CA glue: Loctite vs Branded stuff

[RC944]

Do i really need to buy the branded stuff or is it all the same just CA rebadged? ive been using loctite and the annoying thing is the nozzle but the glue seems ok although tyres have become unseated during spirited bashing

wondering if its the glue or me!?

I have used many types of CA glue over the years. I have found ZAP (Pacer's pink and green for that matter) not to be so great as well as a heap och generic brands. German large scale RC car maker FG Modellsport makes an excellent tire glue as does Tamiya (CA cement for rubber tires). FG's bottle is OK, but in the large side. Tamiy's offering is cheap and comes in a small package. The tube is in all honesty not so good, but the glue sure is. The Tamiya product comes in small packages, so it does not feel like a waste if the nozzles (you get two) go completely bad before its empty.

I only use Tamiya's glue, but would not hesitate to use FG's either. I have a friend that is a very competitive racer who swears by Loctite's CA glue. So perhaps it is you. In all honesty, perhaps they have several and I do not know which one he uses.

I let my tires soak in hot water with ample washing up liquid and I then use some pure alcohol co clean all chemical residue that may be left from the manufacturing process. I used a coarse wet sand paper to roughen up the rims before I glue. If you do that the tires should wear out or break before come loose from the rim.
