SAVE A FORTUNE! RC CAR TYRE HACK. 

big tip thanks subscribed

So a PRO tip for your bins. Put a layer of River rock down to create a layer to keep the wheels out of the acetone. The plastic will break down and become damaged over time. Its only the vapors thats doing the work. I use coffee tins with LAVA rock on the bottom due to the pores it airs out better. Just a tip. Gloves are KEY TOO. Cheers form the States!!

I used to use sandpaper to clean up the rest of the glue. 1000 grit wet sanding with a light touch. Great video.

I’m fully new to rc racing.. I’m running a nitro truggy and I was blown away that the hobby shop guy said we all just throw our wheels away. When here in Canada there 45 bucks a set.. thanks for this tip I’m going to buy another set of wheels today and rotate them 👍🏻👍🏻

Good to know you don’t have to sink them. I always used a gallon paint can almost full and made sure they were completely covered. Been doing it for years. Great video!!

I never throw ANYTHING away.! 😉 I've got bags & boxes full of tyres, rims & other bits & bobs.! Btw.. DON'T FORGET ABOUT TYRES IN ACETONE.!! I once left 4 wheels/tyres in a box with acetone for about 5 days before I remembered... When I opened it up there were 4 tyres sitting above a pool of white putty like sludge... 😂 😂 😂 It was weird stuff, it would set as hard as the original plastic once the acetone evaporated away.! I wonder if it would be any good for making plastic repairs.? I always put my wheels on top of something metal to keep them out of the acetone, it lets the fumes get in everywhere & protects the rims. I'm using the metal rings from the inside of a set of crawler beadlock wheels atm. SUBBED & LIKED & BEST WISHES FROM SCOTLAND 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🙏 ❤️ 📻 🕹️ 🔋 🚗 🚖 🚕 🚔 🚚 🚙 🚘 🚓 🚒 🚑 🚐 🚎 🚤 🚁 🛩️ 👍 👍 👍

I’ll save my wheels this way but not the insert. Tires come with them

Tried this a while ago. Hung them in a breakfast series container as its the vapours that do the work. The acetone In the bottom reacted with the plastic. Melted the base, and because I'd left it on a window sill, destroyed the paint underneath. Not done it since..

You should use some gloves when working with acetone. Even the smallest cut will sting bad.
