Hey yall just getting opinions on cyanoacrylate

[Anthony jaques]

So after much digging I've found that ca clue for rc tires Is nothing more than super glue I would like to hear your opinions but the chemistry matches only diff I can see is viscosity

Tough to beat this one. Plus it’s black, so doesn’t give you shiny smears on your tires. Many believe this to be the best tire glue available.

I've heard recommendations for locktite 480 as well

All the clear cyanoacrylate glue is the same, basically the price and applicator tips are the most important differences.

The Bob Smith glue linked above is also cyanoacrylate, but has rubber material mixed in that helps strengthen the bond with tire material and gives it a black color.

I should probably mention that my usage will be on precluded tires that have started breaking beads

I had same issue too w some duratrax that also had beadlocks & they still blew! I glued them up w the black ca & solved

I find proper preparation more important than which glue I use. I also speculate that alot of rtr glue jobs fail due to improper cleaning before gluing. I find pure acetone to be the best cleaner. It's pretty volatile, some plastics or plated wheels don't tolerate it. So might strip the plating (chrome) off some wheels. My Arrma and TRX wheels haven't had any problems with acetone baths though.
I like the thinnest glue I can use without making a mess. Seems to get into all the recessed areas better. I've actually been using Dollar General glue lately, 4 tubes for a buck!! In the dollar deals isle. Works great for me.

Hey Jimmy your arm looks a little girly. What if we sprinkle some sawdust on it before the pic? That’ll really help drive glue sales.

Acetone works great for prep. Rubbing alcohol also works, but get the 99% version, it works better than the more common 70% version.

He is absolutely correct in this statement. On another post he said something about BSI. So naturally I picked some up. Well, I glued my solid rubber tires onto the wheels. I wanted to try some drift time w/my Infraction. LOL Needless to say, that I ripped the crap out of the tires, and they held w/o any issues. This stuff from BSI works very well. Wheels and tires used were from Vipaz.

High rotation is the issue ballooning stress

High rotation is the issue ballooning stress

I don't have that issue yet I use only belted tires.GRP tires and slicks .

I will be doing a 6s runner in the next few months

As long as it doesn't leave any residue behind, should work. I've used rubbing alcohol as well with success, I just find acetone to be a stronger cleaner. I don't clean my rigs like I should either, so when I need to glue, everything is usually pretty filthy.
Edit, come to think of it, whatever rubbing alcohol I've used in the past was almost certainly the 70% variety, so the 99% would've shirley worked better
