These videos are on how to glue tires onto the rims properly. It walks you through putting the foam on the tire, tire selection, placing the tire on the rim, using the beadlocks to put bead locks glue CA on the rim and to use the capillary action of the rim to draw the glue around it. One method to de-bonding the CA glue is the boiling method, where you bring a pot of water to a full boil, place the entire model in the pot and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes. After that is done, then remove the tire and try to peel off the tire from the rim. The hazard to this method is that water can get onto the foam and will burn your skin. Be sure to wear gloves to help minimize the heat and potential danger. Another method is the baking method. For this you will want to place the tire on a cookie or baking sheet and then place into a pre-heated 350 degree oven for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the tire from the oven and then peel off the tire.GRC New Product – “Ultimate Hardware/Parts Carrier” NEW PRODUCT: This parts box measures 10/8/1.75in tall and is perfect for organizing all your screws, shims, bearings and small parts.

I have been involved with the program in the past and attended another Hadley event on Sunday, March 4th to work with the kids. About the program: The program involves about 30 kids and uses RC as a learning tool. Organizers Jim Bourke and Mike Dorich have taken advantage of the many ways RC can be used to teach concepts such as math, physics, hand eye coordination, mechanics, sportsmanship, and responsibility. To me, the program’s greatest attribute is that it currently involves kids from grade four all the way up to seniors in high school.
