Ok so what do I do when neither one will keep the abs on? I've superglued the heck outa my wheels, used like half a tube of modeling glue, went thru all kinds of tapes, almost considered epoxy but I want the abs to come off when it wears out...any suggestions?

CA glue? or is that what you used, there is a difference between "superglue" and CA (as far as i know)

just put more electrical tape, it wont come off if you put enough.

then when it wears out just cut it off (hack saw) it wont be very thick anymore

i had the same problem, i just wrapped a nylon/material type tape around my rims until it was hard to fit the pvc on, works great for me.

Yeah I tried the electric tape between the wheel and the "tire" and the fit was so tight i had to get the edge of the tire on then put it on the ground and step on it to wedge it in place...works though :D

Get pipe thats about 1mm smaller than the diameter of the wheel, push the wheel in outside rim first - it will go in believe me - then 2 spots of superglue/ca/cyano/zap on one side of the wheel will keep it on

If you use too much you'll end up ditching the wheels
