Beadlock Help...

[biggin69]

How in the heck do you all put the AX10 beadlocks together? I have tried to put one tire together three times and the tire keeps pulling right out.

You have to make sure the bead of the tire goes in the groove on the rims when you're putting the beadlock ring on.

Stock for now. I plan on getting some Losi's.

The foams that come w/ the lizards are way to big IMO, I wacked 1/2" off the width of them. Its alot easier than trying to stuff all that foam in the tire just to find out your tire will be to stiff in the end.

I found that putting a drink glass underneath the wheel really helps.

With the wheel and tyre on the glass.. i rolled the tyre down to push the foam downards which made the sidewall level with the rim.

then i lined the tyre to the grooves easily enough and put the beadlock on and screwed it up.

Repeated for the other side.

So much easier with a glass or cup or anything that is a simliar size to the wheel to roll the tyre downwards.

Thanks for all of the help guys. I ended up cutting about 1/2" off of the width like recommended and they went together quite easily.
