i just switched mine out today, seems to be rolling fine try super gluing the tire to the wheel cause it seems to slip a little bit even with the bead locks

I have a few customers running the Claws on the Losi Beadlocks, none of them have commented on that issue. I have noticed that the Losi Beadlocks are a bit wider than the stock plastic wheel, hence making the contact patch wider and lowering the profile of the tire just a bit. I haven't noticed any issues with them pushing to one side though.

| losi beadlocks
I'm running the Losi Beadlocks fully weighted with memory foams and bashers and they are rolling towards the axle as well, but don't seem to affect the performance any. Havn't had any slippage issues but would rather run the claws. I was going to star cut the blue foams but if that's the problem maybe not!

sounds like we need to look into a slightly wider tire with a compound similar to the losi blue claws... i haven't looked at the 1.9 hammers yet.. any1 checked the size compared to a claw? compound difference?

I run the blue bashers as well and also have the same concerns about the sidewall of the tire rolling toward the axel. When side hilling the wheel ring on the down hill side is almost on the rock.
