    Hi folks,

    :) I thought Id create some posts recently as ye were a bit saddened that there was no chattin going on here!

    I have a question or 3 on tyres:

    1) Can anyone reccomend any HARD WEARING tyres for bashing for 1/8th buggy. (How Much not too pricey if poss)

    2) Also where ye foudn best place to get them from?

    3) Whats best to stick em on with. I wouldnt like to comment on how much superglue Im using its bloody brittal and only dries round the edge I find.

    Thanks,
    Kind Regards,
    Nick.

    .... I wouldnt like to comment on how much superglue Im using its bloody brittal and only dries round the edge ...
    Cyano acrylate superglue varies a lot in quality.
    The supermarket stuff is superglue, but it is far easier to break joins on than model shop cyano I am familiar with and usually use.
    I found this out when I bought a tube in the supermarket last year to do a temporary fix, on my holidays. I threw it out the next day and drove thirty miles to the nearest model shop. The join had broken three times under ridiculously low stress.
    The difference surprised me.

    great cheers.

    I have ordered some Raptor II 's and duratrax tyre glue a mate said was good stuff!
    Paid €20 for each pair and the glue was €5.80 was that good?
