What's the best way to repair a small rip in the middle of an RC tire?

Low power, lightweight car. Non-drive wheel.

Thanks.
 
If its small maybe tyre glue. Other than that IDK.

I have extended the life on numerous tires with small rips by using regular superglue or rubberized superglue like below. Doesn’t extend their life forever…eventually they will finally go. But you can get them to hold up long enough to get new ones in. You know, being a low power light weight car you might get it to last quite a while.

Never used it but in Rich Duperdash video this is what he uses and used in the field on one of his videos.

You’re welcome bud. It’s the red dirt in the picture you posted that clicked my memory. For some reason I have no clue of, I love watching his videos partially because of that amazing red dirt 🤣 I’ve always wondered where he lives. One of those red brick making states I guess.

This stuff is the best option and of all the CA that I have tried it has held up the best long term. I have tires that I glued on almost 5 years ago that are still held down like the day I glued them on.

Either you or SRC told me about it and I appreciate that! It does work very well. I haven’t used it to glue tires on yet from new, just to reinforce and reglue. Very nice.
