tire gluing

[traxxas t-maxx]

Okay so I got my new tires today and I watched the tire gluing part of the traxxas setup video and I fallowed there exact steps using the ca glue. So after about an hour I checked them and they had some sticking but not a lot what should I do.

A few things to check would be:

1. Did you use the right glue? You want just regular, thin CA glue, or specially made tire glue.
2. Did you rough up the rims with a dremel before gluing? The plastic and rubber bond much better with roughed up edges.
3. You need to wash new tires before gluing to get rid of mold release agents. These will prevent a good hold from forming.
4. You could try putting rubber bands around the tires to help compress the glue. CA bonds better when it is compressed.

I'm sure there's more but for now I hope that helps

Okay well here is the thing they are allready glued to the rim so what should I do now?

Carefully add more glue to the areas that didn't bond tight the first time.

Allright so what I am going to do is to take the tires of the rim and use a sand block to scrap of all the the glue. Then I am going to take my dremal tool and rough up the bead of the rim, just like they told me. I will let you all know how it goes.
