No, the Testor's wouldn't work, you need a CA type glue. Testor's is not strong enough. Loctite sells a Superglue (which is CA) and I've seen comments from folks using it that its as good as the rc specitic type tire glues (which are CA). In a pinch, ordinary superglue should get the job done if you don't want to go to or have an lhs to go to and get some rc tire glue.

Make sure you clean the tire bead before gluing - tires come out of the tire moulds covered in a mould release compound and if its not removed, it will not let the tires glue very well or at all. Wipe the bead or the tire and rim with some alcohol before you start gluing. You don't want your tires coming apart while racing....
