60 second wheel repairs

Post by mAdMan »

All you need is Superglue, Baking Soda, and a dremel.

Stripped.

Sprinkle on the baking soda dry over the sink. Wipe smooth with your finger tip.

Image

Drip the smallest amount of superglue on top of the baking soda. Then dust just a little more baking soda on top. It’s dry instantly.

Image

Make a slot for the pin with your dremel’s fine tip tool. You can cut a slot in the plastic or in the repaired soda/glue. Both work fine. Repair again as needed though if you are like me and run 3s in a SC10B on monster truck masher 2000’s in pin 2.2’s. :lol:

It works great. These are monster truck 2.2 tires. It’ll hold.

You can also beef up the inner wheel spokes where they meet the hub with repeated layers. You can even put the glue on first, add fibers from a paper towel fiberglass, metal, whatever. Then add the baking soda on top. Any order works.

Awesome!

Love the last photo.

Can lightly oil the pin and place it in the baking soda before adding the glue... for those without a dremel.

RCCA needs to bring PIT TIPS back....

Good tip thank you!

For plastic this is the rotary tool I use. Super cheap and works great with all the attachments.
