removing rc tyres
 

whats the best way to remove rc tyres from wheels

thanks - ryan

i have some super glue disolver pm me ill sort you some out

acetone. :thumbsup:

Or you can wrap them in tin foil (stops the house smelling) then put them in the oven. Bake for about 15 minutes at 150c

They then just peel off nice and easy.

not heard of that method before :eh?:

Steam them off
 

I heard that an it is possible to steam them off, club member said put them in a steamer for an hour, I'm gonna try it later today if the wife will lend me her steamer )

you may end up with 1/18th wheels :lol:...let us know if it works though :)

nice one but i dont think i dare try it it be more than my lifes worth messing with the wifes new cooker :thumbsup:

The last picture of the wheels on that website show that their is still the glue left on the wheels. Acetone removes the glue from the wheels aswell. :thumbsup:

Acetone is the best way:thumbsup:

Stupidly flammable too, added bonus :thumbsup:

steaming for 30 mins is the safest way :thumbsup:

until you realize it alters the plastic in the rims
your heat treating them how do you think there made

rubbish

acetone and a decent sealed container.


use in a well ventilated area with eye protection and keep well away from sources of ignition

:(:thumbdown: ... :thumbsup:

thats what your wheels will end up being:thumbsup:

:bored:

keep on flogging your acetone mate :yawn:

The wheels will warp when heated.

The proline ones are not perfectly round at the best of times anyway:lol:

Acetone is the way forward:thumbsup:

they will only warp if you heat them in say an oven, steaming them won't warp them, mine are all still perfectly round :). acetone will be more effective at disolving the glue, but messing around with dangerous chemicals isn't ideal for everyone.

Its not even dangerous if you bathe in it.

It can be flammable but it is less flammable than having a bowl of petrol on the table. In industry, having acetone in a process does not warrant a hazardous area title.

Its not that bad:thumbsup:

Its the glue on my fingers from peeling the tyres off that gets on my tits:lol:

can i put the tyres in nail varnish remover that has acetone in it dosnt it

Yes as long as you dont get the acetone free stuff:thumbsup:

Woundn't advise bathing in it:

Yes i know i was extracting the urine:(

I dont see what is unsafe about acetone. It is only as unsafe as the user makes it.

i wish there was a odourless method as my lungs cant tolerate any sort of fumes, hospital jobby for me :thumbdown:

were do you obtain acetone:confused:nuclear stores:lol:but on a more serious note,how much is the stuff:confused:

pm carl latham (bigred on here) dave he sell it :thumbsup: good stuff too:thumbsup:

I got my acetone from ebay:thumbsup:

Ryan we have some acetone and if you wish you can give us your tires and we can soak them off for you.

nice one:thumbsup

you mentioned warp, i said it will alter them, and it will, steaming them will soften the plastic making them weak and soft.and make your car drive well just wrong, i have no need to worry about my sales,of SUPER GLUE DISSOLVER,people that use it know how good it is
including bradders, craggy,Riley,Yardy, need i say any more

mines pretty much oder less
just don't put your face in it

Acetone is also used to make plastic, fibers, drugs, and other chemicals. In addition to being manufactured as a chemical, acetone is also found naturally in the environment, including in small amounts in the human body
sound ok doesn't it

Steaming them is proberly just asdangerous as aceton as to make steam you have to have boilling water. Try getting that on you whoa it hurts.

Complete foundationless twaddle. Enough said from both of us on the subject of steaming.

The acetone will do a great job as long as people are careful with it :)

Steaming does keep the flavour in though:thumbsup:

hmmm lovely

Not to me you dont mate :thumbsup: - any chance of sending me some with the receiver please ?

Thanks :)
