Default Quick Question For Materials On Tires

I just want to make sure I have all products needed before ordering new tires and wheels along with a new wings for my losi 8.

4 Wheels
4 Tires that include molded foam inserts
1 bottle of tire glue

Do I need anyting else?

Question once the tires wear out can I just strip the rubber off and re use the rims? I know its a dumb question but you never know with this hobby.

Links are below on all of the upgraded products

Thanks again everyone. Next I am looking for some blue front and rear springs to match the rest. Any help would be great.

You can but it's a major pain to get them off. Boil them in water and then dremel off all the old glue. It's actually easier to do with the Losi wheels you have since they don't have a lip like other wheels.

edit:
I just saw you're buying Kyosho wheels and they do have a lip on them making the removal of old glue a bit harder.

So are these the only material needed for the tires and wheels. Anything else recommended?
