Default on the rustler are the tires supposed to be glued to the rims? help!!!!!

Okay it tuned out to be a nice day today so I ran my new Rustler and well everything great besides the first run I hit something and the front tire on the outside started coming off, then the back one on the inside so my question is are you supposed to glue them on?? If so what type of glue do you use? the lady at one of the hobby stores said some wheels you do glue on and some you dont, so does anyone know for this truck ? it has the wheels that came on it its the RTR one with the xl-1 speed controller the wheels are chrome ..

Thanks

Yes, CA glue, also known as Krazy Glue or SuperGlue.

CyanoAcrolate glue - also in Hobby shops as CA glue.

Around the rim where the bead of the tires gets glued, make sure you sand the area lightly to remove any glossy finish. This helps the glue hold to the rim better.
