Glueing Ballastic Tyres

[Dudders]

Why is it that whenever I glue rear ballistic tyres they come unstuck?

Fastrax and Schumacher tyres stick like rocking horse poo :cry:

Any idea's????

I watched an associated vid on tips and the one on glueing on tyres the bloke from AE recomended wipeing the tyres with motor cleaner first.
Ive noticed a powdery shite on those ballistic tyres before now maybe it will get that of??

as already mentioned wipe the tire with brake cleaner were the tire meets the rims

Also just make sure there is no excess rubber around the rim from the moulding

All tyres and rims are clean, just like the Schu ones.... will try the brake cleaner...

Wipe the tyres with motor cleaner or windex first and make sure the wheel beads are clean aswell

Id reccomend using Take-off thin glue. It's about £7 a bottle, but well worth it!

Pm Belsten / Nuclear RC on here and buy some glue off him, it's brilliant stuff and VERY well priced. I have had no trouble since switching to nuclear glue, even glueing Ballistic pinks or Proline M3 straight from the pack to very well used wheels!

Whilst your there get some of the greases too, large quantity and amazing quality. The diff grease is excellent but it's the thrust grease that is stunning, easily the best I've ever used. Diffs seem to last longer and run smoother, just rebuilt my 2wd diff with the stuff last night ... last time was just before Petit in Jan!
