Yellow mini pins - do you even need to glue them??
 

slightly daft question, I realise ... I expect the answer is "Yes, fool".

But just thought they seem so rigid on the rims. Maybe just a few drops?

they need gluing on well all the way round

It's all personal preference, gluing.

I fit it to the rim, peel one side and drop a little thin CA in, it'll run around most of the rim. Peel the other side and repeat if you can. Once the rim's glued on I also run a bead around the joint between the tyre and wheel, it'll seal it all and make sure it won't come off...

yes fool

deffo need gluing.

I'm going to prove you all wrong and go 'commando'.

We'll see who's laughing then.....


... maybe.

I never glued the my Mini-Pins on my 1/16th LWB LRP Shark tonight and they last 25 mins of racing. One did come off fully at the end of the night BUT the car was on the roof and I was reving the bollocks off it, tyre flew in the air about 20 foot!

I would glue them, had just ran out of glue for tonight

you should have asked me jonesy i had some left after gluing my motor together ha ha

your cars spend most of their time on the roof dont they jonsey!! lol:lol:
Glue em up mate, they need it!

where you racing next big guy?

A guy at our club doesn't glue his tyres and every meeting they come off but he won't glue them, the clown :lol:.

I wanna be a clown.

They're proper scary.

You should know better than asking daft questions like that mr G. If you dont glue em you will be riding round york like a joyrider thats just been stung by the coppers.:lol:

If you're mounting them on a car you bought at RadioShack, that can't get out of it's own way - no problem.
If you're mounting them on a REAL rc car, I suppose you could enjoy watching them spin off the rims when the car reaches top end.

spinning tyres = wicked.

r/c joyriding is for life's winners.
