I was gonna mention this too, yes water thin CA is more difficult to work with but it seeps into spaces the thicker stuff won't. Pick your poison.

Yeah, I find the thin stuff much easier to use for thick or stiff tires. Picked that up from one of our members here, can't remember who to thank tho..

More air control, better grip, purposely landed side angle to really stress the adapters and wheel materials with no failures. Steering needs more preload on the saver due to the turn in grip and weight/circumference. No sweat for an AGFRC servo.

Patience with gluing and waiting for direct shipment for max savings is your call.

I usually make a wet mess of gluing my tires...

Can't seem to control my flow all that well nor the line.. tend to wonder all over the place going around the circumference ,then I get even more nervous and spill/glob it all up and it runs down the sidewall..

Give these a try. I started using these recently. Slide one over the tip of the bottle, cut off about half (then it’s mote stable) and you have WAY better control over the amount of glue

Good idea, and find. I just used some CA glue the other day that I had bought several years ago..still liquid in the bottle!? Wow! It's for wooden chairs, super thin, flows like water. I got that $hit all over my sidewalls and rims!! Hey, it's like Frank's RedHot, I put that stuff on everything!!
I REALLY don't care how it looks, as long as it performs. So far, so good. I gotta look at the bottle again, I forgot what the brand is. Might just be my new tire glue.

I know this is a Ali wheel thread but I thought I’d share my recent experience. I used bobs for the first time last night. It was easy to use and the tip was and long and skinny enough to get in there good.. The glue seems to dry just slow enough to make sure things are in place. Something I didn’t expect was the glue is black to match tires lol. Also I have learned that using rubbing alcohol to clean excess causes the white discoloration. The smaller new tire was being mounted on a used rim, also a new for me.

Ordered. Thanks.

It just amazes me that I can have a product shipped from across the world for $3 total, regardless of what the product is.

I use an abrasive nylon polishing wheel(scouring pad) in a Dremel to clean up any residue and excess that has dried.

Nice!! Look good and clean. I've used the ic2000, good stuff. After I finished off the bottle I've gone back to whatever I find at Dollar General for a buck. Works.. Wow, Duratrax tires that need regluing? Crazy, never experienced that Same for the Savage tires, factory glue job on those is pretty lame..the ic2000 worked so good on those the sidewall is tearing while the bead is still holding strong.. which is why I'm not sure I want to buy the ic2000 again.. think I'd rather reglue than loose the sidewall? IDK, jury still out on that for me.

Enjoying these, destroyed some gears on my vorteks but better grip than stock and aren’t wearing too quick. Came glued https://a.aliexpress.com/_mM5yol4

They look like duratrax six packs

I can kinda see that in the tread pattern. Or smaller profile backflip/motocross

 

[Lil Dylan]

The backflips that have been linked: are these similar to the 4s or 6s arrmas?

 

[Garcbomber]

152mm RC JUN backflips are officially better sidewall/tread thickness than Arrma. Same rubber as the 170mm version, time to get sticky!

Sorry didn’t see this, the 152mm are 4S and 170mm are 6S size replicas.

Just finished up gluing these. First time trying to glue myself and we'll see how they came out this weekend. Pretty sure these are pro line knockoffs or even some kind of pro line product that didn't make the quality cut? The center caps all have this crappy finish. Appears to only be cosmetic to me.

Wheels above

 

[RetroThutmose]

So far they are doing it for me in the looks dept.
Was hoping these would last longer on pavement than the stock tires and I'd like to try them on a track if I don't ruin them before getting out there. You can see they are a little taller and a little narrower than stock.

Now I wish I had a steady hand or stencil to put some lettering on the tires.

 

[LEGOBRIX]

I also ordered those. Only a different tire. Curious how they are and handling under the senton...

those look pretty cool, i was interested in them too but didn't want to buy two sets from the same company before testing one of them out. If the wheels and tires i got turn out okay i might get those too.
