| Torn Trepador sidewall.....can it be fixed?
So I was ungluing my Deadbolt wheels and tires.........all was going well until the last tire. I pulled the backside half way loose and the sidewall tore on both sides. Is there anyway to fix this? I'm so pissed right now. They WERE going on my Yeti. |

That takes me back to the tire shredding days with the Berg and Panthers. Two rips per course (5 mins) was my average. Gluing rips constantly. 6 or 8 rips per tire. Glue held up better than Panther rubber did. I think Losi had the better stuff if it's not all the same as what can be found at the local hobby shops. Then there's IC-2000. Rubberized. Black.

Thanks for all the info. I got my tire glue out and stuck it back together. Mounted them all up too can't wait to get it out now and see how it holds up.
