The Build – Part 12
Here we go, the final step. We are only showing the tires mainly because the body is a pretty simple step and requires painting (which we can’t help you with).

Build Notes:
Super glue can be nasty if it comes in contact with something like your fingers. Be careful when using.

Tires are 80% of your vehicles setup. Check to see what tires work at your track before mounting anything up.

The last step is to glue them up and mount them on the RC8.2! For a no-mess hassle, pick up a set of CompetitionX’s Gloo Toobs. These toobs make gluing tires a breeze!
