| how to prevent tires coming out off the beadlocks
how do you guys mount the tires on beadlock wheels? in my case it came loose at a high speed turn. my setup is tekin rs pro, redline 13.t, stock gearing. currently using stock ripsaw r35 tires from kit, mounted on cr01 beadlocks wheels with tamiya aluminum beadlocks. i have vanquish star wheels on the way, will it solve my problem? or i should do extra precautions like gluing tires? but how? thanks. |

Thanks for the replies guys, but getting another set of wheels is not an option for now since i already bought a vp szz star. What should i do to prevent loosing thread? Is gluing tires to an aluminum wheels is acceptable? Will a super glue stick on the aluminum of the wheels? Another option is if ill change my ripsaw to proline tsl swamper, will it solve the problem? |

Superglue should help them stick enough to solve the problem, unless the clearance is completely out of spec on the wheels/rings.

Clear silicone should bond to both and be fairly easy to remove if you want to disassemble the tire and wheel without damage or heavy cleanup of the residue. I have a tube on hand but surprisingly have not lost a bead and had to use it.

| Re: how to prevent tires coming out off the beadlocks thanks! i will try this first to my ripsaw on cr01 wheels. the silicone must be put on the side of the ring or on the wheels side?
