Well on a whim I bought a set of Proline 2.2 Epic Beadlock wheels not realizing they were for a Slash and not realizing the back of the wheels did not have a beadlock ring.

The outside is a standard beadlock but the inside is an internal beadlock held on by the outside ring. I mounted them on 2.2 Rok Lox and it held fine.

Just wondering if I should hang on to these or try to sell them. I have a Slash 4x4 which is just about done with the stock tires but these wheels can only run the Proline Switch tires.

What do yall think? If it holds for a 2.2 wheel I like the idea I can have two sets of wheels for my Slash 4x4 and also my crawler rigs.

Hard one.

OK has this ever been done?

Thanks for that reply yes they are the old Slash wheels but they will fit on the 4x4 as well but thing is I guess I will have to see how well they hold on the inside bead as it's an internal lock.

They hold decently. Not good, but not too bad. I have some on my slash with the axial rocklizards on them. No foam up front and stock switch foams in the back. For lowspeed it's fine. Make sure you run a thick diff fluid! If you diff out at all and give throttle it'll pop them out.
Just in case, I use a very small bead of rtv silicon on the ring and back side of the wheel to hold the tires on.
On my old set I ca glued a bead on the ring and before it drys sprinkle on baking soda. Makes it like griptape.
