HOW TO - The Best Way to Remove RC Tires

[@jimevans1809]

You don’t need to submerge. Just the fumes in a container with the tire with deactivate the tire glue. It may take a bit longer. I buy my acetone at the hardware store in 1 litre or 4 litre cans. Pour some into the bottom of an empty paint can (also cheap at Home Depot)and place a spacer, usually an old rim in the bottom. You can chuck 4 short course size tires in and they be good to go in 24 hrs.

[@monkeytrident]

Does this work on glue that has been on the tires and rims for years, I just want the rims ?

[@josephybarra3555]

Can you reuse the tire ? I popped the foam in my drag wheel and if I could remove the tire and put a new foam I would like to use it again. Will the fumes make the tire go bad?

[@longcrawler]

my question, can the tires, if new, be reused in Bead Locks

[@andrewmusgrave4295]

Do u think it makes the tire coming off weaker? Or hurt it bc I need to take off some good tires off bad wheels.

[@chriscraft77022]

im not putting no damn tires in my oven!!!! im doing this now.. thank you so much

[@ConditionZero76]

Nice vid but who has 8 hrs Bro plus acetone destroys foams (stretches them beyond repair) ....... Heat oven to 350 degrees once temperatures reached install as many tires as you want or your oven holds 😂 once installed immediately turn oven off, set timer for 5-7 minutes, once timer goes off remove tires & with a towell or gloves simply push tires of the wheels...its that easy...

[@aei711]

does this work with powder coated aluminum rim? I have a set of 5th scale wheels and the tires are bad already.

[@Youworstnightmare77]

bla bla bla bla bla fking bla just do whatever you fkg want a d don't talk to may 💩💩 the guy just give a tip of how to unglued the tires but you Mr know everything talk just only 💩💩💩 .......just 🤐 🤡

[@pitbullrcltd6252]

Gr8 tire hack my friend…… now I can do a good job on my old tires….. Re-using the rims will be a lot cheaper in general….. Thank You ☮️~~~~out!👍🏻😎

[@moe20302030]

What if the wheel has sponge or foam between the tire and the rim ? The acetone will damage that fill , right ? So what would be the alternative?

[@Sam-nz2zs]

I would like to know this too

[@IzziedeD]

if not reusing the tire, make a slash across it a couple places, the acetone will drain out before unmounting

[@btgmlk1]

Only advice I have, cut the old tires off so there's just a strip of the side wall left then soak them. No wasted acetone

[@kgrc0078]

Great idea I like it! 👍🏼 thank you!

[@TurboTheTerrier]

​@KGRC 007 I do that exact same because I use foam inserts for dirt oval racing and don't like gettin em wet

[@erikamatel1850]

will it destroy the rubber tires?

[@erikamatel1850]

because im recycling the tire.. not the rims

[@tylerbates8198]

I also have same question

[@edgarassalk2935]

the easiest way i found that worked is puttin the wheel under hot water in the sink, you dont need boiling water, just really hot water, when it's hard to hold the hand in it for more than 3sec worked for me, much easier than boiling

[@gabedavis890]

Did tgis ruin ur finnish on your wheels?

[@kgrc0078]

@gabedavis890 nope

[@gabedavis890]

@@kgrc0078 ok im tonna try this. Boiking srripped the paint off my other ones

[@tamasdohy1146]

Doesnt it eat the plastic??? I seen a video where iacetone ate lego completly desolving it

[@dover1966]

Works with crazy glue?

[@kgrc0078]

Yes 👍🏼

[@Lil_Loki]

Will this process be safe for chrome/colour wheels?

[@kgrc0078]

I don’t think so as they are painted in. This will definitely strip the paint

[@ianklaus1797]

Does this stain white wheels?

[@doylecholesterole1927]

That's pretty simple and effective. Doesn't it weaken the plastic rim though?

[@kgrc0078]

No it doesn’t

[@sammygonzalez7627]

I removed them by leaving them soak in Acetone overnight... That simple, you place them in a plastic bowl, laid them down, fill it up with Acetone. Just enough to cover the tires, place tight lid, and by morning you'll have clean wheels 👍

[@Lil_Loki]

Will this process be safe for chrome/colour wheels?

[@DerekRC]

@@Lil_Loki no it won't. Takes the chrome right off.

[@alphaj9]

What’s a good way to do this with chrome or color wheels. I don’t want to ruin the finish

[@ConditionZero76]

oven 👆🏽 ... read my comment above or somewhere on here you'll find it ..... 👍🏼

[@travispratt6327]

I boil mine, it works good but need to let them boil till the point they just fall off easily, otherwise you’ll be ripping the tires and leaving ca behind. Takes awhile but also gets em looking like new.

[@warmfreeze]

does it eat your foams too?

[@kgrc0078]

I wouldn’t re use the foam anyway. They’d be very stretched out

[@Youworstnightmare77]

good method to remove. even though many just ask stupid questions and others just talk shit. about your method. everyone is free to use the method they want. if they don't like what you tried to do in this video. Just keep your mouth shut and don't talk, you're not going to get a fly in your mouth 🤡

[@wordreet]

Dang! I thought acetone attacked most plastics!!!

[@RandomloserDK]

Isn't there foam inserts in them? If so, doesn't acetone attack the foam?

[@kgrc0078]

The acetone doesn’t seem to hurt the foam. Although you’ll notice that the foams are so stretched out after use

[@codyprice0295]

@@kgrc0078 can you buy just foams?

Where is the proof?

[@damonpeters6645]

does it affect the foams? open cell. closed cell

[@kgrc0078]

I haven’t tried but I assume it would rip easily after

[@benbekemeier5545]

I've done this with open cell foams. Just carefully wring them out and let them dry. No issues at all.

[@jimmodrak9375]

😂😂😂😂😂 @ 4:29 And for the rest of the video you really made me chuckle lol Great video 👍✌

[@patricklamanna3924]

acetone reacts with alot of wheels it wrecks them

[@slappytaffy895]

how do i do it when i want the tire and not the wheel

[@kgrc0078]

Same process. I’ve reused my tires that I took out

[@theStirp]

That all nail polish remover, It's ok to touch it lol

[@TangodownNZ]

But I want to keep the tyres. Does the acetone ruin the tyres, yes I think

[@kaijastia4197]

tried this on tamiya 1/10 plastic wheels, rubber tires... it melted the wheels before the tires came off.

[@Bad1flip]

Lol this same exact scenario just happened to me. Have you found a different method?

[@genekrafft948]

Does it effect chrome wheels?

[@kgrc0078]

I haven’t tried but I’m guessing it would hurt any painted wheels

[@ConditionZero76]

Absolutely destroys chrome

[@csupakabra4]

Just make sure your rims are not made from abs so you don't solve them in the acetone. I've just ruined a set of cheap chinese rims this way.

[@joegomez4408]

I've done the same and actually disintegrated the wheel

[@yankohristov2361]

My rc car came with decent tires but plastic wheels(which I don't need) and they are glued. How can I remove them so I can reuse the tires ?

This way works but I've found better ways that don't ruin the foam and make such a mess. I wouldn't call this the "best" way.

@@kgrc0078 It's a good video. I've been putting them in a 5 gallon bucket with acetone sitting in the bottom and the wheels and tires on racks. Put the lid on and let the fumes do the work. Let sit for a few days and boom.. they fall right off with no effort and no mess.

Yeah gotcha on that. Same process but on a larger scale. I just do 2 at a time. But yes the main point was using acetone 👍🏼
