| 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 Quote:

It's been hot enough here that I think I'll just leave mine out in the sun over lunch one day.

| lol, actually the new dice is smaller and more scale 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. |
