As I pointed out in one of my posts earlier, I bought some 1/12 gear a number of years ago but because of life situations, didn't get a chance to really get into it. I have an opportunity to now tinker more with it so I was hoping you guys can help me out with some tire questions.

I've got a tire truer and a bag full of unmounted foams that I bought off of here. If I've got an old set of wheels that are completely unusable, can I strip off the rest of the foam and use the rims to mount some new foams? If so, what's the best method of stripping the rims clean and what's the best method to mount the new foams?

When I say I've got a bad full of foams, I really have a lot so I'd like to use them all before I start getting into ones that are already pre-mounted. Thanks for the help!
