Typhon Removing wheels for the first time.

[ManhattanRC]

Hi all,

I was just going to switch out for a new set of tires, but the wheels have been reluctant to come off.

Anybody else find it hard to remove the wheels for the first time? They don't Exactly just slide off. What's a good trick to loosen it up, without bending or breaking anything?

Thumbs on the hub, fingers around back and wiggle slowly. A "very light" sanding of the wheel where it fits over the hub, might help in the future.

Welcome to Arrma. Their wheels and pinion gear pins are about the most difficult things in the hobby to remove the first time. Especially in their 6S models. LOL.

10 seconds with a heat gun pointed at where you removed the wheel nut and they’ll pop right off. Everyone has this issue it seems like with the first set

I'll give those solutions a go. Thanks all!

Copious amounts of WD40 let sit overnight. 3 came off with that, and then I needed to add the heat gun treatment for the 4th.

Are we talking about removing the hex nut and pulling the tire off?

 

[Dutch213]

getting the damn tire off of the hex... i was literally considering getting out the band saw to wheel...talion and notorious no problem at all.. even broke a bearing in the process..

That's odd. I've had then stick a little bit nothing that a wiggle or two would take care of.

mine seemed like the wheel was actually screwed on... once i finally got the wheel to shimmy back and forth a little it still took like 10 min to actually get it over the threads...i was so mad...

You're going to ask for all of this to be replaced under warranty, right?

Classic!

One of my body pins is difficult to remove. I've emailed Horizon Hobby asking for a warranty replacement!
