can anybody list a set of direction on how to glue the tires on properly? seems to me that these little things are harder to glue than tenth scale tires

all you do is lift up a little bit of the tire and put some tire glue in as much diamater as possible, than put it down and then do that for the whole tire.As im doing it i put lots of pressure where i already glued. Then i just squeze the tire untill i think its dry

I didn't even glue it, seems like there is enough friction to stay on.

Unless you are racing or running really high speeds constantly i would not glue them. For small tracks mine stay on nicely.

Our carpet track has so much bite that the front tires come off all the time. The simple way I glued them without getting glue all over the place was to take a toothpic and dip it in the glue. Then run the toothpic between the tire and the rim. You will be able to do about 1/4th of the tire at a time, but it keeps the glue from running around the outside of the tire.

I cut 1/16" wide strips of double stick carpet tape for under the bead. I run on some good traction carped and I have not had a problem yet but I can remove them with no trouble if I need to.
