Mounting PG Tires

Nice tutorial! I need to get some slower setting glue... I have been using standard loctite and you literally have seconds to get things squared away before you have an out of square out of round tire/wheel combo... Can be very frustrating.
I unfortunately run with magnets, full voltage, with the stock motor(s) at the local commercial track, and have found that nail polish won't cut it for very long - but the super glue does do well. (now just need a source for the slow cure stuff!) :D

Thanks again for the tutorial and in particular the stand off tip - that is a slick idea! :D

I have been meaning to show that trick for awile now but keep forgeting, thanks for doing it for me Harry :text-goodpost:

I do the same thing with a wooden dowel that is jammed hard into a board. I pop it up and down with a mallet for adjustment, but its the same basic tool. Frankly, I thought I was the only one who would care about it. I can't stand inserts that stand proud. Makes me nuts and I think it ruins the look of the whole car. I use mine for 1/32 and 1/24.

Good information Harry.
Thanks

I forgot to mention something. There is something called "nail hardener" that is much better about a hold for urethane. I thought I got that from you, but where ever it came from, its much better than nail polish for gripping the tire.

Yes, that works too.

Thanks for the comments guys, glad it might help a few.

And Jon, you are the guy to thank. You motivated me to do this one.
