|  Help with beadlocks
I am newer to crawling. I bought some Raceline Monster 2.2 beadlocks, and some Swamper TSL SX's and cannot get them together. I bought 2.2 tires. Do they need to be a specific tire to fit this rim?

Seems like the tire is too thick for the wheel.

Too thick or wide? RC4WD states: Note: Due to many different methods to design tires and wheels, we have no control over other manufacturers products. So we can only tell you that RC4WD tires and wheels work together. In some cases our wheels and tires will work with other brand wheels and tires, but we can not guarantee the outcome. |

Those tires are said to be difficult as the beads are bigger than most tires. I've had success mounting Proline tires with Axial regular plastic beadlocks if that helps.

They dont fit. I tried and got 1 mounted, but destroyd the tire. The rubber lip on the tire is thick and triangel shaped. Rc4wd tires have a flat thin lip.

The funky bead on the tsl-sx is known to not play nice with internal bead lock wheels. The more conventional beadlocks with the external rings are much simpler and if you can begin to fit the bead into the wheel grooves they can be clamped right down with ease. These are great wheels that would be a good candidate for you Gear Head 2.2 Trail King EZ-Loc Wheels (4) Last edited by Jus; 04-06-2014 at 11:42 AM. |
