1:Whats the best tire glue? - 2:What are the best bearings?
 

Of everyone out there I think the good folks here at RCMonster would know better then anyone what is the absolute best tire glue money can buy LOL. My brushless peed keeps ripping out the glue every time I run it and It's driving me nuts. I want the rubber to rip before the glue gives LOL.

Also I'm curios who makes the best 5x11 bearings.

Links to where I can buy is also appreciated. Thanks.

Pro-line thick CA tire glue is one of the best IMO. www.towerhobbies.com has them, just search "tire glue" . As for bearings, you can just look for that size on tower, the best would be any type of ceramic bearing.

The only ceramic bearings I see on tower are the Acer Racing Ceramic Nitride bearings, and they are ridiculously expensive

You can't beat the $1 revolutions from http://www.avidrc.com/

Ive heard great things about the acer, they do come with a hefty price, though. Great site CCristo!

Wow a buck a piece, not bad at all. Bummer they don't cary ceramic bearings too.

ACER bearing are the best bearings IMO you can get a full set of sealed bearing kit for the maxx (and pretty much other truck)on full force for 32 bucks, HERE is a link. As for tire glue proline medium blend for a strong hold also for the best results sand the rim of the tire to rough it up do this as well for the part of the rim where the glue lays also clean the tire with soap and water as for the wheels. Lastly put rubber bands around the tire while gluing for a solid glue hold. Another tip if you turn the tire inside out and put tape around the reversed tire (which is normally the inside of the tire) This will make the tire not balloon as much and in turn not put as much stress on the glue because when the tires balloon it pulls on the glue in an outward force much like the thing the train the astronauts in (spinning thing used to imitate G forces) when they get ready for tape. These tips are also found in the proline tips section of some RC magazines and there free pamphlets they give put at the auto shows. Here is a link of a video of how much tire taping really works click on the first vid and then the second one. Glad i could help.

Serum edited that picture of his Savage :p.

Yeah i was wondering it looked to big and awkward

Lol...He really didn't. It was kind of a joke (you would have got it if you had been here as long as I have) because a while back (on another forum) somebody argued with him that he edited that picture. He said the details were to good for it to be a action shot. If you look close, you can read the writing on the tire as well as see the teeth on the pinion...Needless to say, that guy pissed Serum off.

Yeah i did see the treads lined up and the writing was good but because your are knowledgeable i believed you but yeah i am kind of new here but i am here to stay. LOL funny anyway

Oh I love that idea of using tape to keep the tires from swelling. What kind of tape would you use? The fibers in duct-tape seem like it would do a great job of not stretching. I'm going to order a new set of tires & wheels right now because I can't wait to give this a try!!!

yeah any tape should work i think duck tape should work the full force bearings are awsem try them out glad i can help also not the gluing tips i listed above all this together(gluing tips, taping the tires, and proline glue) should solve your problem.

You could also try these bearings.

From what I have read the Teflon seals are about as good as rubber but have less resistance. I am useing these in one of my maxx trucks.

Those Dura Trax bearings are what I've been using and they blow out easily. I bought some ceramic bearings from my LHS the other day and they have been just amazing, not one of them blown out yet even after many high jumps. I have no idea what brand they are, just that they are ceramic and have green rubber seals. My LHS ripped me $5 a bearing so I don't plan on buying any more bearings from them.

Question for GorillaMaxx360: That fullforce site you linked, what kind of bearings are they selling? Are they ceramic?
