Boil, bake or acetone, no one rides for free.

Kind of rolled off the tongue.

Boil them in a pot. Bake them in a toaster oven. Or use Acetone to break down the glue.

Well how long do you boil them for ?
I tried boiling my fg mt tires one at a time for about 15-20 mins. and nothing....they came factory glued should that matter?

Acetone works best for me. Just be careful not to get too much onto the wheel itself since plastic is afraid of it.

I had to remove tires from my Losi once using the boiling method. I boiled the water, then took the pot off the stove, poured the boiling water in a bucket and dropped the wheels in. I placed something heavy on top of them so they wouldn't float. I think I soaked them for about an hour... The removal wasn't perfect, but I was able to reuse the tire when I was finished.

nup wont matter my FG ST tires were preglued and i took them off with ease .
put some cooking salt in the pot while its boiling as it will raise the boil temp a few degress and help with the process .. when i did mine i put one in at a time , each side for 20 mins [per side] making sure the water was boiling the whole time . then i took them out with long tongs [ be carefull not to drop them ] and put them in the sink with cold water ..

The boiling trick works good for me but mind your fingers since hot rubber on the fingertips might give you HUGE blisters .

I see largescale rc sells cryo debonder which I'd think is maybe acetone, I'm not sure if it's any good though having never used it. Be interested if it works though
