Im just on doing some now, I've already cut the tires off and taken foams out so there is just a bit of tire left around the beed.....

Cheers

With my Kyosho/Durango wheels it seems OK as long as you change the acetone before it gets too manky

I've checked a set what I put in yesterday and the Associated 4wd fronts are ok and look pretty newish......

The Schumacher Revlite 4wd rears have cracked in places and even some bits have cracked and fell off, so probably not worth reusing them....

Ive got loads to do of all makes of wheels so will keep an eye on them

cheers

acetone wont do this to the rims been using it for years

this is how i do it,
i leave the tyres inside a air tight containers with some acetone enough that will not touch the tyre ,leave for a couples of days and they will come out from the rims in second without effecting the tyres.
