Hopefully this helps someone in this great RC hobby of ours! Please note, this is just my personal way of gluing RC tires that I know works very well. I've been racing RC and gluing tires since the 80's and never had a tire come off a set of tires that I prepped and glued. Thank you all very much for watching! I appreciate the support! Just a side note.. if I ever glue a set of tires for a shelf model, I wouldn't use that much glue if any at all!

Please What is the off set of VP pro tires for Taking SCT sl?

@in4bliss 9 ай бұрын

I'm not sure exactly what the offset is but it's the same as the Tekno RC SCT wheel. If you can find out the offset of the Tekno wheel, that will be the offset.

Hi, I’m facing some issues with gripz on my tekno SCT410.3, the interior of the wheel hit the HEX… do you face it as well?

@in4bliss 11 ай бұрын

Hmm, I'm not having any issues with anything touching inside the wheel. I'm not sure what you mean about the HEX? The hex part normally keys into the wheel. What wheels are you using? I've used some wheels in the past that had fins on the interior that would rub against the wheel hub and ball ends. The SCT wheels from Dialed-RC Hobbies should fit perfectly on the 410.3 or the 410SL as I've used them on both. They have the same offset as the Tekno SCT wheels.

Too bad we can’t buy wheels or tires from dialed to support you. Very odd site and nothing for sct’s

Yeah, there was a recent change for 2024. The owner is not longer selling VP-Pro (just left over). He created his own tire line and it's made in the USA but so far only 1/8 buggy and I think 1/8 truggy coming soon. I appreciate you watching though. I'll get more content up soon :)
