- Mount the tire onto the new Astral rim, ensuring a snug and even fit. You may need tire glue (sold separately) for a secure bond.
- Attach the newly shod wheels to the rear axle of your RC car, ensuring they are properly tightened but not over-torqued.
Care:
- Clean the rims with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove dust and debris.
- Inspect for any damage or cracks, especially after rough use. If damage is found, replace the rim to maintain performance and safety.
- Store the rims in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
