Then the tire will slide right on the wheel if you work quickly. the plastic tire horns do help to get the tire started since the rubber's I.D. is a fair amount smaller than the plastic wheel's O.D. And another tip....when the rubber is worn out or damaged, if the wheels are still in good shape, it's easy to get the old rubber off. for that, I kept a large coffee can (witht eh plastic snap on lid) full of thinner. Toss the used wheels and tires in there and let them soak overnite. The solvent will dissolve the glue and the old rubber will slide right off, leaving a bare wheel that's ready to receive a new donut. Heck, way back in the day before the cars had ride height adjusters and when we all ran greens on both ends of the car, when my rears got too small, I'd use this method to slide the rear donuts off. After they dried out, I'd mount used rear donuts onto front rims and use the rubber some more. Now that's when RC racing was super cheap.

So I put the RC12R5 complete rear axles assy. in my R12 with the jaco tires ,Bingo..
Now I'm using all my jaco tires with the RC12R5 axles good to go...

btw I think all the 12th scale axles are the same....
