Lucas, if you remember I was running unglued a few weeks ago and lost the A Final due to the rear coming off (inwards) causing the car to drive like a crab in the last few laps. I've since glued them now and no problem since, and that's running 13.5 in my 008 Xray.
I guess it depends how hard you are on the car. My minipins have only lasted 4-5 meetings, yet Cory's set still look good as new.
You might get away with it as the 009 is new to you, but I would suggest you glue them before the championship starts in 4 weeks.
Regards
