Every so often a tool comes along that makes R/C life easier and this is one of them.

Dude, I'm sorry I missed that! Glad you ultimately got it fixed though and that you're finding it to be helpful.

Joey,

Got my jig yesterday and glued up two sets of tires, I could not be more pleased! Nice work man, it was nice meeting you at the Wicked Weekend. Thanks!

Thanks again Joey. I have two sets of tires waiting to be glued up. Is a thinner CA recommended? I normally just use Loctite brand from the hardware store. It's cheap, and I have never had a problem with it.

Glad to do it, man. Super thin CA is just my personal preference. It does make the glue up go faster, but feel free to use whatever you're comfortable with.
