I just boiled my proline holeshots off... learned that the less water the better- at first i used a big pot and barely got the thing to boil.. then used a pot that was about 1'' larger then the tire... worked amazing- breaking the bead in 15 mins. Had to hack my way through some tough spots on the tire with a stubby kitchen knife tho.. (dont tell my mom :0)

now to dry the foams...

My buddy has had alot of success putting the wheel/tire in the oven on bake at 250. He leaves them in there for around 20mins, then pulls the out with oven mits (safety first) and pops the rim out. He says the ca just breaks down and gets like really thick grease. After the ca cools he says it will flake off the rim pretty easy.

He did say that venom tc wheels sagged a bit at 250, but proline plastic wheels did fine...

He said that most of the ca stays with the wheel, and not much is left on the tire.

dude...is that a small CIM on that 1/5 scale?

Ya its a cim alright. Going to run it on 36v.
