was very careful to have things lined up correctly. Re-mounted a few times to make sure, then finally glued em! I still notice some wobble when hand turning the tires on the truck. I put the stockers back on and same thing, maybe a little less. Is this normal?

well it might not be the tyres. it could be bent axle. if you noticed it with the stockers aswell, chances are its not something to do with the actual tyres.
or you may just be paranoid

They wobble, I guarantee that, I just replaced the dogbones on one side so I know that isn't the issue. I guess I will run them and see how they work.

RE: BRT1's and Wheel Wobble
You'll probably be fine. I've bought a bunch of tires and wheels lately and have a pretty bad wobble on a set of XTM Velos that came pre-mounted. I still ran 'em around and didn't notice the wobble, performance wise. Not very sticky though. I have a set of the Losi Zombie Maxx tires and a set of the XTM BRT1's and like them both a lot. The Zombies stick like glue to just about anything but they do have a smaller overall diameter. Either way, after a few hard laps around your favorite track, you'll notice that all the tires are probably pushed toward the inside from hard cornering. You can then reslide them back to the center and they'll find their way back to the inside. Point being, your wobble may self correct after a few laps. Hope this helps.
