How would I go about doing this or will I have to go to a hobby shop ? Also are there another set of tyres from a hobby shop that will fit on the rb7 ? Supaheli

There isn't any real need unless you are into professional R/C racing.
There are tools to do this if you really want to go down this route
http://www.wheelspinmodels.co.uk/i/67338/
the series extension includes two further tyre/wheel sets - (medium & super soft).
You'll need to investigate at you local RC car shop if any other tyes/wheels are compatible.

If they are spinning lumpy, then you have not seated the tyres correctly prior to gluing.
The aditional tyres will likley have to be fitted.

You could try Superglue de-bonder, though it may also remove the paint from the wheels

Soak the parts in warm/hot (not boiling) for a few hours and you should be bake to remove the CA with little or no damage to the tyres but expect some damage to the paint on the rims. I once glued the ex wife's fingers together when she asked if I could apply false nails  NHS advise was to soak in warm/hot water for 30 mins until the glue started to separate.. It worked. Shame she didn't let me do her Dracula teeth for Halloween fancy dress  Spencer

Paint doesn't worry me getting the dryed ca glue off the rubber where you glue it to the rim does why you ask...to make tyre as balanced as I possibly can to all 4 tyres and try not to wreak the rubber doing it Supaheli
