Tire Chunk Repair
I suffered a huge chunk, all the way to the rim on this RC4less pink front tire. It was bad enough, and the tire almost new in trued form, that I looked for the piece of foam the next day. Found it. Used Sobo Premium Craft and Fabric glue to glue it back in. Then I glued rubber powder from the truing station into the cracks. Retrued it just a little. It came out nice. These repaired sections wear well and do not upset the handling on 1/10 scale. You can also cut a piece of foam from another dead tire to make the repair.
