Reuse tire

10 minutes and then check. Flip over for another 5, check. Rinse and repeat until the bead breaks. 200 degrees isn't hot enough. Trust me.

Got it in now at 265. Figured I would split the difference. If i put it in for a while and it doesn’t seem hot enough I will bump it to 300. Thanks Bam!

No problem ?? If you used 200 degree you have to leave it in there for the summer ?

I already got impatient and moved it to 300F
And the tire is off. 300F about 10 min flip for another 10 and left for another 5 because one spot seemed tough. That's it, old junk rim is out and the tire is still in perfect shape! Thanks to everyone who gave me their input. Might be a good time to ask what everyone likes for tire glue too.?.?

That's what I'm talking about. Nothing melted, right? 300 isn't *that* hot. Not sure why people thought it would turn into a puddle of plastic and rubber ?

Nope not melted at all. Tire and foam are still in great condition. Really appreciate the advice

While the wheels on most rtrs will not melt at 300*, wheels for 1/10 buggies and stadium trucks can. These were Team Associated RC10B4.1 wheels that I tried to dye, 5 minutes in boiling water did that
I'm not saying that anyone is right or anyone is wrong you just need to use caution is all. And yrmv.

I didn't realize he was baking off 1/10 buggy wheels ?‍ Looks like he dodged a bullet.

Oh I didn't know what wheels he was doing. I've seen some wheels get eaten doing the Acetone method as well.

If he used 200 degrees, he'd still have them in the oven. He used 300 like I suggested and it worked for him. I'm not saying anybody is right or wrong, but I'm right ?

Rims came in along with a 17T pinion. He is really happy with how it’s running and so am I. I have a 4s slipper coming and a 20T as well. I know what everyone says about these input gear coming apart but so far so good. Knock on wood!!

Yeah.

I was just tossing that out there for users to be careful when doing any of the aforementioned methods as you do run the risk of ruining the wheel and or tire if you are not careful.
