    It's called De-Bonder, and it's available at Mild to Wild, as well as most hobby shops I'm sure. One of the prices to having such nice wheels is the fixes are more complex :mad:

    Is the De-Bonder safe for the rubber tires?

    Never had to use it before, so I can't say for sure. My guess would be that it is safe.

    Thank you Smitty.
    I watched that video.  The oven method ain't gonna happen or I'll be needing a surgical shoe removal.  Boiling water maybe, acetone possibly but I don't like to deal with the "proper" waste disposal for the used acetone.  I also didn't like what the acetone did to the foams.
    I saw a related video where the guy uses a heat gun.  I could do that outside with a extension cord in case it smells bad, but I think I will look into the De-Bonder first though and see if that works but the shop is closed now until tomorrow.  I wonder if finger nail polish remover would work?

    Google up "Golden West Super Solvent" - RcGroups.com are saying this stuff works very well on CA ;)

    Disclaimer:     It's only what I've read so I'll not be making any recommendations today but they are saying it works well, is user friendly and also environmentally friendly. I did check the Safety Data Sheet and at least the "data" verified the "user and environment friendliness" aspect of the stuff, FYI:

    Not going to make it to Harbeck this Saturday. My wife has a rare weekend off work so we're spending some time together. I'll be at Redwood on Sunday though :)

    If the weather keeps up like this, and it looks like it will, we won't be going either.  I'll see what it looks like Saturday morning and if we do end up going I will make a posting in case any others want to come out.

    So far it looks like I'll be free for some racing this Saturday :) Only thing on the board for me is a field work day at the skypark for RVF so if that happens Saturday I'll miss racing. Otherwise I'll be up for spanking some nitro a$$ (Pile of Toys, Jrock, Newbie - you in?)!!! See you there.

    Great!  The weather is dry but I'd like it to be a little warmer too, but I'm going to be there too.  I'm bringing my OFNA Ultra GTP-2e and possibly a drift car and my little eRevo.

    Same here.  I am topping off my transmitter and car batteries right now.  I should be there between 12 and 12:30.  Looking forward to it!

    I wish I had my video camera.  Next time I'll bring my GoPro and other video camera and we can make three camera views of the racing.

    Sean, I had a great day.  Sorry about your OFNA GTP though.  I hope you get her running again soon so we can go out again before the weather goes wet or snowy.  If Mike gets that Slash to stay on the ground he'll be a force to reckon with.
