MonacoRC Sidewall Tire Manual Gluer

New from MonacoRC is their Sidewall Tire Manual Gluer, which is a simple and effective tool designed to precisely apply glue to the sidewall of tires. It is the ideal solution for those who want a tire gluing device at a highly competitive price. This product comes in a clear plastic case that offers optimal organisation for all its components. Made through 3D printing, it features an attractive design that evokes the imagery of racing cars, with a base that houses two central bearings. These bearings allow the adapter to rotate, which has a threaded metal insert at the top end. Here, the aluminum nut is screwed in, which is used to secure the tire. Usage is simple and intuitive: just place the tire on the adapter, tighten the nut to secure it, and, with one finger, move the tire at the desired speed to glue it.
