Alex97 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Hello, are Nada blocks known for ungluing or ripping? All four of mine have come unglued from the wheel after using them yesterday. My buggy isn't overly powerful so I was surprised to find that all four had come unglued all at once. Is this a common issue and is regluing it the only way around it?

autobutcher Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Got them on the boys Slash, fine on 2s, one started to come off a bit now he runs on 3s but dot of glue and they been fine since, can't beat the 'budget Badlands' for the price.

Nitroholic Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 The set I had all needed re-gluing. Once done properly, they were fine...but as delivered, they were all badly glued. The inside edges came loose first, followed by the outer ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to get some more glue as I can't find my tire glue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 The foams are also known to disintegrate. Just thought I'd mention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistonhead Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Had one unglue, but only in one spot, it's the wheels i have a problem with, they're about the worst i've had, poor fit on the hex even when the nut's reamed up and they're brittle, all of mine started cracking after only a few tanks of light abuse with no big air.

I've had some before and I never had a problem with them, I'd used them in the snow (-4°) and didn't have a problem. It might just be a bad batch you had. I found some super glue so I've glued them back together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas2504 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Is it possible to get these tires without wheels so I can glue them myself? With 4s they just rip off immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relativenewbyseb Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 I used them until they came unglued, was very quick. .. then re glued and soon the hex had rounded! So I put them on a set of old wheels with some proper foams and they've been fantastic since I used the boil off method to get the tires by themselves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadleg Roberts Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Looks like they are cheap for a reason. Mine came undone on the second run, mainly on the front wheels with the extra turning forces. Another problem I had was that there are internal spokes which caught on the steering hubs on full lock. I had to mill them out so they didn't catch. I saw Doddy had this problem on his Hobao but used extender stubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relativenewbyseb Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 The actual tyres have been great for me though,just the wheels and foams aren't great for brushless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I've had a few of these and all come unglued and the foams are carbage :/ For the sake of another £7 you can get the real deal proline badlands which are much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
