baked 4 traxxas canyon tires @ 350 for 10 mins. while i worked on one, i left the other in the still warm oven. too 10 mins to get all 4 tires off rims. Great video thank you!
Boiling tires works pretty good, my method is almost as you did with your blow dryer. Let one side of the bead boil. Don’t squeeze the tire, which will cause water to be sucked into the foam. Let the water do the work, boiling from the outside. Another thing is, my wife let me use the big lobster boiling pot, that way you can boil all tires at one time . Once you get one bead unseated, flip them and throw them back in. For a set of four tires it took us about 30 minutes . No tears to the tire, no hot water scalding your face 🤣 but I’m not a “do it my way is the best way guy” whatever way you get them off to save some 💵 that’s great 😁 sharing ideas is what it’s all about . Thank you for sharing ! 👍👍
I did that too.. dont need to squeez and sunk the tire to the water like what he did its some kind of idiocy sorry for the words but yeah im right🤣😂😆 boiling wheels is the fastest and safe not to only to you and for the rubber also.
@@howardalteisen2281 will the wheels stay straight also when u boil them? Ive racing buggy so thats kinda important. I have lots of new tires and old wheels, just looking for way to re use the wheels without playing with chemicals like acetone. 😷☣️
Heatgun method; Use a heat gun in the lowest setting and start to apply heat where the rim and the tire meet until you hear the glue making a cracking sound and start dismounting the tire with caution ⚠️ (safe for plastic rims).
I was thinking the same thing. It could have been minimized down to just two methods: heat, or paint thinner/acetone. And after what his results were with the acetone, I’ll use my heat gun too.
Boiling will discolor your wheels if they are chrome and has a tendency to ruin the foams. The way I do it I wrap the wheel/tire assembly in foil like a baked potato. Preheat your oven to 300 then turn off. Place your wrapped tires in the oven for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and pop the tires off the wheels. Doesn't damage the wheels, tires or foams. Wrapping in foil helps hold the heat in as compared to just laying an open wheel/tire on a sheet of foil.
@@tonyromano6220 lol great comment theirs no way my wife will let me use the oven for my rc projects either. not even so much as a pan..I have no business in the kitchen lol
What is good about this video is the Traxxas tire that comes with the cars is a very good tire. I used a heat gun and I rotate it until the rim starts to smoke. Then I get something to poke at the edge and it comes right off. 👌🏽
Thank you!!! Money is tight rite now and my favorite basher has brand new tires and one of the wheels stripped out. I needed a way to transfer the tire to one of my old rims.. about to try the oven trick
The best Acetone method is to use a 5 gallon pail with a lid. Put the tires in the pail and in the center of the pail, put in a glass of Acetone (don't soak the tires in it). The fumes from the Acetone do a much better job than actually putting the tires in the Acetone. Leave it overnight and the next day, they come off much easier and with the least amount of damage. Though, there is glue residue on both the wheel and tire. Just need to bend the bead around and flick the glue off (if you want).
I just tested on a chrome plated wheel and the acetone destroyed the chrome. I would imagine it would do the same to chrome paint or any paint for that matter.
@@TandemCTelevision Apologies, I've only did the above method with plastic RTR wheels that weren't painted or race wheels for offroad.

I've done the baking process a couple of times and it has worked pretty good for me, on stock tires, I've never tried it on tires that I glue my self because I only glue short course truck tires and when it's time to replace them, the wheels are also pretty beat up.
I've used a bowl of water and microwave. Use about 1 quart of water. Place rim with tire and let float DO NOT SINK! Set microwave to 7 minutes let sit after it stops for 3 minutes peel off flip and repeat Did this on a set of brand new Duratrax worked perfect
I did all four of my Revo tires using the acetone method in a bucket in a few hours. Mind you I wasn't in any huge rush. The one thing I didn't like was how much the foam inside the tires soaked up. This was my 1st time ever taking tires off the rim. From a newbie beginner point of view I thought it worked great if you're not in a rush.
The acetone worked good for me but it didn't take days. I left the tires soaking in a bucket and every so often I would go out and work them loose. Had them all done in a matter of an hour, maybe. I didn't time it and was doing other RC stuff while they were soaking.
Thanks RGile, I've seen different times to completion with acetone. I think it depends on how glued the tires are. I only gave it about 30 mins (all the time I had). Thanks again!
@@TandemCTelevision Very true; this job was the Axial SCX10II Jeep JK factory wheels for my sister's truck. One was not mounted perfectly straight so instead of just regluing one wheel, I bought her the RC4WD JK wheels. Looked awesome with those Nitto tires! Also added my kit roof rack to her Jeep and it gave it a whole new look.
My 6 tyres have been soaking in 99.9% acetone for 6 weeks now and they are still stuck, I've tried the soaking method and the fumes method, i think the zap glue I use is indestructible
Oven method worked perfect for me, although I highly recommend that you do not use you home oven, lots of smoke and fumes. I used a portable toaster/ bake oven. I’ve also tried acetone, it was only slightly helpful.
I knew people that used the boiling method years ago. Although I don't know how precisely they did it, obviously you want to keep the wheel's breather hole facing down/away from you. I have some Losi Super Rock Rey tires I need to remove, thinking I'll try the heat gun method.
I have 6 or 7 cars right now and usually 2 or 3 sets of wheels and tires for each car so the acetone method works for me because I've got plenty of time to let a set of tires soak in a container that is sealed. I don't like the way the heating methods stretch the bead of the tire anyway. But a lot of people are in way too much of a rush to wait for anything....... You know what they say about instant gratification... ,.....it takes to long!!!!🙃
My favorite way, and probably the most fun, is to just put them old tires on your fastest rig, take it to the track, and drive it like you stole it. Those tires come unglued super quick. The even more reliable way to make sure the tires come unglued is to do this in the pre-qualifier on race day.
Thanks for the awesome tips! I'll personally be boiling mine. It actually seems to be the safest, most clean, and natural way for the wheels, themselves. As for personal danger, I'll just use the ole 2% rule.
I put a promoto-x tire and wheel in my hot air fryer for 10 min @ 330 F. The tire all but fell off the rim, and was not distorted! The wheel also was perfect! Just make sure to remove your bacon first!
Right🤣 I just put some tiresome my new bead locks, tried a hair dryer and a ripped a tire, lucky my gf lives close enough to a hobby shop so I got a new set
So question on that, if you have white lettering on the tire, does it remove or mess that up? It didn’t look like it was readable after any of the methods.
One of my tires had a silicone based glue and boiling it it peeled right away the other ones are done with a super glue so I'm hoping the baking works for me
I used a heat gun in the past. Faster than a hair dryer. Can cause damage to chrome finishes. I'll put thought to the oven next time. Acetone will remove chrome and from what I understand kills the foam. I'm also considering getting some acetone to do a bulk batch of tire removals where I actually cut the tire off the rim leaving behind a small ring, in order to save the foam. Those tires weren't worth saving.
Thanks for the vid, however, I'm surprised the oven method didn't harm the foam. The OEM foam in my TRX-4 tires was ruined apparently from just running my RC on the hot desert sun-baked rocks in mid-summer. I've been wanting to try aftermarket tires and duel stage foam on the aforementioned set I replaced.
Foams weren't harmed but everybody's results may differ. Best to keep a close eye on them. I'm betting those aftermarket foams will stand-up better to the heat.
I know this is old but I'm sure people still see this as new, to them lol (like me 🤣🤷♂️) I HOPE we aren't gluing Crawler tires still lol. Beadlock work so much better, look more authentic and add good low CG weight. Hell, if I could get a beadlock setup that was as light as a glued setup for my Noto I'd be in heaven! 🤣🤣 I hate glue. Especially on these bigger rims. Ugh lol
It never took me days with acetone. Like an hour per tire they basically fell off. But I use the baking method just because I got a toaster oven in the garage that I use for sculpey
So trying acetone got one to come apart quick but having trouble with number 2 I was holding up out of acetone I had heard that that worked but now I have idea I will update later
I've tried all but acetone. Boiling, i agree is too dangerous. Baking just makes the house stink. But I just realized... I moved and still have a week at the old place... I'm baking tires there tonight 🤣🤣👊🏿
I want to reuse my plastic rims and they have a colored bead printed on it, if i use the baking method does the paint come off in any way or it'll stay?
