HOw long to boil tires for?????
How long do I have to boil tires till I can get the glue to come off? And also my TTR ST-1 on the head there is 6 screws this is the 1st time I ever took the head off and only had 5 bolts[:@] The other bolts were in there pretty good but what do you think I should do? I have another bolt from my t-maxx its a little shorter try that?[:@] Thanks guys..>>!

once the water is bubbling it takes like 5 minutes per side. i use a fork to hold'em down underwater and a butter knife to tear the tire off, just a little twist. its a pain but it gives you something to do when the weather is bad out.
