My freaking hands hurt like hell. I almost forgot how much a main in the arse it is to glue up maxx size stuff. 4 done, 4 to go.

If only there were more revo tires out there...

Those premounted CF's from Extreme Hobbies for $65 looks pretty good right about now, huh?

i hate revo tires. There so much more of a paine to glue. GOtta squirt the glue into the rim and slide the tire back into the rim while trying not to get the tire stuck before you can get it back in. Maxx size just life part of the tire up, squirt the glue and just make sure the tire seats down.

the only problem with the pre-mounted Crimes is the stock foam they put in them. Garbage

I feel ya brother!!!! I've been boiling my Boas off the narrowed Wabashes, throwing the old foams out, gluing up two part foams, sectioning/cleaning up the tires, putting in the 2" strapping tape, and remounting them for the last 2-3 hours!

its a lot more effective and easier to just bake the tires. Everytime ive done that the tire was already off the rim before i could even take the tires out of the oven. Little to no smell at all and just 100% effective.

everything you do is 100% effective and the best thing ever mich...lol

Mount the tire up and use rubber bands to hold the bead on. then a small dab in four spots to secure the bead. Then you use alittle and let the glue move around the bead while your spinning the tire.

As far as removing tires, I use acetone and let them soak over night.

You guys hate glueing tires, I'll glue them up for you. I actually enjoy it and have gotten my technique down pretty good.
No charge, just buy the glue, (Fusion) and I'll do them over the weekend.

I've been using BSI IC-2000 tire glue(black CA) to glue up my stuff. Works great...super strong and doesn't turn white.
