|  Problem with Proline switch beadlocks
Mine keep slinging the bead out every run. I am running the vxl brushless setup with a 2c 5200 mah lipo. Also have 10k diff fluid in. Anyone else have this happening? I bought these so i wouldnt have to glue them, but looks like im gonna have to! Even blew out the glue on the stock wheels!  |

I have never run these, but heard about LOTS of problems with them holding beads. Apparently proline has adressed the issue and will warrenty it, but don't quote me. Worth a call anyways. Also, beadlocks no matter what type are not the best for a brushless or high-speed set up. They just don't hold a bead like glue will.

about the best solution there is is to wrap duct tape on the inside to keep them from ballooning, but i never had a problem with mine and im running a mm with a 6900kv motor on 2c lipo

Thats weird, I have them and the Proline tires 5700 MM combo, 11.1 volts and no issues, and my back tires are pretty bald now too. Do your rim inserts have the spikes on them? You did see on the Switch tires there are 2 beads, one locks in and the other sits to the inside?

Mine always get pulled. I ended up shoe gooing the beads on and it helps. Iv'e pulled them with CA tacked here and there. I think its more that the plastic is to soft and flexes with the speed and what not. When I find extra $ I'm just going to go with buggy wheels next. GL mike |

take some fishing line and super glue it to the inside of your tire, that'll keep you r tire from ballooning and i shouldnt throw of the balance like duct tape or using the fiberglass method

I have the same tire/wheel setup on my Slash. I ran it in Omaha on a 4c with a Feigao 540 8XL with no probs....check that you are getting the right bead in there. (Looking at your pict again, your wheel looks like it's warped! The ring is on the edge of the wheel in some spots and further out on other spots?) |

I never should have opened my mouth. I took mine for a spin yesterday a few high speed runs. BAM threw the passenger side tire clean off about 30 feet in the air. Nothing is tore or broke, the tire just came off!!  |

 I'd try some shoo-goo that way at least you could remove if you had to. | |
