40 series tires for Revo?

Lincpimp, fiberglass yes, resin no.

I used to work for a realy cool old guy who loved to use his truck as a bird dog of sorts, he would put it into 4wd/low and let it idle along in 1st gear. As it scared out the quail, he would hunt them.

He never got flat tires though the truck would return to the shop with huge sticks and cactus poking out of them. I pulled the debris from the tires for months before he let me onto how he was doing it.

He would run standard mud/snow tires, add a layer of rubber cement, add a layer of fiberglass resin to the still wet cement, then let it dry. Another layer of rubber cement and let it dry. Finish off with a tube at 15 p.s.i. and no flats.

When a stick would puncture the tire, it would hit the fiberglass, turn sideways and never puncture the tube.

I have yet to try the fiberglass/rubber cement on an RC tire yet, but it seems like it would carry over. Just clean out the "mold release agent" from the inside of the tire before you stick anything in there (even packing tape, which I have tried).

If your tires are already glued on just stick them in your oven on a metal cookie tray for 350-400F for 20-30 minutes. Grab some really thick gloves and just take the tire off the rim, when the glue is melted they come off super easy. It will stink in your house for a 1/2 hour after you open the oven but it works great and saves lots of $$$$$

For killing the balloning this will work on any tire. Turn your tire inside out, scrub down the inside of the tire with rubbing alchol and then tape the inside of the tire with duct tape and make sure you overlap the duct tap by at least 1-2" inches. = Balloning permantly done!
