Tire Warranty?

3 minutes into my first run...

That sucks. Never seen a tire do that before .
Had a tire blow out on my senton on the second run and asked for a replacement and they said ''tires are a wear item ''.
Maybe could glue it back together ?

I had a fairly new 6S Backflip tyre split on me after it pulled away from the rim. Some of the OE gluing jobs just don't hold. Contact HH and explain your situation... you might be able to get another under warranty

I'll upload the video soon. Super weak.... Very disappointed.

I'll call tomorrow!

Seen this, simply not glued. Check your tires prior to every run, try prying them out with your thumb.
If something has come unglued, fix with super thin CA.
Good luck exchanging.

I'll keep everyone posted!

I did a tire warranty once, 2nd run and a chunk came off.

5 seconds in chat with Horizon... got a new pair being sent to me!

Last flip of the video. My Gopro splits my videos and the end clip is being uploaded.

I had a granite tire rip a month after I got it (didn’t seem to be glued well) and Arrma warranted it. Sent me 2 new tires, which I really appreciated.

Another one.

Seriously though... I'm beyond irritated.

Good thing they are sending two. What a pain though. Look em over closely and re-glue once you got them.

This isn't so bad. The previous one you had with the torn tyre was worse. Some reputable CA glue is all you need Arrma mentioned tyre maintenance in the manual and advise to check them with every pack (~15 mins)

I have to dot and dab my 6S Backflips with glue every 5 packs or so, but I literally check them with every diff-out (i.e. self-righting or full send flips), or at least at the end of every pack

Thanks for pointing that out! I saw it in the manual but never actually looked to see how often to check.

No worries mate. I think it's the same advice in every Arrma manual but because of the firm compound, huge sidewall and tall diameter of the Backflip tyres, they're the most likely to pull away and tear at the rims. Still an awesome basher tyre though

Check prior every run, even when out bashing.
Use thin CA when you have signs of them loosening. A really small drop is enough if you run it around the tire.

No, I do not use CA when out bashing, I just take it slower or stop but woud be possible to do.
That little trick will safe you a bunch of money on tires.

Store your CA in a food container with some desiccant, and you can store CA for ages. Humidity dries it out and the bottle would only last 1 year or so.
