Tire question
 

My recently purchased rusty is throwin' tires like there is no tomorrow. Everything was fine until I started doing some jumping with it. Is the fix to glue the tires to the rims or do I need to put foam in the tires?

Thanks in advance...

i would put foam in them and see if that helps

Yea glue um. Foam wont do much in the way of holding the tires to the rims.

I glue mine:D:D:D

Foams help the tire maintain it's shape during cornering and to keep a more consistent contact patch on the ground. Gluing the beads will keep the tire on the rim. Use CA glue to tack your tires on the rims. If you don't have CA glue from a hobby shop handy, superglue that you guy at Wal-Mart or the grocery store is the same thing. When it's time to change tires, if you'd like to keep the same rims, use some acetone to dissolve the CA glue and remove the old tires.

plus if u don want to glue em ur self u always get preglued tirers.

RE: Tire question
 

Just make sure you get about a gallon of acetone so you can get your fingers apart when you're done! :D

And don't wipe your for-head when your using that stuff... Because it WILL get stuck... Not that I have done that or anything...[:@]

Thanks Guys, I'll let you know how it turns out...

I take you car only guys dont use CA too much LOL :)

Be carefull with the acetone, it will eat paint, and I think some cheap plastics as well.

I've never heard of RC wheels without glue. After gluing mine and letting the dry I test them all on my dremel at 10,000RPM. They balloon up about twice the size but as long as they stay on the rim I know they will never come off while driving.

I bought a tube of "super glue" for $2, it worked great! Just enough to do all four tires. Now for my next question: If super glue works, what is the rational for spending $6,7, or $8 for brand name "hobby" glue?

RE: Tire question
 

superglue not only works, it's the same glue with a different label.

RE: Tire question
 

yeah I had this problem after i pulled my T4 outta the dip the tires flung at me after pulling a hard right it was hugr

RE: Tire question
 

put in foams and glue all around the rim...so u get a good hold... i glued my fisrt tires and i jus put 4 dabs of glue on each tires and i was bashing and my left rear tires poped off the rim rippin' the tire..[:@]

RE: Tire question
 

ace, you need some new foams before we smell you from a mile away.

...and this is just joking, but I can't resist the chance to say it: your t4 really does stink! :D

For those that haven't heard the whole story, ace drove his brand new t4 into a septic tank and got it all covered in dookie. Those foams have to be nasty...

RE: Tire question
 

ahahaha
I cleaned them really well I ran them under boiling hot water for long times hell even the colorings gone from them then I rubbed some cologne on them to make sure lol it smells manly lol









and by manly I mean like crap but the dudes trying to cover it up with cheap cologne lol

RE: Tire question
 

You're up north where it's gettin' cold too - over the winter PLEASE invest in some new foams. They're cheaper than cologne!

By next June or July in the heat of the summer?

RE: Tire question
 

nice.....yupp should bought an evader!!....lol... what i would do is get moth balls and crumble them into ur foams then wash ur foams that will get any smell out...!:D... i run thru... a gas puddle....... yea a gas puddle with my evader and i couldn't get the smell out and thats what i did moth balls and then wash my foams..there they were good...:D
