Sketer Why are my tires stuck?

[HZRDOS]

WTH. I cant get ANY of the tires off this rig. Anyone else have this issue? I don't want to jam a prybar in there and break any plastic....are there any other tricks?

Only way i know is in the oven for 10 mins
Or overnight in acetone.
Boiling water technique looks like a trip to the hospital to me.

Put a hair dryer on it. Heat it up a bit and they will pop off easy.

Yes I had the same issue so today I heated up the Hexs with my soldering iron a bit and they come right off.

dude!!! put the wheel you want off on the floor do your best to stand on it and Jerk and PUULLL!!! I thought I was gonna rip the truck in half but it came off. Took a sander on the rotary tool and opened it up a bit. Its all good now.

Did you read any of anybody else's posts?

I just pulled as hard as I could. Lol.

In retrospect a heat gun or blow dryer would work better haha

No problem R&R with the Redcat wheels. I suspect my backflip LPs too...
Ya might want to clearance your front wheel openings when you do the wide hub kit for those LPs, someone here might have a video on it...

This worked for me as well. Took about 30 sec on high for each.
