whats the proper way to get tires(glued) off of rims

i hear sumthin about boiling them , whats the proper way

either boil them or bake themm.

acetone is the easiest way to take them put them in somthing and let them sit a day or overnite and take them off and you can boil them also but its a little harder to get the tire all the way off.

boil them for how long

or is it worth doin it a rims are not very much

Personally whenever I buy new tires I also buy a set of rims. I don't like having to take off the old tires and then clean the old rims plus I like to change the look of my models alot and a new set of rims is a fast way to do that and I can use the old set as spares, besides buggy rims are fairly cheap when compared to other classes of vehicles such as MT's and Truggies.

I never really understtod why people used the boil, or bake method. After doing it alot thwe wheel tends to warp a little and it takes some effort. Just buy some regular ol' Acetone, and submerege you wheels in there for a day or so. The tires peel rigght off the wheels, and theres no glue residue or anything left behing. I just like to spray the wheel with alchohal (or even water) just to make sure all ther acetones out, and then put some more tires on.

i take an xacto knife for 1/8 scale wheels. just cut as close to the rim as possible and then take a dremel to the tire and rim to clean up the surface

i place mine in boiling water for 10-15 mins per tyre and it simple peels of but were oven gloves lol hot stuff.

I agree, new ones are the way to go. Acitone works though, an over nite soak and the will come off. Boiling them smells up the house and burns the hand. Baken works pretty good, 250 for 10 min, just turn the oven off once the tires go in. Preheat oven to 250, once the oven hits 250, turn it off, toss in the tires, 10 min later and they should pop off.
New ones are the best way to go.

I have wheels I have taken tires off 2 or 3 time by boiling and never warped one. All so it actually makes the wheels hold up better. Have you ever talked to people that told you to boil your plastic parts to make them more flex able where they do not brake as easy. Keep in mind the smell with baking them and I have never had much or any smell with boiling. I would think you would get worse smell with acetone not counting the dangerous fumes. Boiling works great for me and only takes about 15 to 20 minuets of boiling. But what ever works for you go for it.

if you use the acetone method, make sure you cover up your container or it's pointless and smelly. i'd just say buy new ones, but not everyone has a ton of money to spend on tires every weekend and what not.

Bake em for sure....I have boiled in the past, and the results were ok....I baked three sets the other day and baking works SO MUCH BETTER - put tires on a cookie sheet and throw them in the oven...then start the oven and set temp to 350 - once it gets to temp, shut the oven off and go do something for about an hour or so (or do it overnight). Come back, and the tires will come right off with no chunks, no wet foam, etc...you want the wheel to be cool before taking the tire off so you do not warp the rim...I will never boil again!
