|  I hate my Axial 1.9 8 hole beadlocks!!!!
Okay after 3 hours of putting 4 proline flat irons on I squeeze them poof, they compress and wont come back up. Well i see the problem the tire popped off the bead, easy fix. 3 months later it starts it, tires are popping off the bead compressing and wont come back up, I realize its winter but why are my tires popping off the bead? Is it from driving them on dirt thats frozen? What is it? Its making me pissed.  I guess thats what I get for being cheap. |

Drill a hole in the wheels to let air escape. Should solve your problem  |

Either drill holes in your tire or your rim so air can move. I just drilled the tire because I didnt want to have to remove the beadlocks and I had weighted my wheels.

I love my Axial 1.9 8 holes! I have Flat Irons mounted to mine as well. These wheels are inexpensive, made well, durable, hold the bead well, and they look great. Let us know how you feel about the wheels after you drill air holes. |

Definatly try drilling the air holes. Also though, the memory foams are sensitive to temp changes, and when they get cold they get very stiff and do not come back to shape well until they warm back up.

What are some good foams i can replace them with so they dont do that? The stock Losi foams didnt do that. Should I try them?

also if you are having problems with your wheels holding the beads. make sure they are fully tightened. ive had no problems pulling a bead loose on any of mine that i use these wheels on
