Overview
The Sweep Strong Tyre Glue Type A 5-7S with Flexible Glue Extension (SW0003) is a precision-engineered cyanoacrylate adhesive specifically formulated by Sweep Racing for bonding RC car tyres to wheels. Whether you're a dedicated RC enthusiast in the UK looking to maintain your competition vehicles, or a weekend basher who wants reliable tyre attachment without constant re-gluing, this product delivers professional-grade results every single time. Sweep Racing have built a reputation as one of the best RC tyre companies, and their commitment to quality extends to their adhesive range, ensuring that when you invest in Sweep tyres for your RC car, you get the matching glue that performs perfectly with them.
This thin-viscosity formulation is engineered to give you a working window of approximately 5-7 seconds before the glue cures, providing just enough time for precise application and positioning without the stress of racing against the clock. Once set, it forms a strong, permanent bond that keeps your tyres securely mounted to your wheels, eliminating the frustration of tyres slipping or separating during critical moments in a race or run. The included flexible glue extension transforms the application experience, allowing you to control dispensing with pinpoint accuracy and reach into those tight areas around the tyre bead that would otherwise be difficult to access, resulting in clean, professional results with minimal cleanup required once the adhesive has fully cured.
For RC enthusiasts across the UK, from the casual hobbyist to the serious competitor, the Sweep Strong Tyre Glue represents the kind of premium consumable that separates amateur setups from professionally maintained RC vehicles. This is genuine Sweep Racing product with full manufacturer backing, meaning you're getting exactly what has been tested and validated for use with Sweep's complete range of RC tyres and wheels.
Key Features
- Thin-viscosity cyanoacrylate formulation — The specially developed thin-viscosity formula allows for precise application around tyre beads without creating thick, uneven adhesive layers, which means you get a cleaner bond and better tyre-to-wheel contact for optimal grip and handling performance in your RC car.
- 5-7 second working time before curing — Unlike faster-setting adhesives that demand near-superhuman reflexes, this glue gives you a practical 5-7 second window to apply the product, position the tyre correctly on the wheel, and ensure proper alignment before it sets, dramatically reducing the chance of misaligned tyres that would compromise your vehicle's handling.
- Strong, permanent bond between tyres and wheels — Once cured, this adhesive creates a durable, long-lasting connection that withstands the stresses of acceleration, cornering, and impacts, meaning your tyres stay mounted securely throughout your racing season or casual bashing sessions without re-gluing between runs.
- Minimal cleanup required after application — The thin viscosity and precise application nozzle mean excess glue is virtually eliminated, saving you time and effort tidying up your workspace after mounting fresh rubber, and reducing waste of your adhesive supply.
- Included flexible glue extension for controlled dispensing — The supplied extension tube is engineered to be flexible yet precise, allowing you to direct the adhesive exactly where you need it around the tyre bead, reach into constrained areas that would be impossible with the standard nozzle, and maintain control even with smaller RC wheels, supporting consistently clean results every time you mount a tyre.
- Genuine Sweep Racing formulation — As an officially developed Sweep product (part number SW0003), this glue has been rigorously tested to work optimally with Sweep Racing tyres and wheels, giving you the confidence that you're using the manufacturer-approved adhesive matched specifically to their products.
Technical Performance
The Sweep Strong Tyre Glue Type A 5-7S represents the culmination of Sweep Racing's expertise in creating high-performance RC consumables that match the quality standards of their renowned tyre range. The thin-viscosity cyanoacrylate chemistry is engineered to cure to a permanent, rigid bond that can withstand the repeated lateral forces, acceleration stresses, and impacts inherent in competitive and recreational RC car use. The approximately 5-7 second working time has been precisely calibrated—short enough that the glue won't flow excessively across the wheel surface and create a messy application, yet long enough to allow proper tyre seating and positioning without the panic of ultra-fast setters. The included flexible glue extension is manufactured to maintain viscosity consistency whilst directing the adhesive with precision, featuring dual thin nozzles that allow for controlled application in even the tightest spaces around tyre beads. Materials and engineering quality throughout reflect Sweep Racing's commitment to being one of the best RC tyre companies, with the same attention to detail and performance that users expect from their complete product ecosystem. Whether you're maintaining a dedicated competition RC vehicle or keeping your casual bashers running perfectly, the engineering and material science behind this adhesive ensures reliable, repeatable results every time you need to refresh your rubber.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is Sweep Strong Tyre Glue suitable for all RC car tyre brands or just Sweep tyres? — Whilst this glue is specifically formulated and tested by Sweep Racing for optimal performance with Sweep tyres and wheels, the cyanoacrylate chemistry will work with other quality RC tyre brands. However, for the best guaranteed results and compatibility, Sweep recommend using their glue with Sweep Racing tyres, as they've engineered the two products to work together perfectly.
- How long does the glue stay usable after opening the bottle? — Like all cyanoacrylate adhesives, Sweep Strong Tyre Glue will gradually become less effective once the bottle is open and exposed to air. Storing the bottle with the cap tightly sealed and keeping it in a cool, dry place will extend its usable life. The included pin caps should always be used immediately after application to maintain the product's performance over time.
- What is the actual working time—is 5-7 seconds truly enough for precise positioning? — Yes, the 5-7 second working window is intentionally calibrated to be practical for real-world tyre mounting. Unlike ultra-fast setters that cure in 1-2 seconds and create panic, this timeframe gives you enough opportunity to apply the glue around the tyre bead, position the tyre on the wheel, and check alignment before the cyanoacrylate begins to set. Most experienced users find this timing perfectly suited to efficient tyre changes during pit stops or maintenance between runs.
- Does the flexible glue extension come pre-attached or do I need to assemble it? — The flexible glue extension is supplied as part of the package and is ready to use. Simply attach it to the bottle nozzle when you're ready to apply the glue, and it will provide you with improved control and precision compared to using the standard nozzle alone.
- Can I use this glue for other bonding tasks beyond RC tyres? — Whilst the adhesive is a cyanoacrylate formulation that could theoretically work on other materials, Sweep have specifically developed and formulated this product for the demands of RC tyre mounting—the working time, viscosity, and cure characteristics are optimised for that application. For other bonding tasks, you may want to consider adhesives developed specifically for those purposes.
- What makes Sweep Racing's glue better than generic cyanoacrylates? — Sweep Racing are recognised as one of the best RC tyre companies, and that expertise extends to their adhesive range. Their Strong Tyre Glue Type A has been specifically formulated with the thin viscosity, precise working time, and permanent bond strength that RC tyre mounting demands. Generic cyanoacrylates may have different working times, viscosity profiles, or cure strengths that don't align with the specific requirements of quality RC tyre application, making Sweep's purpose-built formula the superior choice.
