I bought into it for a long time till I saw a guy at my hobby shop pull out some super glue at the track. Glue his tire up and go back out. Talked to him about it. Looked into it and he was right. Same glue.
 
Yea I'd use what sean said, or gorilla glue. Any of it is really good glue. I'd go for something that doesn't set up instantly so it gives you time to center the tire and beadlock and get it synched down.
 
I may pull the trigger on the DDM Deal of the Day aluminum spoke billets. Detroit doesn't seem to want to keep BRP's in stock and I want some wheels now. Have to decide some time tomorrow if I want to save $40 on the DDM set... http://www.davesmotors.com/DDM-SPOK...t-Losi-5ive-DBXL-Kraken-Vekta-Front-Rear.html

I was thinking about these Uber RC zero-growth tires too: http://www.davesmotors.com/UberRC-Viper-Super-Spike-Tires-for-Losi-5ive-T-DBXL-Set-of-4.html

Nobody on the planet has them in stock. What's the deal, are they at the mercy of the Chinese plants that make them or they're waiting for income tax season to get here before these companies decide to stock stuff?

The ddm billet wheels are good as wheel, just get red arrow beadlocks as well for em so the tire stays on the rim. I would ask Detroit perf. If they know when brps will be back in stock

I wanted the aluminum outer bead lock for the DDM wheels. Is that a problem or will they slip in comparison to that red one you recommended?
 
I decided against the DDM's. I'm gonna stay focused on the BRP's for now. I love the look PLUS I already got the 4 IRP hubs and inner/outer spacers... they're just sitting here waiting for USA vendors to restock them. I may just have to order the actual wheels across the pond because nobody stateside has much in stock... ?:censored:(n):unsure:?

I did today. He won’t sell the 7” to me direct because it’s a dealer exclusive. He would sell the knobbies but he said I’d get it quicker from the dealers than from him. He’s gonna reach out to both DP and Trackday get them new stock. I’ve been holdin off on my own build waiting almost 3 weeks now for my full Axis R+ stand. They sent me the stand with no plate. The plate arrives 10 days later but for a DBXL. I was heated. They’re gonna send me A 5T2.0 plate when it manufActured by the end of this week.
