I heated them up with my wife's hairdrier then gave them a clean with washing up liquid. They came up quite well in the end

These are the tires you want. They have been discontinued but if you can find a set nothing can touch them.

hi I am awaiting my first rc10, its a rc10b3 which needs new tyres, would these be the standard 2.2 size? I appreciate that the offset of the newer wheels is different but am unsure about the actual rubber.

Cheers

Chris

Last post

Yep, should be 2.2 . These rims

are a direct replacement. Just slightly narrower than a B4 rim, so you get a rounder tire profile.

Just received my new 2.2 wheels for my graphite car and had a look through others tyre choices, which seem to be pro-lines or jconcepts is there much difference between the two.

I'm looking for ribbed on the front and a spike on the rears.

Cheers...

Hello everyone,

My re-re Optima tyres have now de-fumed lol and the spikes are down to nubs.

I like the look of the rims but would like a different tyre. What options are there in 43 mm / 1.7

I was considering the re-re RC10 classic, but not sure...

Last post

Wouldn't the rear tires from a re-re Scorpion fit?

Has anyone ever used acetone to remove tyres from old school HPI 5 spoke wheels? Want to take some worn tyres off but not if if it trashes the wheels.

Cheers,

Ian

Last post

bearrickster, I went ahead and tried acetone on the wheels and can confirm that Vintage HPI 5 spokes are acetone proof, if anyone else needs to know :-)

Hello

What is the easiest way to paint/fill in the words on tyre walls?

Is there some kid of clever white marker pen available?

Many thanks
