So you guys are using CA on the outside edge of the front tires? Regular, thin CA? (Not foam safe)

And someone also mentioned something about putting contact glue on the sidewalls of the rear tires. Is that purely a protection thing (against hitting walls), or is the idea to also glue the tire to the wheel a bit? And what kind of glue? Welders? Shoo Goo?

Oh -- one more question -- I was checking out an ESC I may use, but the main wires seem HUGE/heavy. What gauge wire would be recommended to replace it with? (I'll probably never run anything hotter than 13.5 boosted...)

As always, any helpful advice is appreciated!
