I use loctite professional super glue in the blue bottle--it's fast CA just like the "tire glue" but is in a much better designed bottle. It's just a hair thicker than fusion and bonds in seconds and is ready to run runs in 2-3 min. It's what I use for 1/8 scale too. It's nice because it gives you a slight moment to walk the glue around and then it's stuck. It's especially good for cutting the inside bead of a tire at 45 degrees and re-gluing when replacing foams. The bottle makes the glue last in nearly new condition to the very last drop. Seriously good product.
Make sure and get the blue stand up bottle. The little one is not the same and has a mini metal tube in it and is junk.

Air temp can be a factor but it still shouldn't take that long.
I prefer thin, but that's up to each person.

You read my mind.

Haven't used aka, but this glue is a pretty thin and towel-smoking fast glue. I would shy away from calling it anything other than fast, but my experience tells me that it is slightly slower than fusion, which has the viscosity of water basically. I use this stuff when I cut down rear tires to make fronts by gluing the tread together, so you know it's good stuff.

Suburbs=more agressive steering
Scrubs= calms the steering
Been running the Kyosho BB since early last year. The AE BB were only a rumor at that time. Kyoshos are smooth and keep the car planted. Big improvement over the V2s for sure. I have never tried the AE BB so I can't give a comparison. It's debatable but many consider the Kyoshos the choice hopup shocks around. But I guess with AE out with their own now it may not be the case. I like them but if it were not for deal I scored here I would have never paid the retail $$$ for them.

Care to share how you mounted the kyosho big bores? I have a set of rb6 big bores and it seems like they won't work. The rear spring runs the turnbuckle pretty bad and the front rubs the tower I know it has to be filed down but it looks like the shock will be at a weird angle

so i need to order those spacers since i don't have enough...it says 7 per front and 2 per rear and that's 16 total and there are 8 in this set if the right ones but kinda have to since that's the only spacer that i got and they are black in my Kit but all the pics i see of them are clear so i might not have got them so that's why im asking

The rear of the buggy is using lunsford turnbuckles, not sure if that matters. I went ahead and did the mount-to-the-rear hub tower deal so no rubbing, but as others mentioned may be an issue for handling. vehicle felt fine for me, but I am on carpet at the moment. next time I run it on that surface I'll see about switching the position and report back.

I have used losi glue & really liked it. Last time I needed tire glue I happened to have won a JC gift certificate so I tried their glue & their glue tips. I really like the glue & the tips are nice also. With the way the tips are made I cut one down to open it up some for tire gluing & use one uncut for touchups & detail glueing.
