- So I get the customers all the time that are timid to but the un-mounted tires I sell because they don't know how to strap them or don't want to mess them up! Well I finally bugged a customer enough to get him to put his method he showed me, on camera for others to see and feel more comfortable about it! I hope it helps!

I do this same method to my tires, but i also scuff the rubber surface with brillo pad, first then wipe off twice around, using 90% rubbing alchol straight out of can, flipping rag often, then use gorilla tape, and hair dryer on high setting, holding 1" away, turn tire till whole tire heats up to 160°f, works great using 3s-4s on slash 4x4's , 4092 1520kv brushless custom stretched e-maxx, and 2wd stampedes, definitely best bang for buck method, key is clean rubber and must use (gorilla tape), not duck anything tape, and heat! Best smiles per miles per hour results!!!
i am gorrilla taping my trenchers 3.8 right now and this video was done the exact right time. thank you very much & well done.
Thanks for the effort and being so thorough in the description & method. I certainly think the heat gun is the key & a great idea. Cheers 👍
Thanks, I plan on trying this when my tyres arrive in the mail. I hope they will hold up to my tyre fryer. 💨
Excellent job of "taping" your tires but strapping is done with nylon line (usually fishing line) on the outside of the tires. I will use heat next time I have to tape my tires, which I prefer to do but very hard to find tires only, not pre-glued on rims. Thanks for the info!
Holy shit it works on fish mouths. If I've ever learned a term and technique Im more impressed with, I can't remember when it was. Fish mouths.
@Darian Ibrahim Bunk. I've alerted PayPal. Scam / ripoff.
excellent video. This is smart stuff.
Hey great vid! Do you still vent tires after you attached tape?
Thnx...
Outstanding video you the man Steve
Great video, thank you!!
Yeah buddy heat gun is the way to go ! No more ballooning on 6s this is a must
Htank you. Like the heat gun!!
NICE TO KNOW 👍
Great how to 👍🏻
Wow, that’s good stuff. The inside of my Dboots backflip tires have a kind of beads in the middle although there not belted. So I guess the tape will not stick very well. Do you have a solution for that as well?
never seen the inside of them but i have had a ridge on some Imex tires that i just put the tape over and once heated with the heat gun, the adhesive is gooey and can be maneuvered a bit to take a less flat shape.. again, not sure what the bead looks like in the backflips but if you can cover it with the tape, you may be able to c over it well once heated
No Problems Computer & Hobby Thank you for the advice!
Awesome way to Strap Tires!! Thanks for Sharing This Great Tip! what Rims were those? they Look Mean!
Good info but 21 minutes?
Hard to edit these things and get them down... It was over 45 minutes of video i believe... lol I did manage to cut it in half though!
I had the a tyre on my hyper St explode on 4s and the tape flew out.
out of curiosity: why do you prefer larger rims? are they more difficult to glue?
no, easier to work with maybe but i have done this with 1/10 2.2 through larger 3.8's. I recommend for hard surfaces or driving on pavement and concrete often!
Anyone know if this method is superior to using Kevlar thread?
Joe Bran Both work. I think Kevlar is more for glued up tires that you don't want to unglue and then reglue. Also this way you don't see anything unlike using braided fishing line.
