| new guy...again
Well Im back again. I traded off my wraith a while back for a fullsize trail rig jeep. Well today my buddy texts me and asks if I wanna go to the hobby shop today, he picked me up and dropped off my wraith to me. $200 later at the hobby shop it now has 2.2 Swampers xl2 tires on axial beadlock rims another venom lipo battery. These things are huge!! Now time to drop more money into this thing.....again.... |

Yep. I only traded it because it had been a few years since I was actually wheeling in a real rig. Well I wanted it back ever since I got rid of it and buddy didnt use it much. (He has like 60 different rc vehicle and another axial crawler so I got it back)

No its red with clear coat. The bright light above it and the angle I took the pics makes it look more pink lol. Well after I ran it around the house for a lil bit tonight, the tires are coming out from under the beadlocks. Anyone ever have this problem before? Pretty sure all the beads were in the rims enough. |

Ive been running that exact same wheel and tire combo for several months and haven't had any problems with the beads seperating. I'd remount them again see what happens

Clean the tire bead with rubbing alcohol before remounting! Awesome tire if u can get them not to pull the bead. |

Im gonna trim down the foams some. I think thats part of the problem. The memory foams that came with these tires a just massive. Gonna trim down, clean the bead up and remount and see what happens.
