You do not have to submerge the wheels, just put your wheels in a sealable container, pour some acetone in a small container and set that in your big container, no spills, no mess, no touching it. Seal it up and come back a couple days later and just the fumes have done the work. I have a container that is more the twice the size of your new one and I put about 10 sets of wheels inside at a time and come back a week later and done!

@PatrickEriksson 5 лет назад

A little tip here is to use a spaghetti jar (the type with a lid) instead of the tupper ware style container. I stack my wheels on a long bolt with a washer at the end and sink into into the acetone filled spaghetti jar and close the lid. Once I got the rubber off I put the wheels in the dishwasher.

@FastGT94 5 лет назад

Great video!! I found you can save on acetone by just puddling some in the bottom of the container and sealing it. Takes a good day or so but the fumes alone will eat away at the CA Glue.

@banjoclark4675 2 года назад

I have been putting the wheels on a baking tray. Set oven to 325 and when it’s preheated shut it off and put them in there for like 10-15 min. Wear oven mitts and you can usually just pop the tires right off.

@jeremykojima4559 5 лет назад

Can I add a couple things I've learned: 1) this is a great reason to punch your hole on the sidewall, makes it easy to cut off the tire. 2) fumes work too, especially if you want to rescue a good tire from a bad rim, but watch carefully for runny glue residue that can ruin the tire or foam. 3) good idea to wash the rim after with soap and water

@Commander_ZiN Год назад

Would a hair dryer or hot air gun loosen the glue and help you remove a good tyre?

@mine6312 2 года назад

Yea the fumes alone from the acetone will dissolve the glue nicely no need to be fully submerged

@LegendsPizzaCo 2 месяца назад

I had actually glued my directional front wheels on the wrong way. I used a sealed Tupperware container, acetone, and a metal cookie cutter. I filled the Tupperware with a layer of acetone. Placed the cookie cutter in the liquid. Then placed my tire and wheel on the cutter so it's not actually in the liquid. Left it sealed overnight and came back and my tire came off and allowed me to flip it the right way and reglue it

@besidetherace 5 лет назад

Hai Ryan, i've heard of another technique that's a little more "gentle"; on the rims. Basically similar to your technique, but here in our area the drivers put the tires in an airtight container on a grid. You're filling a deposit of acetone. The vapours are sufficient to loosen the adhesive of the rubber without washing the plasticizers out of the rims. According to the drivers, within 24 hours. Best regards Bernd alias "Beside the Race"

I like doing the toaster oven method outside of course to reuse the wheels . Main reason is for the most part it leaves just the used glue and very little rubber left over on them. Downside is the inserts will ethier be shot or be fine.

@dylanchadderton1 5 лет назад

I've been racing for 2 years and haven't bought a set of wheels in over 18 months. Some of the wheels i have (10th scale yellow JConcepts JCO3348Y/JCO3376Y) have more than 15, 20 cycles or more on them. They have not degraded or softened, I've checked against new wheels. The only time i throw a wheel out is if (1) the hex is damaged/stripped, (2) the wheels is cracked or broken in some way, or (3) the wheel has excessive wear and doesn't look "newish" any more. I use a two-step acetone method. The first is cutting the tires and placing them in a bucket with acetone (and since it's been resused so many times it's full of dirt/sludge. The rubber comes off but the wheel looks pretty gross and has some glue on it still. The 2nd step is to place the wheels in a (2 at a time for rear/ 4 at a time for front) in a Talenti container (I have 6 of them) with clear/newer acetone to get the remaining glue, dirt, sludge off. They come out looking brand new and ready to use.

@mikep.4678 4 года назад

Hey Ryan, very helpful video! Question, will the Acetone over 24 also remove scuff marks on the outside of the wheel? Thanks 🙏

@JFlyer1973 4 года назад

Hey Ryan! A year late to the party but this was a great tutorial. So question about tires... if you know you need slicks for racing on clay would it also be a good idea to use those tires to sand down and repurpose them as slicks? I know this probably depends on whether or not the softness of those particular tires are good for running as slicks. Just wondering if you ever would run into a situation where you had a tire that is a good compound to run on clay if it was a slick and so instead of scrapping it, sand it down and put it back into use. I am saving to gear up a b5m I was actually given to get my start in racing and you my friend are a big reason I got so interested in racing to begin with! Thanks again for these great videos man. Jimmy

@hauntedhobbies Год назад

@thescrubz6499 5 лет назад

@ICanDoItMyself 7 месяцев назад

This doesn't work with all plastic wheels. Mine weren't even submerged. Just in a container with the acetone separate and used the vapors. My wheels melted. Luckily, I didn't want to reuse them. I uploaded a short to my channel if you're curious.

