Never done anything with RC Cars until now. Do y0u have to use CA on the tires to mount them or is there something that you can use that will be easier to deal with when changing the
tiers?

Jim, I always used CA to mount them. When running anything with a bit of power even the ca would sometimes have a hard time holding the tire to the rim(even with sanding and cleaning the bead of tire and rim). When iw was time to change the tires I usually bought new rims and tires next go around. I never had much luck removing the tires from the rims and after racing the rims looked like poop anyways.

you use ca, then when tires are junk so are the rims

You can boil them in water to get CAed tyres off rims, but you have to be either very cheap or a very careful driver to want to put fresh tyres on old rims.

I will leave it for you to decide which I am.
