It wont damage the foams but they will not be good to reuse....my method is for those who got new tires and or foams that want to reuse their wheels....racers been doing this for years for race wheels,we do usually toss out the foams after this method

Depending on the plastic and rubber compound, acetone can damage the componenents. I have used this method in the past,until it ruined a set of tires and wheels. Losi MRC tires and wheekls were junk after this method and Tamiya hummer wheels were very pliable I find if you just set the tires and wheels in the can elevated above the acetone, not soaking in it.The fumes will also release the CA bond with less chance of damage.

Take them out sooner than later and test to see if they are loose or being damaged.

The tires, wheels and foams were all perfectly useable after baking them. So at this point, it is faster and less destructive. I see no plus side to the acetone at this point

Your house won't smell like burnt rubber.

Also threw in a couple pieces I had from Team3Six. Not sure if the seats will stay or if I will go to the black Axial versions. Either way, it's one more piece to making it my own creation.

Big thanks to Fat Jesus for doing all the wiring on the truck!



Josh, those turned out awesome. I noticed ya took off the seatbelts. Didn't like them???
BTW, I know guys who have had them seats in the trucks for years and they clean nicely if coated in mud. they did so in my TTC truck like they were brand new.

Anyways, thanks for the Props man. I appreciate it and they do look good.

I did like them but they kept falling out. Needed to get them better attached I guess.

Harley did do a great job with this one. I really love the Orange. Its what inspired me to do my MSD Ultimate Adventure Honcho. I love da Orange.

Now if I can get josh to send me his addy so I can send him some other team3six essential bling that rig needs.

It does look cool without the roof, but to be honest it was only laziness that it wasn't on there
