Can I guess you're sponsored by AKA? Their tire wipes are WAY over priced..IMO
Vito, motor spray on a rag will work just as well for tire and wheel prep.
@Vito, have you glued tires before? If not, have a local show you how to do it. Or watch some vids on Youtube. There's no easy way to explain it to you in text.
I use the thinnest glue I can find, but that's not likely the best for someone new to gluing tires. I t gives you zero "work time" to get the bead back in the rim.
(have you tried the receivers I sent you yet?)

Tried and true, TLR Standard
We actually tested of the different things people use to clean tires to see what worked and what didn't. Motor spray was actually the worst thing to used, over and over. No cleaning at all worked better. The winner was Windex, hands down. 2nd place was Simple Green. Best part is, they are both super easy to get and super cheap.
Not a left and right since they are different for mid or rear. Etching front for rear, etching back for mid.

Wow, I must be doing something wrong as I just weighed mine and I'm at 1638. And I don't have any of the brass Rocket RC parts in my car. Here is a pic, maybe you guys can see a blatant issue. The car is pretty much stock 2.0. I do run the chassis protector on the bottom and my wires are stock length (so longer than they need to be). But I also run Lunsford titanium turnbuckles and shock mounts and a shorty battery. I don't have any brass weights in the car. No wonder I'm slower in stock racing.
Thanks for all your suggestions.

I've read most of this forum and couldnt find a setup for my conditions, I've looked at all the ones on TLR site and Petit. My track is extremely tight dusty clay very low temp and very low traction. Tires of choice are super soft suburbs. Other super soft tires do work as well. Track requires a lot of steering, on and off power. Any tips would be greatly appreciated! (I just switched to tlr 22 2.0 so I'm new to the car)

I just lightly run some fine grit sandpaper around the mounting surface of the tire and rim, wipe down with a damp cloth and start gluing. Never had a tire come loose.

raise rear roll center (take away inner rear camber link washer) The high roll center will keep the rear end level throughout the turn, helping the onpower steering, but the camber rise will increase keeping the rear end planted.
Just a few ideas!

but, then again, not all shorties are the same weight and/or weight savings.
