A quick tip on mounting drift tires

[@fredbradick8404]

how long do you put the tired in the boiling water for

[@scalefreakgaming]

Just a few minutes. It's plastic, it will expand pretty quick.

[@Mr_jz_12]

Been using this technique for a while. I usually slap them in the freezer afterwards.

[@lykos30]

Can you put road tires in this drift rim?? And when you choose the offset you want you have to glue it in the position you choose???

[@scalefreakgaming]

I’m fairly sure most of the tires are a general size. If I remember correctly, some of the on road guys tried to put these tires on their race kits for other wheel options, But they aren’t made for that...so I wouldn’t recommend. You COULD glue them once you get the offset. But I just used a touch of electrical tape since it’s a clearance fit. Nothing ever moved. Even if I slammed into something,.

Awesome tip man, thanks

[@scalefreakgaming]

I hope it helps you

[@callumlee982]

@@scalefreakgaming yah, worked a treat for getting them on 👍

[@dusty_five_2]

Just use an mst tire install & removal kit, avoid the hassle.

[@toasty925]

Do the wheel face hold up to the barrel without gluing them when you drift these? or do you glue them after commiting to the offset?

[@scalefreakgaming]

I put small piece of electrical tape in them and it held

Thank you for watching

[@powcar91]

man I had trouble mounting the tires. for my sprint two, I used the hpi tdrifts. I boiled the tires and heated them up with the hair dryer and froze the rims. my first three tires got in fine. the last one I had to glue it one, since my fingers were. damaged from all the tugging, to put the tires in. Lol I seen that there's a tire changer for dirt tires. may have to try that one out. next time I change tires.

[@Mr_jz_12]

+powcar91 There is a few different versions of those tyre changers. You dont need them though. A mate and I use the hot water method and works perfectly fine.

I hv just damaged 2 sets of Watanabe wheelsets before I watched your video. I m new to rc car. Seems I hv damaged many items as I learn to modify and hv no knowledge of electronics. It is quite a technical hobby indeed requires mechatronics knowledges

[@scalefreakgaming]

A lot of video's online to help for sure. I watch hours of video's before trying something that's hard. And I make sure I watch other people make the mistakes that I'm about to make.

[@voododd666]

Good tip

[@threemsrc6964]

Awesome!

[@leaflux_gaming5668]

I gave up on takeing them off so I cut them off

[@scalefreakgaming]

By that point, why not, right?

[@davidmclain3106]

Nice

[@dilluc]

muito bom

[@CivicWitThaCivic]

How do you demount the tiers I'm a noob at drifting

[@scalefreakgaming]

They are just slipped on and helped with a thin layer of foam, so just get some pressure on the inside of the ring and press them off
