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:
