Foam Tire Glue?

[GearHd]

Can anyone give me a link for foam tire glue? Im looking to mount up some tires but I can't find a place to buy the glue. Thanks.

Any good contact cement should work. Have you ever mounted your own tires?

I've mounted foam tires years ago. I know it can be a pain in the butt. It's kind of a specialty application thats why im doing it. Im mounting new tires on my original RC500 wheel. You can't seem to get any kind of parts for the RC500 anymore so I have to do it all the hard way.

I've used 3M weatherstrip adhesive with success, but I wonder if you'd be able to pick up some of that nasty blue/green stuff from Associated. If they don't have it, I bet they would tell you where to get it.

The commercial brands available are TRC True Glue, TM Manufacturing (they have a website site) but all run around $6.95 and the contact cement works just as well and cheaper. At least when it drys up you won't have spent as much to throw away. I use 3M Contact Cement for about $2.99.

what's the inner diameter and width of the TRC street spec tires? or the 1/10th front/rears? I'm tring to get a set of tires for my Dads older Tamiya Ferrari F40 RC but I need more info before I start buying ;)

The wheels for 1/10th is 1.5 inches or 33mm. Width is 1.5 for front and 2.0 for rear. Rough cut donuts are a bit wider and taller and need to be trued.
