Default Tyre gluing
Hello, i am hoping someone can help. I am new to all things r/c. Santa bought me a b4 FT and i have just finished getting all the bits for it. I intend racing when the weather improves. One thing i am really struggling to do ..neatly.. is glue the tyres on. Never as good as others i see. Is there a secret? Special glue? I want the buggy to look good, no overgluing etc. Is there a way of cleaning it all up??? Help

I would buy some proper tyre glue, and one of those RPM tyre fixture things. They are great.

I just spend a while getting the tire to seat well in the rim and run a thin line of REALLY strong glue around the rim (MuchMore is very strong, well worth the £4)

I've just recently switched from super glue to proper CA tyre glue and it makes a world of difference. The CA glue I have is much thinner than super glue so it spreads more neatly and dries quicker. The application tip is also much thinner so it does a much neater job.

I use proline thin glue. Very good because it is so thin that it just runs round the rim of the wheel and tire.
If you have some thick elastic bands tht will hold the tire tight to the wheel tht will help you get the tyre glued up straight.

hope this helps