Good video. I run all my tires with no vents so that h2o doesn't get inside of my tires. Can you tell if the methods you liked the best can lock out the h2o from touching the foams?
Only baking it heatgun.. Then no liquids involved.. You can put acetone in a cup then put that in the bottom center of bucket..add the tires carefully so they sit above the cup so only the fumes will work the glue loose then shit the lid on the bucket air tight and let them sit for a day or more and they will come off by themselves,and no acetone liquid will hit your foams..
okay, so, i washed the tires before baking so they were full of water so the water boiled and the amount of rubber smelling steam in my home is amazing but the tires came loose really easily! :D
As a newbie Why do this in the first place? I mean if this is what customers WANT why don't they ship em out like this? Didnt old rc cars have easily removable tires???
Sweet video bro, maybe you could get Frank to combine the methods by boiling them in acetone in the oven, and using the blow dryer to dry out the acetone when it is squirting out of the wheel during removal........I'll be waiting to watch with a nice bag of popcorn 🤣
The main thing I've learned from making this video is everyone has there own method. A heat gun is a good idea because you can control the heat more easily. Thanks for sharing.
Very informative, but myvi used tire glue to hold down a speed controller now I need to remove it. In my situation what do think which one one would work best for me thanks
Yikes, I'm assuming you'd like to use the ESC again? You'll have to be very careful, I'd try using low heat from a hair dyer and prying with a small flat head screwdriver, putty knife, or something flat. Take your time and use low heat, you don't want to de-solder anything in the ESC.
Awesome! Thanks for doing all that research and sharing it. I'm new to RC, so I hope you don't mind a question. What is the best way to re-glue the tires to the rim? That is, if you glue them. If so, what type of glue? Thanks!
I tried using Acetone to remove my Clodbuster tires from the original white plastic wheels. The wheels completely melted. This method will not work on Clod wheels.
Got to have this video in the arsenal..! Killer.! Well done.! Had no idea that you can just use heat..! Sure it's a pain in the ass, but it works.! BTW, I was screaming at the TV as u were pulling the wheel out of the boiling water.. LOL.!
There's those times in life when 1 second after doing something we realize what an idiot we are. Squeezing a tire full of boiling water is one of those moments. lol Thanks for watching!
Good testing! I was surprised by the hair dryer. Baking is cool cause you can throw some cookies in with in! I just put the tires on a tray in the bbq so I don’t stink up my house. Same concept though as baking.
I used the acetone method work well imo... soaked the one side @ a time, let it sit 30 min. Each side. They peeled right off... flipped, repeat. No damage. The wife won't let me use her oven lol
We're you tires factory glued? I'm curious, I'm thinking time needed with acetone depends on how well they're glued. Thanks for sharing, I was most likely too impatient.
@@TandemCTelevision yes they were on a old scx 10 rtr they were well used... might have something to do with it. Waiting on a new 2.2 wheels going to try it again on tires I glued from a scx 10 II kit let you know how I make out.
@@TandemCTelevision fyi just got done using the acetone on the wheel from the kit... they came off very easy, could be my poor gluing technique or crappie glue. It did take the paint I had on them off though. Thanks for all you awesome content very informative channel keep up the great work.
This is the best video I’ve seen on this topic! Thanks for getting boiling water and acetone in your eyes in the name of science! I wonder if anyone has tried Super Glue Remover?

TandemCTelevision thanks i ordered some and after I ordered them I realized they’re only 4.3s and I like the look of 4.7s so maybe the 4.3s will look good but if not I found a solution
The oven method worked perfect!! 350 for ten minutes. Took me less than 5 minutes to remove all 4 tires!! Thank you!!!
That math ain’t working out lol (just busting balls I know you meant after the 10 minute baking)

for oven method do you have to do 1 at a time or put all 4?
I do all 4 at a time, just make sure and keep a close eye on them. Don't leave unattended.

The main thing I've learned from making this video is everyone has there own method. A heat gun is a good idea because you can control the heat more easily. Thanks for sharing.
I took mine to discount tire shop. Free repair lmao
Subscribed! Thanks for the help!
Thanks Travis, really appreciate the support.
