Any luck getting Canyon Trails off RTR Rims? I've got a spare set of alloy beadlocks laying around. I was going to throw the Canyon Trail tires on them just to have another set to swap to. I tried the baking method this morning. I did 250 degrees for 20 mins. Glue did not budge. At all. Not in the least.:lmao: Anyone have any success getting their's off? I was thinking of trying the acetone method next, but figured I'd check here first."thumbsup" |
Re: Any luck getting Canyon Trails off RTR Rims? I cooked the wheels in water for about 40 min. Just watch out, they get soaked with the hot water so use a towel when pressing the water out. After that I could take the tires off. I still had to remove glue from the bead, but with a spoon and some patience it worked. |
Re: Any luck getting Canyon Trails off RTR Rims? I used acetone vapor method but it took 5 days of checking and working them once a day. In the end I ripped one of five |
Re: Any luck getting Canyon Trails off RTR Rims? Thanks guys. I think i'll try boiling first so I don't have to buy acetone. Acetone was going to be my next move, but boiling water is FREE! |

Re: Any luck getting Canyon Trails off RTR Rims? Cooking works. With mine 10 mins was enough. Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk |
Re: Any luck getting Canyon Trails off RTR Rims? I also used a heat gun. Very quick to work, but it's not perfect as removing glue residue so a little more work needed to be done. But I've successfully mounted them to metal beadlocks, so I'm good. Sent from my SM-N950W using Tapatalk |
Re: Any luck getting Canyon Trails off RTR Rims? Baking them yielded me zero results. I figured for sure 250 degrees for 20 mins I'd be good. Nada. I also tried the hair dryer (not heat gun) method right after baking them. Just zero give in the glue. I'm going to give boiling a go and see what that gets me. If that doesn't work, I'll try heat gun. I must have gotten the best glued tires Traxxas ever made! :lmao: |
Re: Any luck getting Canyon Trails off RTR Rims? Just for the record, a hair dryer is NOT a heat gun. I also used the heat gun method. |

I just used the hair dryer to try and keep the heat in them from coming out of the oven whilst I worked at the bead/glue. |
Re: Any luck getting Canyon Trails off RTR Rims? I just have a cheapo Harbor Freight heat gun and I can't believe how much I use it for R/C stuff lol, shrink tubing, tires, bending plastic etc. |

No, but a heat gun is an assault hair dryer |

Re: Any luck getting Canyon Trails off RTR Rims? Success! Boiled them this morning for about 25 minutes and they popped right off super clean! |
Re: Any luck getting Canyon Trails off RTR Rims? Great! Glad it worked. |
Re: Any luck getting Canyon Trails off RTR Rims? GrimmTheTourist - it worked perfectly. There was hardly any glue residue remaining on the tires! Not to mention, it was totally FREE! |

Re: Any luck getting Canyon Trails off RTR Rims? With the tire mod I think they are really close to the performance of Hryax in dirt. We don't have any huge rock area's local so I can't say how good they are there |
Re: Any luck getting Canyon Trails off RTR Rims? I am classically impatient... I carefully ran an exacto along the edge of the rim gently making several passes while peeling the tire back. Totally reusable and just a tiny bit of rubber on the (bronco) wheels. Ironically I'm not using either. *shrug* good spares for... Something? |
Re: Any luck getting Canyon Trails off RTR Rims? I tried cooking after 1h in Boiling water i get 1 tire off. Next try was aceton no luck even after 1h bathing. After getting a heat gun next try ... and finally after 20 min all 4 tires now off the rims. Heureka [emoji106] Best method but don't forget to wear gloves .....
