| 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. Anyone have any success getting their's off? I was thinking of trying the acetone method next, but figured I'd check here first. |

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. |

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

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!

Cooking works. With mine 10 mins was enough. Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk |

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 |

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! |

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. Last edited by mewalsh100; 01-07-2019 at 05:32 AM. | |

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.

Success! Boiled them this morning for about 25 minutes and they popped right off super clean!

GrimmTheTourist - it worked perfectly. There was hardly any glue residue remaining on the tires! Not to mention, it was totally FREE!

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

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? |