This gone be good
Very informative, but myvi used tire glue to hold down a speed controller now I need to remove it. In my situation what do think which one one would work best for me thanks
Yikes, I'm assuming you'd like to use the ESC again? You'll have to be very careful, I'd try using low heat from a hair dyer and prying with a small flat head screwdriver, putty knife, or something flat. Take your time and use low heat, you don't want to de-solder anything in the ESC.
@@TandemCTelevision i was thinking about hair dryer method
@@TandemCTelevision what heat setting again did say i forget
Works with crazy glue????
Soaked my Tamiya rims in acetone for 3 days, the tyres were fine bit the rims had distorted and were unusable.
wizardwithguns I heard you don’t actually put the tires in the acetone. Put them on rocks.
Great video...
Awesome! Thanks for doing all that research and sharing it.
I'm new to RC, so I hope you don't mind a question. What is the best way to re-glue the tires to the rim? That is, if you glue them. If so, what type of glue? Thanks!
Hey Tony glad you stopped by! The best glue to use is a thin CA.
I tried using Acetone to remove my Clodbuster tires from the original white plastic wheels. The wheels completely melted. This method will not work on Clod wheels.
Isnt Aceton melting plastic and rubber too?
I just tried the oven method and it jacked up my rims.. 350 degrees at 7 mins I heard a pop noise
Thank You friend
No problem RC Cars Lover, I hope it was helpful.
Do you know how can I repair a faulty tire valve?. The air is escaping from it every time.
Buy a new valve stem...
What about a heat gun as opposed to hair dryer?
Got to have this video in the arsenal..! Killer.! Well done.! Had no idea that you can just use heat..! Sure it's a pain in the ass, but it works.! BTW, I was screaming at the TV as u were pulling the wheel out of the boiling water.. LOL.!
There's those times in life when 1 second after doing something we realize what an idiot we are. Squeezing a tire full of boiling water is one of those moments. lol Thanks for watching!
I am with you, brother..! I am with you...
I used the oven method on some scx24 OEM wheels and they melted 😬
Good testing! I was surprised by the hair dryer. Baking is cool cause you can throw some cookies in with in! I just put the tires on a tray in the bbq so I don’t stink up my house. Same concept though as baking.
That's a good option. Mine didn't smell too bad, but it would move any fumes outdoors.
Wont the oven melt the plastic wheels?
It did not melt my wheels, but I also kept a close eye on them.
I used the acetone method work well imo... soaked the one side @ a time, let it sit 30 min. Each side. They peeled right off... flipped, repeat. No damage. The wife won't let me use her oven lol
We're you tires factory glued? I'm curious, I'm thinking time needed with acetone depends on how well they're glued. Thanks for sharing, I was most likely too impatient.
@@TandemCTelevision yes they were on a old scx 10 rtr they were well used... might have something to do with it. Waiting on a new 2.2 wheels going to try it again on tires I glued from a scx 10 II kit let you know how I make out.
Thanks!
@@TandemCTelevision fyi just got done using the acetone on the wheel from the kit... they came off very easy, could be my poor gluing technique or crappie glue. It did take the paint I had on them off though. Thanks for all you awesome content very informative channel keep up the great work.
Thanks for the update!
Pretty good video:)
Awesome thank you
Good tips👍have not yet had to Remove Glued tires yet but I will definitely use that baking method😀
Don’t I melted my wheels
The oved method made some bad fumes, felt lightheaded for a bit 😬
What if I removed it before and I added super glue
Put your tires in closed container of acetone 48 hrs later pull off the tire from the rim
This is the best video I’ve seen on this topic! Thanks for getting boiling water and acetone in your eyes in the name of science!
I wonder if anyone has tried Super Glue Remover?
Isnt tire glue ca though
Isnt' there just a bead breaker tool like for real vehicles?
Thanks for the great video!! Best video I have seen on this topic. I have done the Acetone version, and if your are not in a rush it will work. Gonna give this a few shares :-)
Thanks I appreciate the shares! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Could I put the tire on bead lock rims after taking them off?
Yes, I would recommend it.
TandemCTelevision thanks i ordered some and after I ordered them I realized they’re only 4.3s and I like the look of 4.7s so maybe the 4.3s will look good but if not I found a solution
