Newbie has a tire question...?

[rcripper]

When I'm looking at tires it says premounted and like just normal. does premounted mean it comes with wheels, with foam, or both? and if i just go with like normal tires does that come with foam for me to put wheels on?

You generally have 3 components in a tire setup.
Wheel
Foam
Tire.

You can get them all separately with the advantage being you can pick and choose each one or as a pre-mount with the advantage of not having to put it all together.

Premounts generally mean, you won't be glueing your fingers together or glueing the tire to your shirt!

What fun is that? I really like my tire shirt... My wife complains about the wheel/tire banging around in the washer though... That glue is tough!

Depending on what "tires" you buy, sometimes they come with foam, sometimes they don't. More often than not though with MT tires, I've never bought any that didn't come with foam.

what kind of glue do i use?

 

[Timmahh]

team lose thin ca tire glue works very well. but you can use just plain ole crazy glue. though i think its harder to work with and dries to fast.

also need ideas for tires for 1/8 buggy and i might be getting either a jato or a gt.. which to buy? and tires for it?

RE Fusion, best glue out there hands down, but if you're a rookie at glueing tires use the Losi Blue (medium set). Whatever you do, don't buy Pro-line glue, it's for poop. Even Pro-line team guys don't use the crap. As for buggy tires, what kind of track conditions are we talking? There's about as many tire choices for 1/8th as there is for 1/10th.

I have to get a set of bigger tires for my Nitro Sport with my 2.5 conversion. Maybe when i install bigger tires it will have a little more control. All it does is wheelie, burn out, slide sideways. Need a nice 4x4 platforn for the engine.