@NecronNb 4 года назад

Looks like a great way to get high! What length of time would you typically expect your tires to last before replacing? Assuming indoor carpet, 2wd

@gaskelldave 4 года назад

I believe a steam cooker can be used to break down the glue in order to get the tyres off too. No chemicals required other than H2O (water). I bought one for just a few £ in a local charity/2nd hand shop.

@patrickmitrevics4 5 лет назад

where im at we like to race 1/8 in the winter indoor. that being said it gets cold and wheels can just break. best way iv found is get some gloves and a heat gun and heat/pull back the bead. about 99% of the time it will let you reuse the tire and wheel if need be. may need a sander but not always

@HarnessRacingGod 5 лет назад

i use the most cylindrical tub i can find,,, this way you maximise the coverage for a lot of wheels.., also instead of glove just pull them out with pliers... also leave a little bit of a larger ring on the bead to make it easier to pull the ring of rubber off

@-jmg001- 5 лет назад

The acetone vapours also dissolve the glue, so no need to submerge the wheels. I just use a tiny bit of acetone.

@mikeylama 4 года назад

I know, old video, BUT!! you don't have to submerge the wheels into acetone, in fact, that does no food to the plastic(could make it brittle). The vapours of the acetone is plenty enough, that is how I take my wheels apart. 2-3 days of chilling OVER some acetone in a closed container, and the tires comes off very easily, and there is no need to put anything into the acetone. Give it a shot.

@dronepro7316 4 года назад

Norbert Havacs how do you keep the wheels over not in the acetone?

@mikeylama 4 года назад

@@dronepro7316 I put in some stainless steel spacers, that elevate the wheels from the solution. You can use practically any material, that is resistant against the acetone, like old porcelain mug, whatever, just to keep the wheels above.

It's a bit late but i used to boil the wheels. Boiling water makes the gleu hard and brittle. After 5 minutes ore so you can break the tires of the wheels.

@bmacd 5 лет назад

Ryan, as soon as you remove the rims from the acetone. Dip/dunk the rim in warm soapy water and it will stop the staining (Yellowing) on the rims..

@NordicRC 5 лет назад

You really are a master of these how-to videos. Such a good job, explaining, showing, and editing. Off topic question: Most of my affordable fun-to-run non-race-spec 4WD buggies (like the Tamiya DF-02/03, TT-02B, DB-02 etc.) come with wider rear tires/wheels. Is it normal with race-spec-buggies that they have the same front/rear wheels/tires? And why this difference, when comparing race buggies to entry-level bashers?

@samuelruben8726 5 лет назад

No dude. Most 1/10 scale buggy have wider rear wheel/tire. not only the fun to race one but for the pro kit for racing aswell. But for 8th scale buggy they do have the same size front an d rear

I imagine you rinsed the rims off with water afterwards. Have you thought of filtering out the debris after use, using painters filters to clarify the acetone?

@NaughtyGoatFarm 2 года назад

Do you need to choose a container made out of a certain type of plastic so the acetone doesn't eat the plastic?

@tylerbuhrmester6090 5 лет назад

After all the rubber is off of the rim. Do we have to do anything else to the rim before glueing up a new set of tires?

@shaglioni 2 года назад

After letting them soak for a couple of days, do you need to rinse off the rims of the acetone or just wipe it down with a papertowel ? I read online that the properties of acetone would just evaporate and no rinsing is needed for removal of acetone from surfaces but wanted to ask anyway. Thank you.

This method destroys foam and sometimes plastic rim. I like using heat gun method, takes only a few minutes, you can do it outside, not making bad smells by baking in oven. You can find video on YT about it.

@turtletrading4207 2 года назад

The acetone ate through the test rim I used (Volante rim for a touring car). Good thing I tested only one. I'll try a rim from different brand but I was kinda surprised from that result. The rim turned into a white mush. Anyways, the savings are there but not exceptional. A full set of brand new tires costs around 30 bucks. A set of 4 tires (tires only) costs about 20 bucks. It is not bad but I am not sure if it is worth the hassle.
