On the Loctite package, does it describe how to remove the glue, like it does on their other products?

I've been using the AKA glue, and I love it as it's super strong, however regular CA removers (and acetone) don't seem to affect the bond at all.

AKA tire glue is the ticket. Also, a little tip for storing your tire glue when not in use: Keep it in your fridge as it will maintain it's useful life much longer than if you leave it in your pit box or on your work bench.

Yeah, I keep it in the fridge, much to my wife's dislike!

BTW, the Losi tire glue tubing fits the AKA glue bottle too. The Bob Smith tubing does not.

My wife has banned any rc related items from entering the house, so I keep mine in a mini fridge in the man cave...that'll show her whose boss!

It is both described and have been displayed on pictures, but i still haven't figured out how they are attached to the A-arms?

The tubing that's used with the AKA glue bottle. It makes it TONS easier to glue tires, and it really helps keep me from getting glue on my fingers.

My man cave is my garage, but I don't have a fridge in there. It's so full of full scale car stuff and tools, so I don't have any room for RC stuff (even with a 3' x 16' workbench!). So for now, the RC stuff is in our dining room. I need to figure something out before she gets tired of it. I proposed that we get rid of one of the beds in the spare bedrooms, but she wasn't really crazy about that idea.

There are two little tabs that screw into the shields. These tabs capture the leading edge of the lower rear suspension arm (i.e. the tabs pinch the suspension arm between the tabs and the shield).

Thanks, Lars. It sort of has to be simple since I use spray cans and Parma paint masks. I try to make up for simple designs by using good color schemes.

I can just envision that conversation now "...look honey I cleaned out the spare bedroom just like you've been asking me to, and WOW, I seemed to have found all of my Rc stuff, ain't that funny!" Later that night on the evening news the headlines will read "...area man found bludgeoned to death with what appears to be a remote control radio of some sort, wife suspected in the beating....!"

My wife hates my RC habit so I never bring anything in the house, the only drawback is my garage isn't environmentally controlled so the winter time gets a bit tough. It's amazing how much you can still do when you can't feel your fingers!
