well Ran into a slight problem building the new chassis,My lower links were contacting the inside of the tire verey bad causing it to bind up. So after somethinking I figured Id cut 15/16's " out of rim and tire,I put them on and have plenty of room and I like how they Look,Im not a fan Of WIDE tires

I have always been fearful of putting CA glue onto proline rubber. The rubber is super soft and the CA seems to penetrate and harden the rubber ALOT. Has this happened and have you had ill affects.



*DD*
(I am not saying that proline rubber is better than any other rubber, just that it is soft)

Yes its verey soft,I used about 4 coats of thin CA glue and 1 coat thick.I can grab a tire and twist it up many times with no hard spots.I had a family dinner with about 5 kids in the age range of 3 too 7,They found the tires and I cought them playing tug of war with 1 Held up great now onto the next test

Looks really good! How did you cut the tires in half? Hacksaw, dremel? Just wondering so I know when/if I need to do this kind of mod.
