How to Remove X-Maxx Tyres - The Best And Easiest Way, No Chemicals

CAUTION VERY HOT HANDLE WITH CARE.
The best way to remove the tyres from X-Maxx rims.
Set oven to 170c or 340f or Gas mark 3.
Bake for 17 minutes with the face side up, when done turn over and bake for 10 minutes.
USE glove’s or a big towel as steam will come out the rims if your foams are wet and is super heated.
Watch all of the video and i’ll show you how to make new foams for pennies or Nickel’s.
To work out foam sizes use this formula:
Rim diameter 4.3” X 1.5 x 3.142 = 20.27”
To convert to MM x 25.4mm so you should have this:
4.3 x 25.4 = 109.22mm X 1.5 = 163.83mm X 3.142 = 514.75mm.
The width you you need is 3.75” or 95.25mm
This will give you the right size but i cut mine just a little bit bigger.
Cut the foam with a Serrated knife, if you use scissor’s the foam doesn’t cut straight and will be imbalanced.

Thanks a lot, this is maybe the best tutorial on how to rebuild an xmaxx tire. I now personally have an issue with just the foam inside so I'll just replace it following your steps! Thanks again!

Thanks, mine are fine 👍

[@drewkaplin6514]

Thanks for the super detailed information! Absolute legend! Cheers

[@blackmorevalerc]

Thanks Drew, I did add some rings of foam to the tyres to support the side walls better because of the offset on the Xmaxx wheels, and left the foams the same width it’s made the tyres a little bit stiffer and seem to work quite well, time will tell. 👍 PS the wheel weights were within 15 grams of each other so shouldn’t make to much difference.

Great video thanks. My local hobby said can't get foam need to buy new set for $100

[@blackmorevalerc]

Glad to help

Why not acetone? I just put 1 inch of acetone in a 5 gallon bucket, put coffee can in bucket, put the tires on the can, seal up the bucket. Don't submerge the tires! 24 hours later the glue is GONE. I hate the smell of baked tires in my house. It does take longer, but the tires fall off, and no sandpaper needed.

Wow that was amazing worked perfectly thank u

[@blackmorevalerc]

You're welcome!

[@kraftcraft2934]

Pretty cool idea. I use acetone doing mi wheels

[@blackmorevalerc]

It works, but the oven does stink for a bit, thank you for watching 👍

[@2blades_rc650]

Yep worked awesome thanks for the video!!

[@blackmorevalerc]

Glad it helped

[@joshnc2076]

excellent video. what kind of glue should we use at the end of the process ? cyanolite ? rubber glue?

[@blackmorevalerc]

I use 522 Pro tire glue, I just put on tires nice and snug, then open tire at the top put glue in and let it round, check all ares and apply more if needed.
This stuff dry’s so quick it will stick your fingers to the tire if not careful 😂

[@uan588]

I like your proscess.

[@blackmorevalerc]

Thanks for your comment, the process works well as i never had any tearing of the tyres from the rim.

[@joeyortiz13]

DO U HAVE TO HAVE THE FOIL ??

[@blackmorevalerc]

No but stops the missus beating over the head with the tray because it has crap all over it 😂

[@chrismafilovski8352]

What's the density of the 25mm foam?

[@blackmorevalerc]

T be honest i have no idea, I just went my local upholster and asked for some foam, and works really well 👍
