JRX2 rims and ACETONE.....what colour melts?

Quote

Post by Bormac » Thu Aug 22, 2013 8:04 pm

I have some Losi 2.0" spoked rims from the JRX2 which I want to use. So far I have stripped glued tyres from the red version rims with no problems but from memory was it the orange or the yellow that melt in acetone?

Orange for sure. The early ones iirc, the ones that are more plastic.

That's correct. All wheels are safe in acetone except the light orange (early wheels). The later orange was darker.

Yeah...DO NOT put the light orange wheels in acetone. I learned that one the hard way a couple weeks ago...completely cooked a set of original wheels from my old car. I had some darker orange wheels in the same tub and they were fine...just the light orange ones melted.

Hey all yoke peeps, need a answer on this topic. I am sure its covered somewhere else on the forum but I need to know which rims from the 870-94 YZ10 can be dunked in acetone, so realistically which rims are nylon and which are plastic. I know this...

Last post

SO I have tried pretty much a lot of rims from 870-94 + Jc racing rims and all came up ok. I have a set in their now which are black spoked rims and I think were fairly hard to get so I hope they come up ok.... :shock:

thanks again for your insight

I've got some Losi JRX2 wheels - which appear to be new but unfortunately have (also new) tyres rather poorly glued onto them.

I want to remove the tyres from the wheels for cleaning & to neaten them up but I am worried about using Acetone on them,...

Thanks guys for your advice.... don't think i'm going to take the risk :wink:

Great car! I've been looking for the lunsford myself, I probably lost the last set on a Ebay to you :lol: I have a similar build going to yours but in JRXT form. I think you win for the ultimate aftermarket X2 build.

Glad your bid wasn't too high...

I agree that it was his prerogative to do that, but it was completely retarded. IMO it just makes them look like idiots for destroying a sweet looking rig. :?

I did read that somewhere since I posted here that some of the rims take dye. I can say that the white ones I had didn't take them at all but the blue and the green ones don't look shiny like the whites and yellows do. As far as painting them I...

I have used acetone on NYLON rims many times to remove glued tires and it works great. Now the question is will it work on anodized aluminum rims. That I have not tried yet .

I have a set of b3 sport rims that I want to use on another project. I have heard that acetone will break down the glue. What about the acetone effecting the rims I think they are nylon . Im not looking to save the tires just the rims.

Last post

I like your idea I will give it a try and keep my fingres crossed . Juts to add, the wheels don't need to be submerged in the acetone, the fumes do the majority of the work. Pour an inch or two into the bottom and put something in there (brick or...

Hi All, new to this forum, but not new to RC or the RC10.

My parents bought my RC10 for me in about 1987, it was 2nd hand and I suspect it might be an Edinger version, although I'm not sure on that at the moment. I'm sure the original box had the...
