Gluing tires
I feel the same way that you do about gluing tires. If you run Losi trucks the step pin rears and the directional fronts come pre glued. I have found most of the are quite true and then I use a prop balancer and (golf club head weight) tape to blalnce them. I am not sure if any other tires come pre glued, it is fortunate that is what works best at our track.
