Tires

hey i was wondering whats the best way to remove glued tires from the rim?...i heard you can take a cookie sheet and place all the wheels on the cookie sheet and throw them in the oven at about 250 degrees for a few min. to soften the glue for it to break. but i havnt tried that yet, i mite end up gettin a huge pile of melted wheels if i do that. any suggestions?

just do a few donuts and ballon the fuck outta ur tires and they come off the rimm pretty good, thats what i did on my t-maxx.lol

i heard about the oven too and i thought the same thing.

yea i would do the same thing and balloon the shit out of them...except im trying to save the tire cuz its still good. im just wanting to put new foam inserts in em cuz the others in them are bad for some reason. but idk how to get the tire off the rim without destroying it or cutting it off. i mite end up trying the oven anyways lol

boiling the tires in an old pot here is the site I found how to do this...an it works

awesome! i think i'll give the boiling pot a try!...thanx a bunch! oh yea another thing...i know this isnt about tires or wheels or anything. but i have a jato with a TRX 3.3 engine. and just for reference cuz i noticed when it comes to upgrading or buying parts one needs to know this. but what does the 3.3 stand for?...is that in cc?...i noticed some ppl ask or one needs to know the other size it has too like some ppl say they hav a .21 engine, and i have no idea what size that is compared to my 3.3 engine or even what .21 means. how does one convert from one size to the other?...or do u?

chexk out traxxas.com
this should help. I do know that 3.3 is the largest so far for 1/10 scale trucks or cars, way fast

a 3.3 is a .20 the 3.3 is how many cc it is.

and .21 isnt the biggest.....axial makes some .32's but the trx is guna be better if your racing. it has the right amount of speed and power

ok thanx!...i even got the formula to convert cc's to ci's and vise versa now lol and oh yea i tried boiling the tires today and it works...thats if one doesnt have to much glue with the rim and tire. parts of the tire and rim seperated and some of it didnt so i had to cut about half the tire off. hopefully i can still use it.
