after the hollidays (cant say the "C" word or i might get *****ed at

) i plan on buying some new stuff for my trail rig (rise of the tlt buildup in small scale). im going to try and get some moabs and these rims: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...62&FVPROFIL=++
im going to narrow them and i was wondering what the best CA gluw would be.
im only narrowing the wheels by the way, not the moabs

please help.

I have never narrowed wheels before, but if I did I would use a medium or thick CA, or use a quick epoxy.

Dynamite quick stick works good.

ILoveRCRockCrawlin · 12-14-2005, 04:58 PM

would this be good? http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXPT40&P=ML how many wheels would i be able to glue with 2oz? i need to do 8 because im doing a set for myself and possibly for someone else.

ILoveRCRockCrawlin · 12-14-2005, 06:13 PM

i want something for tower too, im a member of their "super saver club" and get discounts.

Cole82 · 12-14-2005, 06:24 PM

Yes it will.
This is the only one of the 4 that wasn't glued with ic2000 and it's the only one that broke.
Southern Wisconsin in October

They don't sell it at tower. Just about any lhs does though.

how much does it cost? im not even supposed to be buying anything right so i wanna keep the cost to a minimum. this is basically a favor for someone cause he wanted to have his crawler done by christmas and he ordered a set of wheels and they rub when turned all the way so i told him that i would do a set and they came out good that i would trade him for his set since i was going to buy the same set anyway.

A small bottle is $5 a large is $8
A small has enough too glue for 4 norrowed rims and to glue the tires on with out a problem.

ILoveRCRockCrawlin · 12-14-2005, 07:45 PM

alright thanks a lot

TwistedCreations · 12-15-2005, 06:01 AM

I use insta-flex on mine.. when you narrow wheels, just make sure that when you cut them they are nice and flat and cut straight. if not, you will have problems getting the glue to hold them. The last set of wheels I narrowed for doug, I had my cutoff wheel from my dremel in my drill press. locked it into place and began cutting. just spin the rim around and you have a nice straight cut. glue them back together and with the extra that is left over, put it over the area you cut and glue it in place( after you make a cut in it, so you can place it around the rim). I then use zip-ties to hold it all in place for at least 24 hrs. Dougs rims are very solid and airtight.

ILoveRCRockCrawlin · 12-15-2005, 08:37 AM

yea thats what i was going to do, put the cutoff wheel in drill press and spin it. i searched yesterday and read about that trick. thanks guys.

ILoveRCRockCrawlin · 12-15-2005, 08:41 AM

hey twisted can you get me a link to the insta-flex? does tower have? if so can you get me the part number

TwistedCreations · 12-15-2005, 10:10 AM

I have no idea if tower carries it or not, I got it at my LHS.. here is a link i found on Google for it though http://gallery.bcentral.com/GID50454...IN-STOCK-.aspx

this is the company that makes it and IC-2000 and other CA glues... http://www.bsiadhesives.com/index.html contact them and found out if anyone near you sells it

the insta-flex + is what i use.. scroll down and you will see it..(pink bottle

) http://www.bsiadhesives.com/Pages/hobby/ca.html

ILoveRCRockCrawlin · 12-15-2005, 01:28 PM

well apprently tower doesnt have it. im going to search tower for something similar. and if they dont have iti will call my LHS later and see if they have it but i would prefer ordering from tower bacause it would be cheaper and my LHS is about 15 mins away and my parents hate going there for some reason.
