| Wheels for Yeti
I currently have the .225 and .725 Vanquish hubs on axial 12mm hexes. Im wanting some new wheels that will keep the tires on them without glue. I also want to keep the stock track width. Im looking for recommendations on wheels.

Why are you against glue on? The weight lost by using a plastic wheel that glues on is amazing in how the Yeti accelerates and handles.

Some of us don't like gluing 30$ a pair tires,25$ a pair foams and 12$ wheels up. Once it's on there, it's ON there!

Bob Smith Industries makes a De-Bonder that truly works. CI sells it and many RCC members have proven it works. I've used it myself to un-glue one side of the wheel / tire to change out foams. No issues. ..Uploaded from the lab @ the C.I. Compound... | |
