Interesting vid, but he does not cover cleaning the tire bead prior to assembly or cleaning/scuffing the wheel either. The mold release agents used on the wheels and tires can be thick and will compromise the ability of the glue to bond correctly.

Squirrel is not the authority on this stuff, that has been proven before on this forum.

Also, the "putty" he recomends is not the best stuff to use to balance a MT tire, or bigger. You will be using a ton of it, and it comes off easier.

Looks like I really need to make a vid. I can see the "Pimp does RC" video series being a big hit!
