Foams? To glue or not to glue?

[charliejp]

I just got my new Nightmares today. I remember reading that you should glue the foams to the rim before mounting the tire? Ill be mounting the tires using the stock HPI foams. I'm sure soon Ill upgrade both wheels and foams.

I wouldn't glue them instead wrap a layer of duct tape around them.

What exactly does the duc tape do? I understand the glue.

Use a hair dryer to heat up the glue after installation. That will help is be stuck real good!

Got her did. Waiting on my silicone to dry now. When I pulled off the old ones, I swear half the desert was in them! lol I read a good write up on tire installation and followed it to a t. I'm looking forward to seeing how well these Nightmares hook up in the sand, dirt/desert floor.
